Skipping the Injuries: A Biomechanical and Metabolic Comparison Between Skipping & Running
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-20)Introduction: Benefits of aerobic exercise are apparent; the rising awareness has caused an increase in running participation and, an undeniable trend toward injury. The inherit injury risk associated with running calls ... -
Social and Environmental Factors Associated with Preschoolers' Non-sedentary Physical Activity
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)The two-fold purpose of the investigation was (1) to describe with direct observation data the physical activity behaviors and the accompanying social and environmental events of those behaviors for children in preschools; ... -
Social Network Analysis as a Complimentary Tool to Measuring Team Cohesion
(2017-03)In addition to the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), Social Networking Analysis (SNA) has emerged as a promising approach to measuring team cohesion. However, little to no research has simultaneously used both measures ... -
Social Studies Middle-School Energizers Classroom-based Physical Activities The way teachers integrate physical activity with academic concepts
(2006)Middle School Energizers Middle School Energizers are classroom-based physical activities that integrate physical activity with academic concepts. The Middle School Energizers were developed by a team from the Activity ... -
Social Support among Mothers Enrolled in a Physical Activity Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that mothers does not participate in recommended amounts of physical activity. Research has identified many factors associated with physical activity among mothers and social support ... -
Sport as medicine: How F3 is building healthier men and communities
(2019-02)Given sport has been largely absent from U.S. public health policies and discourse, the author suggests ways that sport can be better managed to promote health. Using a critical perspective and grounded theory approach, ... -
Sports and Community on Campus: Constructing a Sports Experience That Matters
(2013-05)Student affairs personnel are often charged with the task of creating a sense of community on campuses. Sports is among the many activities that historically have been used to meet this need for community among students. ... -
Stiffness of Intrinsic Foot Structures in Diabetic Individuals and the Effect of Stiffness on Plantar Pressures During Gait
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-06)Plantar foot ulcers are a severe and common complication associated with diabetes that overwhelmingly lead to non-traumatic major amputations among diabetic individuals. There are several known factors that contribute to ... -
Stretching as pre-intervention can improve aged muscle's response to a resistance training intervention
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)Sarcopenia represents an important problem in older women affecting their physical function. Resistance training interventions in older adults have been widely investigated, and the effect they have in this population have ... -
STRIDE LENGTH MANIPULATION IN YOUNG AND OLD ADULTS DURING LEVEL WALKING
(East Carolina University, 2010)Physiological and neurological changes with healthy aging cause old adults to alter biomechanical gait strategies. Mechanical plasticity is an ambulatory strategy in which old adults rely on proximal musculature in ... -
Substrate Utilization During Submaximal Exercise in Children with a Severely Obese Mother and Response to Exercise Training
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)The aim of this study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a severely obese mother (BMI[greater than or equal to]35 kg/m2) to children with a lean, non-obese mother (BMI[less than or ... -
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 ... -
The Effect of Exercise Training on Cardiovascular Mortality Risk
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)Clinicians use risk calculators in primary prevention to estimate CVD mortality. A potential limitation of available risk calculators are they generally estimate risk based on traditional risk factors, which is problematic ...
