THE INFLUENCE OF EXERCISE BEFORE AND DURING PREGNANCY ON OFFSPRING HEART FUNCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Maternal exercise during pregnancy is quickly becoming a trend that has been shown to have benefits for fetal and infant development (e.g. heart health and development). Most studies examining the influence of exercise ... -
The Influence of Maternal Exercise Type on Heart Measures at One Month
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of aerobic, resistance, and circuit training during pregnancy on infant heart measures at 1 month of age. We hypothesized that there would be differences ... -
The Influence of Race on Gestational Exercise and Birth Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-31)In the United States, long-standing racial disparities in adverse birth outcome are prominent among the non-Hispanic Black (NHB) population, particularly when compared to Caucasians. Although maternal physical activity ... -
The Kinematic and Kinetic Changes During Distracted Landing and Focused Landing Tasks in College-Aged, Female Soccer Players
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, and as it continues to grow in the female population there is a significant increase in leg injury risk. There are various biomechanical risk factors associated with ... -
The Nurses' Physical Activity Study: Caring for You so You can Care for Others
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-08)Nurses face multiple stressors on a daily basis and often report the greatest stress of all health care workers (Ilhan, Durukan, Taner, Maral, and Bumin, 2008). The negative impact of stress on patient and nurse health and ... -
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LACTATE, MITOCHONDRIA, AND PEROXISOMES IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Human metabolism is a complex mechanism involving many interdependent parts. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship or lack thereof between lactate, mitochondria, and peroxisomes in human skeletal muscle. ... -
The Relationship Between Sitting Time and Arterial Stiffness in Obese African Americans
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-18)Purpose: Sitting time and arterial stiffness have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. However, the association between objectively determined sitting time and arterial stiffness ... -
The Relationship Between the Hamstrings to Quadriceps Strength Ratio and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-11)Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common knee injuries in sports and is associated with other serious health concerns like osteoarthritis (OA). Forces developed by the hamstrings and quadriceps ... -
The Relationship Of Level Of Physical Activity And Quality Of Life Of Community-Dwelling Older Adults
(East Carolina University, 2015)The purpose of this study was to describe observed relationships between level of physical activity engagement, perceived quality of life, and life determinants (i.e., age, gender, race, and educational level) of ... -
THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GENDER-NEUTRAL PARENTING ATTITUDES, NEGATIVE DIMENSIONS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION IDENTITY, AND CHILD OUTCOMES AMONG LESBIAN MOTHERS
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)The primary purpose of this study was to explore the correlations between lesbian mothers' gender-neutral parenting attitudes, negative dimensions of their sexual orientation identity, and child outcomes. Participants ... -
The Relationships Between Physical Capacity And Biomechanical Plasticity With Age During Level And Incline Walking
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-11)Old compared to young adults exhibit a distal-to-proximal redistribution of joint contributions to support phase mechanics during level and incline walking. Although this biomechanical plasticity is now well established ... -
The Role of Hope with School Aged Children
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-15)Hope has been defined as "the sum of perceived capabilities to produce routes to desired goals, along with the perceived motivation to use those routes" (Snyder, 2000 p. 8). Hope has the potential to influence several ... -
THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF RHO KINASE INHIBITOR Y-27632 ON PROTECTION FROM CHEMOTHERAPY INDUCED PERIPHEAL NEUROPATHY IN MOUSE MODEL
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Chemotherapy drugs have neurotoxicity associated with treatment, which can become a dose-limiting problem when clinical presentation is severe. However, there is no effective therapy to circumvent the neurotoxicity of ... -
THE VARIATION IN STRENGTH DECREMENT OF LOWER EXTREMITY MUSCLE GROUPS AND BIOMECHANICAL PLASTICITY IN OLDER ADULTS
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-13)Age-associated biomechanical plasticity (BP) has been established as the distal to proximal shift of joint mechanical output in old adults while walking. The cause of BP is still unknown, but changes in muscle strength of ...
