Impact of Hormone Replacement Therapy on Exercise Training-Induced Improvements in Insulin Action in Sedentary Overweight Adults
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)Exercise training (ET) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are both recognized influences on insulin action, but the influence of HRT on responses to ET has not been examined. In order to determine if HRT use provided ... -
IMPACT OF MIDGUT BACTERIA ON AEDES ALBOPICTUS VECTOR COMPETENCE FOR LA CROSSE VIRUS
(2015-05-01)La Crosse encephalitis is a pediatric illness caused by mosquito-borne La Crosse virus (LACV) and is endemic in western North Carolina. Mosquito control is the only defense against this disease. Not all mosquitoes can ... -
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 ... -
The Impact of Religiosity on the Sexual Socialization of Emerging Adults
(East Carolina University, 2011)The influence of religion within the socialization process as it pertains to sexuality was examined among 20 emerging adults aged 21-24, using qualitative research methods. Overall, participants fell into two categories: ... -
Impaired overload-induced muscle growth is associated with diminished translational signalling in aged rat fast-twitch skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2006-07-01)Impaired overload-induced protein synthesis and growth in aged fast-twitch skeletal muscle may result from diminished responsiveness of signalling intermediates controlling protein translation. Yet, potential age-related ... -
Incorporating a visuomotor skill task with resistance training does not increase strength gains in healthy young adults
(East Carolina University, 2012)Resistance training causes well-documented adaptations in the nervous system and increases maximal voluntary force of healthy human skeletal muscle in the trained and also of the same muscle in untrained limb. It is also ... -
Increased Antagonist Coactivation-Related Hamstring Torque Reduces Maximal Knee Extension Torque in Healthy Old Adults
(East Carolina University, 2010)As humans age, the ability to produce maximal voluntary torque decreases due to muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and it is also known that advancing age alters the neural control of voluntary movement. One manifestation of the ... -
Increased Secretion and Expression of Myostatin in Skeletal Muscle From Extremely Obese Women
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)OBJECTIVE- Obesity is associated with endocrine abnormalities that predict the progression of insulin resistance to type 2 diabetes. Because skeletal muscle has been shown to secrete proteins that could be used as biomarkers, ... -
The Influence of BMI and Self-Efficacy Levels on the Accuracy in Self-Reported Physical Activity Recall
(East Carolina University, 2011)The purpose of this study was to compare self-reported and objectively measured physical activity levels among college students with different body mass index (BMI) classifications (normal weight and overweight/obese), in ... -
The Influence of Energy Expenditure on Mitochondrial Functions, Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance under Metabolic Oversupply Conditions
(East Carolina University, 2011)Mitochondrial respiratory capacity and oxidative stress have been implicated in the development of insulin resistance (IR) and type II diabetes. A causative role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the etiology of ... -
Influence of Exercise Mode on Maternal, Fetal, and Neonatal Health Outcomes : The ENHANCED by Mom Project
(East Carolina University, 2014)The extent of the health benefits of exercise during pregnancy is just beginning to be explored and developed. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic and circuit training throughout pregnancy on ... -
The Influence of Pre-Pregnancy Activity Level on Birth Weight
(2015)Current research suggests that healthy pregnant women can follow the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) exercise recommendations for the general population. Studies demonstrate that exercise during pregnancy improves ... -
Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights
(East Carolina University, 2010)Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year amounting to billions of dollars being spent on the ACL annually. While the quadriceps muscle produces an anterior shear force on the tibia that ... -
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 ... -

Integrated Primary Care : A Systematic Review of Study Design and Program Characteristics
(East Carolina University, 2012)Integrated primary care (IPC), the integration of medical and behavioral health professionals, is a viable part of the solution for the United States' fragmented health care delivery system. Over the past decade or so, ... -
The Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) trial: design and rationale
(East Carolina University, 2009-07-28)Background: Obesity is the most modifiable risk factor, and dietary induced weight loss potentially the best nonpharmacologic intervention to prevent or to slow osteoarthritis (OA) disease progression. We are currently ... -
The Interaction of Trunk-Load and Trunk-Position Adaptations on Knee Anterior Shear and Hamstrings Muscle Forces During Landing
(East Carolina University, 2010)Context: Because anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can occur during deceleration maneuvers, biomechanics research has been focused on the lower extremity kinetic chain. Trunk mass and changes in trunk position ... -
INTERACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
(East Carolina University, 2013)The presence of the English Language Learner (ELL) population is ever-increasing in our Kindergarten-Grade 12 sector. With this influx of students who may need specialized attention, it is essential for educators and ... -
International tourism later in life : Innovation Theory related to benefits gained
(East Carolina University, 2010)As the Baby Boomer cohort (1946-1964) within the United States age, the travel industry will demand a shift in services provided to the senior market. Although there are many research studies on older adults and others ...
