Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity In Human Skeletal Muscle: Association with Plasma Lactate Concentration
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-11)
ABSTRACT Background: Metabolic disease is a growing concern for public health. Obesity and Type II Diabetes are an epidemic and a phenotype for insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. A reduced mitochondrial function ...
Shearwave elastography : a prospective study on short term changes in UCL health of college baseball pitchers
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-31)
The rate of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction surgery, or "Tommy John" surgery, has risen dramatically in baseball pitchers over the last decade. Throughout the baseball pitching motion, the UCL undergoes ...
AMP Deaminase 3 knockout mice and loss of mitochondrial proteins and enzyme activity during denervation atrophy
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)
Muscle atrophy leads to decrements in muscle function, partly attributable to decreased mitochondrial content. One controller of mitochondrial content is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which when bound by AMP activates ...
The Relationship between Gait Biomechanics and Body Mass Index
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Walking gait is one of the basic components of human movements. With the rising obesity epidemic and implied health complications, it is pertinent to examine the relationship between body mass index and the joint torques ...
THE EFFECTS OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM ON INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AND CYTOKINE LEVELS IN HEPATIC MACROPHAGES
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In mammals, many aspects of daily behavior and physiology such as the sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, and liver metabolism are regulated by endogenous circadian mechanisms. Despite tissue-specific physiological ...
Does Dog Ownership Affect the Owners' Quality of Motivation to Engage in Physical Activity?
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Using the framework of the self-determination theory (SDT), the current study compared men and women dog owners' and non-dog owners' a) physical activity levels, b) perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness during ...
Relationships Among Team Cohesion and Performance, Anxiety, Retention, and Satisfaction
(East Carolina University, 2015)
In addition to the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), Social Networking Analysis (SNA) has recently emerged as a promising research approach to measuring team cohesion. However, little to no research has simultaneously ...
How do we accelerate while running?
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Running biomechanics are well established in terms of lower extremity joint kinetics as is the direct relationship between these variables and running speed. Many studies have investigated the differences in these variables ...
THE EFFECT OF EXERCISE TIMING ON THE BLOOD GLUCOSE RESPONSE TO A MEAL IN CHILDREN
(2015-04-28)
The aim of the current study was to investigate whether the timing of exercise affects a child’s blood glucose response to a meal. Nine children between the ages of 7 and 11 years were studied. On two separate test days, ...
Effect of Exercise Training on Metabolic Syndrome z-score : the Association of C- reactive protein
(East Carolina University, 2015-06-25)
PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that metabolic syndrome z-score (MetSynZ) is improved with exercise training. Metabolic syndrome is based upon insulin resistance, such that it would be expected for insulin resistance ...
