LONG-LASTING EFFECTS OF MTBI ON OCULOMOTOR ABILITY AND NEUROMUSCULAR CONTROL
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-22)Concussions result in short-lived to long-lasting neurological function impairment and disturbances, typically undetectable by standard neuroimaging protocols, which can persist for several months post-trauma. Eye-tracking ... -

Managing Mental Health: Athlete Help-Seeking
(2021-12-15)Despite sport managers’ efforts to address mental health, many athletes have increased risks of anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, many athletes do not seek help. Using a mixed-method approach, this study’s purpose was ... -
Maternal Attitudes and Behaviors and Weight Concerns of Gymnasts
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Weight concerns are highly prevalent for adolescent female aesthetic sport athletes, particularly gymnasts, and these concerns can have detrimental effects on overall health and well-being. Though the cause of these weight ... -
Math 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 ... -
Measured Resting Energy Expenditure Using a Fixed Function Indirect Calorimeter in the Clinical Setting as a Predictor of Success with Weight Change in an Obese Pediatric Population
(East Carolina University, 2010)The American Dietetic Association (ADA) standard of care for obese adults utilizes indirect calorimetry for calculating caloric targets for weight loss (1). Even though rates appear to be leveling off (2), childhood obesity ... -
Mediators of Change in Insulin Resistance with Weight-loss and Exercise Through the use of HOMA-IR
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)Purpose: It has been evidenced that the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have significantly increased in the United States over the past two decades. However, previous studies have demonstrated that a reduction ... -
Metabolic Flexibility in Non-Obese Individuals
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Human skeletal muscle cells have been used as a tool to study and understand skeletal muscle metabolism due to their retention in characteristics from their donor. Metabolic flexibility is the ability to respond or adapt ... -
Metabolic Inflexibility in Response to Lipid Oversupply with Obesity: Epigenetic Modifications Play a Role
(East Carolina University, 2013)The ability to adjust substrate oxidation according to nutrient availability has been termed `metabolic flexibility' and is a critical factor in overall metabolic health. In respect to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) metabolic ... -
Metabolic Inflexibility in Skeletal Muscle With Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2009)The skeletal muscle of obese individuals has a reduced capacity to oxidize lipids. The hypothesis to be tested in this dissertation is that the ability to regulate lipid oxidation in response to lipid exposure is impaired ... -
Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity In Human Skeletal Muscle: Association with Plasma Lactate Concentration
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-11)ABSTRACT Background: Metabolic disease is a growing concern for public health. Obesity and Type II Diabetes are an epidemic and a phenotype for insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. A reduced mitochondrial function ...
