The Influence of BMI and Self-Efficacy Levels on the Accuracy in Self-Reported Physical Activity Recall
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The purpose of this study was to compare self-reported and objectively measured physical activity levels among college students with different body mass index (BMI) classifications (normal weight and overweight/obese), in ...
THE ROLE OF LONG-CHAIN ACYL-COENZYME A SYNTHETASE 1 (ACSL-1) IN LIPID METABOLISM IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE PRIMARY MYOTUBES.
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Obesity is considered a major health threat to the U.S. due to being a strong risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. The prevalence and severity of obesity is even greater among some ...
EFFECTS OF MODERATE AEROBIC EXERCISE ON THE ATTENUATION OF LEAN MASS LOSS DURING RAPID WEIGHT LOSS
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Background: Obesity has become a severe issue in the United States, and gastric bypass surgery has been one of the most successful tools to combat the adverse consequences of this disease. The rapid weight loss associated ...
Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)
Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation. J Appl Physiol 106: 1079â 1085, 2009. First published February 5, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.91262.2008. The ...
Effect of Acute Exercise or Fasting on Mitochondrial Function and High Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance
(East Carolina University, 2009)
A high-fat diet leads to an accumulation of lipid in skeletal muscle, and the development of both mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. Recently, our lab reported that lipid overload leads to elevated ...
Intramuscular Lipid Metabolism, Insulin Action and Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)
With the increasing prevalence of obesity, research has focused on the molecular mechanism(s) linking obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Metabolic alterations within muscle, such as changes in the cellular ...
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 - ...
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 ...
ASSESSMENT OF HOW INTERNALIZED FORMS OF MOTIVATION MEDIATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUPPORTS FOR BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BEHAVIORS
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The prevalence of obesity has increased steadily over the last 30 years and it is a growing concern for school, health and recreation providers. Decreases in time spent in physical activity and increased participation in ...
NORTH CAROLINA FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES STUDENTS : HOW STUDENTS PERCEIVE THE VALUE OF THEIR CLASSES CURRENTLY AND FOR THEIR FUTURES
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) secondary courses offer students opportunities to explore career pathways, and gain invaluable self-sufficiency life skills such as how to prepare healthy and nutritious meals, how to ...
