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 ...
SHORT STEP KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS: A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO RUNNING POST ACLR
(East Carolina University, 2016-06-01)
Introduction: Post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), individuals are 3-4x more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis (OA). Increased knee joint loads, and knee joint loading characteristics have been ...
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DOSE FOR AFFECTIVE RESPONSE IN ACTIVE WOMEN WITH 5+ HOURS OF DAILY SEDENTARY TIME: A PILOT STUDY
(5/16/2016)
The majority of U.S. adults are not sufficiently active to reap health benefits. Affective response to physical activity may be a predictor of long-term adherence to an active lifestyle, with positive affect predicting ...
Effects of resveratrol and contractile activity in human skeletal muscle myotubes from severely obese individuals
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
The prevalence of obesity is exponentially increasing worldwide. Although strategies such as exercise, nutritional intervention, and pharmaceutical therapies including resveratrol have been extensively studied in lean or ...
Impact of Muscle Material Properties on the Hypertrophic Response of Aged Women to Resistance Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-21)
All of the reports that comprise this dissertation center around the overarching hypothesis that the attenuated response to resistance exercise observed in older adults is caused by an impaired ability of the muscle to ...
Alterations in insulin action and contraction-mediated metabolism in myotubes derived from Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients
(5/16/2016)
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery induces various metabolic benefits in severely obese (BMI> 40 kg/m2) individuals, including improved insulin action in peripheral tissues, most notably skeletal muscle, and remission ...

officiating. ...
Effects of High-Insulin Exposure on Mitochondrial Content in Skeletal Muscle Myotubes from Lean & Severely Obese Individuals: A Time Course Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-01)
Skeletal muscle is the site at which highly regulated energetic processes take place as a means of maintaining both tissue-specific and whole-body metabolism. With the development of severe obesity (BMI [greater-than] or ...
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 ...
Unravelling the mechanisms of menopause-induced insulin resistance: novel roles for estradiol in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function
(East Carolina University, 2016-11-16)
Menopause results in a progressive decline in ovarian production of 17[beta]-estradiol (E2), increased adiposity and a higher risk for type-2 diabetes, but hormone replacement therapies containing E2 reverse most of these ...
