Task Specific Effects of Unilateral Eccentric and Concentric Exercise on Spinal Excitability of the Contralateral Homologous Plantar Flexors.
(East Carolina University, 2011)It is well established that resistance training increases the size and strength of the trained muscles. It is also known that unilateral muscle contractions can produce strength gains in the non-exercised contralateral ... -
Teager-Kaiser Operator improves the accuracy of EMG onset detection independent of signal-to-noise ratio
(East Carolina University, 2008)A temporal analysis of electromyographic (EMG) activity has widely been used for non-invasive study of muscle activation patterns. Such an analysis requires robust methods to accurately detect EMG onset. We examined whether ... -
Training and Endothelial Function In Upper and Lower Limbs
(East Carolina University, 2013)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) begins with damage to the endothelium, the inner lining of the blood vessels. Endothelial damage occurs as early as childhood and is associated with risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, ... -
Transcriptional regulation of muscle fatty acid-binding protein.
(East Carolina University, 1994-03-15)Heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is present in a wide variety of tissues but is found in the highest concentration in cardiac and red skeletal muscle. It has been proposed that the expression of H-FABP correlates ... -
VARIABILITY IN POPLITEAL ARTERY BLOOD FLOW : EFFECT OF EXERCISE TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2012)Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is regulated through changes in cardiac output (Q) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), where Q = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV). Healthy heart rhythms have inherent variability and a ... -
WORKSITE INTERVENTION TO REDUCE SEDENTARY TIME
(East Carolina University, 2012)Background: Prevalence of sedentary occupations is on the rise and sedentary time is independently associated with an increased risk for chronic diseases. Interventions conducted in the work site have potential for reducing ...
