    Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension 

    Brady, Robert B. (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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    The Effect of Eccentric Hamstring Strength Training on Muscle Function 

    Seymore, Kayla D. (East Carolina University, 2015)
    The high prevalence of hamstring strain injury in sports, coupled with detrimental performance and financial effects of hamstring injuries, stress the necessity to implement an intervention capable of minimizing hamstring ...

    The Effect of Plantarflexor Strength Training on Gait Biomechanics in Healthy Old Adults 

    Tatarski, Rachel L. (East Carolina University, 2013)
    Locomotion is an important and inherent part of daily life and is integral in maintaining an independent lifestyle, especially in older adults whose functional capacity has declined. Physiological changes with aging, ...

    The Relationship between Gait Biomechanics and Body Mass Index 

    Tullock, Ann Marie Herring (East Carolina University, 2014)
    Walking gait is one of the basic components of human movements. With the rising obesity epidemic and implied health complications, it is pertinent to examine the relationship between body mass index and the joint torques ...

    How do we accelerate while running? 

    Schuster, Daniel J. (East Carolina University, 2015)
    Running biomechanics are well established in terms of lower extremity joint kinetics as is the direct relationship between these variables and running speed. Many studies have investigated the differences in these variables ...

    The Effects of Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on Quadriceps Muscle Biomechanics During Locomotion in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis 

    Leonardis, Joshua M. (East Carolina University, 2013)
    Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by knee joint deterioration and pain, while also being associated with altered knee joint mechanics and quadriceps strength deficits. Research investigating the effects ...
