Association Between Objectively Measured Physical Activity And Depression Symptoms
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Purpose: Previous studies examining the relationship between depression and physical activity have been epidemiological in nature and have measured physical activity subjectively. The purpose of the present study is to ...
VARIABILITY IN POPLITEAL ARTERY BLOOD FLOW : EFFECT OF EXERCISE TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is regulated through changes in cardiac output (Q) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), where Q = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV). Healthy heart rhythms have inherent variability and a ...
SKELETAL MUSCLE METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY IMPAIRMENTS IN RESPONSE TO LIPID WITH OBESITY : EFFECT OF EXERCISE TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Obese individuals exhibit skeletal muscle metabolic inflexibility by failing to increase fat oxidation and genes linked with mitochondrial biogenesis in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) and lipid incubation in cell culture. ...
Introducing portable pedal machines inside a university library to reduce sedentary behavior
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Background: Sedentary behavior is a health risk factor independent of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Sedentary behavior takes place frequently in libraries. Few sedentary behavior interventions ...
The Effect of Active Video Gaming on Physical Activity Levels of Students with Developmental Disabilities
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The purpose was to examine differences in physical activity levels of children (N = 24) with developmental disabilities in traditional adapted physical education activities compared with Nintendo Wii Fit active video gaming ...
NADPH Oxidase as a Mechanistic Link Between Erectile Dysfunction, Peripheral, and Coronary Endothelial Dysfunction in Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Cardiovascular complications involving both microvascular and macrovascular tissues are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in obese patients. Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that erectile dysfunction ...
SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY AND MOVEMENT TECHNOLOGY IN COLLEGE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CLASSES
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The college-age population is not sufficiently physically active and physical activity declines markedly during the college years. Interventions in university and college settings are potential avenues for increasing ...
Regulation of GLUT4 expression in denervated skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2009-03)
Denervation by sciatic nerve resection causes decreased muscle glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression, but little is known about the signaling events that cause this decrease. Experiments were designed to test the ...
