    Effects of a Before School Physical Activity Program on Physical Activity and On-Task Behavior in Elementary School-Aged Children 

    Vuchenich, Michelle (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. 

    McNally, Michael P. (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 ...

    A Comparison of Lean and Obese Gait Characteristics of Children and Adults During Level Walking 

    Herring, Cortney S. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Increased body mass affects gait kinematics and kinetics in adults. It is however unknown if increased body mass produces similar adaptations in children and adults. The duration of obesity in children is shorter than ...

    A single dose of metformin improves whole body insulin sensitivity and alters cellular redox state in skeletal muscle of Zucker fa/fa rats 

    Lark, Daniel Stephen (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Energy balance is considered a fundamental requirement of life forms from single cell organisms to higher mammals such as humans. Unfortunately, our species has also discovered the detrimental metabolic responses to excess ...

    STRIDE LENGTH MANIPULATION IN YOUNG AND OLD ADULTS DURING LEVEL WALKING 

    Copple, Timothy J. (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Physiological and neurological changes with healthy aging cause old adults to alter biomechanical gait strategies. Mechanical plasticity is an ambulatory strategy in which old adults rely on proximal musculature in ...

    Obese Children Have a Lower Lipolytic Response to an Acute Bout of Exercise When Compared to Lean 

    Geyer, Gabriel Hardy (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Over 17% of American children are obese. These are epidemic proportions considering the associated risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Excess fat is caused from an imbalance in energy stored versus energy expended. ...

    Regulation of Lipolysis By Perilipin : influence of Obesity and Exercise Training 

    Johnson, Emily Ann (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Obesity is the result of excess energy storage due to an imbalance between energy storage and energy utilization. Excess energy is stored as triacylglycerol (TAG) in adipose tissue in various regions throughout the body. ...

    University Students' Perceptions of Pedagogical Documentation : A Qualitative Research Study 

    Mitchell, Nicole (East Carolina University, 2010)
    Ten university students attended a two week study abroad tour of the early childhood centers in Pistoia, Italy. Using a qualitative design, students participated in reflective writing activities in order to assess their ...

    Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights 

    Bulluck, Jonathan M. (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 ...
