Increased Secretion and Expression of Myostatin in Skeletal Muscle From Extremely Obese Women
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)OBJECTIVE- Obesity is associated with endocrine abnormalities that predict the progression of insulin resistance to type 2 diabetes. Because skeletal muscle has been shown to secrete proteins that could be used as biomarkers, ... -
The Influence of BMI and Self-Efficacy Levels on the Accuracy in Self-Reported Physical Activity Recall
(East Carolina University, 2011)The purpose of this study was to compare self-reported and objectively measured physical activity levels among college students with different body mass index (BMI) classifications (normal weight and overweight/obese), in ... -
The Influence of Energy Expenditure on Mitochondrial Functions, Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance under Metabolic Oversupply Conditions
(East Carolina University, 2011)Mitochondrial respiratory capacity and oxidative stress have been implicated in the development of insulin resistance (IR) and type II diabetes. A causative role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the etiology of ... -
Influence of Exercise Mode on Maternal, Fetal, and Neonatal Health Outcomes : The ENHANCED by Mom Project
(East Carolina University, 2014)The extent of the health benefits of exercise during pregnancy is just beginning to be explored and developed. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic and circuit training throughout pregnancy on ... -
INFLUENCE OF MATERNAL EXERCISE TYPE ON MATERNAL AND INFANT METABOLIC HEALTH
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Purpose: Current research supports that chronic exercise in the non-pregnant population promotes metabolic adaptations at rest (reduction in glucose, lactate, lipids), but little is known of the maternal metabolic adaptations ... -
The Influence of Pre-Pregnancy Activity Level on Birth Weight
(2015)Current research suggests that healthy pregnant women can follow the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) exercise recommendations for the general population. Studies demonstrate that exercise during pregnancy improves ... -
Influence of Pre-pregnancy and During Pregnancy Exercise On Infant Heart Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-27)Maternal exercise during pregnancy is quickly becoming a new norm that has been shown to have benefits for fetal and infant development. Most studies examining the influence of exercise during pregnancy on infant outcomes ... -
Influence of Resistance Exercises on Infant Body Fat Composition in Overweight/Obese Women
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-22)Influence of Resistance Exercises on Infant Body Fat Composition in Overweight/Obese Women By Jaclyn Ruemmler May, 2018 Director of Thesis: Dr. Linda May Major Department: Kinesiology PURPOSE: Research has conveyed ... -
Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights
(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 ... -
Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension
(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 ... -
The Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) trial: design and rationale
(East Carolina University, 2009-07-28)Background: Obesity is the most modifiable risk factor, and dietary induced weight loss potentially the best nonpharmacologic intervention to prevent or to slow osteoarthritis (OA) disease progression. We are currently ... -
INTERLEUKIN-6 IN RESPONSE TO HIGH INTENSITY AND MODERATE INTENSITY EXERCISE TRAINING IN AFRICAN AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Skeletal muscle has been identified as an endocrine organ that releases myokines with contraction. These myokines have been defined as cytokines and peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by muscle fibers that ...
