Sex-Specific Abdominal Activation Strategies During Landing
(East Carolina University, 2006)Context: Control of the trunk segment in landing has been implicated as a contributing factor to the higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in females than in males. Investigating the sex-specific abdominal ... -
Dieting practices, weight perceptions, and body composition: A comparison of normal weight, overweight, and obese college females
(East Carolina University, 2006-03-31)Background: Of concern to health educators is the suggestion that college females practice diet and health behaviors that contradict the 2005 dietary guidelines for Americans. In this regard, there remain gaps in the ... -
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 ... -
Acute Modulation of Adipose Tissue Lipolysis by Intravenous Estrogens
(East Carolina University, 2006-12)Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether intravenous (IV) conjugated estrogens (EST) acutely enhance the suppression of whole-body or regional subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) lipolysis by insulin in ... -
Descriptive Epidemiology of Collegiate Men's Football Injuries: National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System, 1988-1989 Through 2003-2004
(East Carolina University, 2007-04)Objective: To review 16 years of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) injury surveillance data for men’s football and identify potential areas for injury prevention initiatives. Background: Football is a ... -
Relative fat oxidation is higher in children than adults
(East Carolina University, 2007-08-16)Background: Prepubescent children may oxidize fatty acids more readily than adults. Therefore, dietary fat needs would be higher for children compared with adults. The dietary fat recommendations are higher for children 4 ... -
Muscles do more positive than negative work in human locomotion
(East Carolina University, 2007-10)Muscle work during level walking and ascent and descent ramp and stairway walking was assessed in order to explore the proposition that muscles perform more positive than negative work during these locomotion tasks. Thirty ... -
A survey of energy drink consumption patterns among college students
(East Carolina University, 2007-10-31)Background: Energy drink consumption has continued to gain in popularity since the 1997 debut of Red Bull, the current leader in the energy drink market. Although energy drinks are targeted to young adult consumers, there ... -
Dietary carbohydrate intake and high sensitivity C reactive protein in at-risk women and men
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)Background— The quality and quantity of dietary carbohydrate intake, measured as dietary glycemic load (GL), is associated with a number of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and, in healthy young women, is related ... -
No difference in the skeletal muscle angiogenic response
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)Ischaemia-induced skeletalmuscle angiogenesis is impaired in aged compared with young mice. In humans, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and protein following an acute exercise bout are lower in aged compared ... -
Exercise Training Amount and Intensity Effects on Metabolic Syndrome (From Studies of a Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention through Defined Exercise)
(East Carolina University, 2007-12-15)Although exercise improves individual risk factors of the metabolic syndrome (MS), there is little research on the effect of exercise on MS as a whole. The objective of this study was to determine how much exercise is ... -
The Unplugged Office Space and the Role of Sustainable Design in Higher Education
(East Carolina University, 2008)This article looks at sustainability in higher education and office environments, specifically proposing a green redesign of the Greenville, NC V.O.A. site. -
How do low horizontal forces produce disproportionately high torques in human locomotion?
(East Carolina University, 2008)Although horizontal ground forces are only ~15% of vertical forces, they account for 47% and 33% of the metabolic cost in walking and running. To explain these disproportionately high metabolic costs we hypothesized that ... -
More Than Just Letting Them Play: Parental Influence on Women's Lifetime Sport Involvement
(East Carolina University, 2008)This qualitative study uses expectancy-value and life course theories (Giele & Elder, 1998) to examine both the proximal and distal impact of early family socialization on enduring female participation in sport. Seventeen ... -
Teager-Kaiser Operator improves the accuracy of EMG onset detection independent of signal-to-noise ratio
(East Carolina University, 2008)A temporal analysis of electromyographic (EMG) activity has widely been used for non-invasive study of muscle activation patterns. Such an analysis requires robust methods to accurately detect EMG onset. We examined whether ... -
Intramuscular lipid oxidation and obesity
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)There is an accumulating amount of evidence indicating that lipid oxidation is depressed in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. Decrements in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) have been reported with obesity in models ranging ... -
Relationships between Adipose Tissue and Cytokine Responses to a Randomized Controlled Exercise Training Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)Adipose-derived cytokines play a prominent role in mediating the metabolic consequences of obesity and excess body fat. Given this, we hypothesized that alterations in adipose tissue stores incurred with exercise training ...
