Obese Children Have a Lower Lipolytic Response to an Acute Bout of Exercise When Compared to Lean
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Over 17% of American children are obese. These are epidemic proportions considering the associated risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Excess fat is caused from an imbalance in energy stored versus energy expended. ...
Regulation of Lipolysis By Perilipin : influence of Obesity and Exercise Training
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Obesity is the result of excess energy storage due to an imbalance between energy storage and energy utilization. Excess energy is stored as triacylglycerol (TAG) in adipose tissue in various regions throughout the body. ...
Effects of Parental Obesity on Fat Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise in Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)
The aim of the present study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a morbidly obese parent - (COP) (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40 kg/m²) to children with relatively lean parents - ...
University Students' Perceptions of Pedagogical Documentation : A Qualitative Research Study
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Ten university students attended a two week study abroad tour of the early childhood centers in Pistoia, Italy. Using a qualitative design, students participated in reflective writing activities in order to assess their ...
Relationships between Adipose Tissue and Cytokine Responses to a Randomized Controlled Exercise Training Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)
Adipose-derived cytokines play a prominent role in mediating the metabolic consequences of obesity and excess body fat. Given this, we hypothesized that alterations in adipose tissue stores incurred with exercise training ...
Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year amounting to billions of dollars being spent on the ACL annually. While the quadriceps muscle produces an anterior shear force on the tibia that ...
Medical Family Therapy : Conceptual Clarification and Consensus for an Emerging Profession
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The term Medical Family Therapy (MedFT) was coined in the early 1990s (McDaniel, Hepworth, & Doherty, 1992a) by a team of family therapists and a family psychologist. Since then there has been growing interest in MedFT, ...
FACTORS DETERMINING STRUCTURED ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION IN RURAL YOUTH : INTERNAL CAPACITIES, MICROSYSTEM SUPPORT, AND CONSTRAINT NEGOTIATION
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Rural youth often face challenges to recreation participation that differ from their urban counterparts. Fewer opportunities for exposure to positive adults, and a lack of resources and programs limit opportunities to ...
Cleaved Caspase-3 Response to Acute Resistance Exercise in Young and Old Men and Women : Relationship to Muscle Glycogen Content and 5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Activity
(East Carolina University, 2011)
In addition to suppressing protein synthesis and activating protein degradation in skeletal muscle and other cell types, 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is known to stimulate nuclear apoptosis in non-muscle cells ...
EFFECTS OF A 16 WEEK PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INTERVENTION ON SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS IN 8-11 YEAR OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN AND CAUCASIAN CHILDREN.
(East Carolina University, 2013)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker of systemic inflammation that has been associated with heart disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders in adults and children. Previous physical activity interventions have ...
