Effects of Dietary Leucine Supplementation on Muscle Mass and Markers of Protein Degradation in Overloaded Skeletal Muscles of Young Adult and Aged Rats
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The hypertrophic response to overload in fast-twitch skeletal muscle is impaired in aged humans and rats, and upregulation of protein degradation pathways are hypothesized to be a contributing factor. Muscle growth occurs ...
Exercise effects on physical activity level, self-perceptions, and quality of life of sedentary children, the interaction of BMI, and the association between moderate to vigorous physical activity and psychological variables
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The purposes of this study were to (a) examine the relationship of physical activity with global self-esteem (GSE), physical self-worth (PSW), physical self-perceptions, and health related quality of life (HRQOL), and to ...
THE EFFECTS OF A 16 WEEK PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAM ON BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN LEAN AND OBESE PREPUBESCENT CHILDREN AGES 8-11.
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The current obesity epidemic has become a major health crisis to citizens around the United States. Obesity has been successfully linked to a plethora of different disease states including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, ...
The Effects of Aerobic Exercise Training in Children with Lean and Extremely Obese Biological Mothers
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The purpose of this study was to compare fat oxidation rates between children of lean biological mothers (CLP) (BMI[less than or equal to]28kg/m[superscript]2) and children of extremely obese biological mothers (COP) ...
EFFECTS OF A 16 WEEK PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INTERVENTION ON SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN CONCENTRATIONS IN 8-11 YEAR OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN AND CAUCASIAN CHILDREN.
(East Carolina University, 2013)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker of systemic inflammation that has been associated with heart disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders in adults and children. Previous physical activity interventions have ...
The Meaning and Cultural Context of Physical Activity as Perceived by Physically Active, Rural African American Women
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Background - The health problems of overweight and obesity are growing concerns in the United States and in many parts of the world. At the time of this study, African American women had the highest mortality and obesity ...
Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension
(East Carolina University, 2012)
When a muscle produces voluntary force, muscles on the opposite side of the joint, the antagonists, are also activated. While coactivation of the knee flexors during knee extension is presumed to increase joint stability ...
Impact of Reading for Pleasure Versus School During Exercise on Affective State Responses
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Based on the distraction hypothesis, an acute exercise session provides a time out from life stress and serves as an explanation for why exercise potentially improves affect. It is plausible that not all exercise settings ...
Effects of a Before School Physical Activity Program on Physical Activity and On-Task Behavior in Elementary School-Aged Children
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The prevalence of obesity in children has dramatically increased over the last few decades and physical inactivity has been identified as a main contributor. Schools are an ideal setting for children to engage in physical ...
POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE MUSCLE WORK OF NON-LEVEL WALKING IN LEAN AND OBESE ADULTS.
(East Carolina University, 2010)
When walking on non-level surfaces at a constant speed, an individual's total mechanical energy will increase when walking up an incline, and will decrease an equal amount going down a decline. Total muscle work performed ...
