Gender Differences in Aerobic and Work Capacity During Plantar Flexion Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2009)Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is lower in females compared to males during traditional whole body, systemic exercise. These differences in VO2max between men and women are still present even after correcting for ... -
GENE EXPRESSION IN RESPONSE TO MECHANICAL LOADING ON THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Many tissues in the body, especially bone, have exhibited adaptive responses to lowmagnitude, high frequency mechanical loading. However, the response of ligament to these types of mechanical loads is not well understood. ... -
Girls With Game: Sport and Community Development Strategies
(2023-06-19)This case focuses on the Little League Softball World Series and the potential interest and growth of youth softball. The case outlines current trends and highlights potential opportunities to grow the game after a 2020 ... -
Healthful Living Middle-School Energizers Classroom-based Physical Activities The way teachers integrate physical activity with academic concepts
(2006)Middle School Energizers Middle School Energizers are classroom-based physical activities that integrate physical activity with academic concepts. The Middle School Energizers were developed by a team from the Activity ... -
High-Fat Diet Induced Obesity Increases Serum Myostatin, but Does Not Accelerate Skeletal Muscle Atrophy
(East Carolina University, 2013)Myostatin is a potent negative regulator of muscle mass, i.e. high levels of myostatin induce loss of muscle. Surprisingly, severely obese humans and obese mice have elevated levels of serum myostatin, but the role of ... -
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 ... -
How do we accelerate while running?
(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 ... -
Identifying Primary Healthcare Providers’ Barriers to Prescribing Physical Activity as Medicine in Comparison to their own Physical Activity Level
(East Carolina University, 2016-06-01)Abstract Objective. To examine healthcare providers' barriers to counseling physical activity to their patients. Then examine the same primary providers' own physical activity level over the course of 7 days (1 week) using ... -
IDENTIFYING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN ONLINE DANCE-SPECIFIC PROTOCOL ON ALIGNMENT AND MUSCLE ACTIVATION IN UNIVERSITY DANCE MAJORS
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-29)Sagittal pelvic alignment is a key component in a dancer's ability to perform the physical tasks required of a dancer. To maintain and improve sagittal pelvic alignment and overall fitness, dancers must cross-train in other ... -
IL-15 : A NOVEL REGULATOR OF LIPOLYSIS IN HUMANS?
(East Carolina University, 2014)Interactions between and within organ systems such as skeletal muscle (SkM) and adipose tissue (AT), via immune cell signaling factors (cytokines), may regulate the development of obesity. The increased expression and ... -
The impact of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on muscular strength, muscle soreness and creatine kinase.
(East Carolina University, 1994-12)The purpose of this study was to determine if there were any beneficial or detrimental effects regarding delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), serum creatine kinase (CK), and maximum concentric strength at 80% of 1-RMconc, ... -
The Impact of Formal versus Informal Sport: Mapping the Differences in Sense of Community
(2012-10-09)As the popularity of sport continues to grow, more community developers, planners, and leaders are recognizing the ability for sport to foster community. Similar to other community contexts, understanding the structure and ... -
Impact of Hormone Replacement Therapy on Exercise Training-Induced Improvements in Insulin Action in Sedentary Overweight Adults
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)Exercise training (ET) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are both recognized influences on insulin action, but the influence of HRT on responses to ET has not been examined. In order to determine if HRT use provided ... -
Impact of Muscle Material Properties on the Hypertrophic Response of Aged Women to Resistance Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-21)All of the reports that comprise this dissertation center around the overarching hypothesis that the attenuated response to resistance exercise observed in older adults is caused by an impaired ability of the muscle to ...
