POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE MUSCLE WORK OF NON-LEVEL WALKING IN LEAN AND OBESE ADULTS.
(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 ... -
Potential Mechanisms for Amelioration of Type 2 Diabetes Following Bariatric Surgery
(East Carolina University, 2011)Severe obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) are worldwide health concerns reaching epidemic proportions. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been shown to elicit a rapid and durable improvement and/or remission of T2DM in ... -
Prediction of Athletic Injury with a Functional Movement Screen
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Functional Movement Screen[superscript]TM (FMS) is a screening tool designed to quantify movement quality. The ability of the FMS to identify individuals likely to be injured has been examined in athletic and military ... -
Progressive Loads in the Tibia During Exercise Related Activity
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Introduction: Bone stress injuries represent ~10% of injuries associated with sports and exercise and typically result in prolonged periods of recovery, costly diagnostic medical imaging, and exercise participation attrition. ... -
Proximal vs. Distal Fascicle Behavior within the Biceps Femoris Long Head at Different Muscle Activation Levels
(East Carolina University, 2013)Hamstring strains have been shown to occur more often in the long head of the biceps femoris (BFLH) than the semitendinosus and semimembranosus, with most injuries occurring in the proximal half of the BFLH. Muscle modeling ... -
Racial Differences in Cardiorespiratory Fitness between Blacks and Whites: A Meta-Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)PURPOSE: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. Some researchers have speculated that Blacks have lower levels of CRF when compared ... -
Reducing Maladaptive Sensory Neuronal Growth to Target Below-Level Pain Following Spinal Cord Injury
(2015-04-28)Chronic neuropathic pain is a common, debilitating consequence of spinal cord injury (SCI). Up to 94% of the SCI population suffers from SCI pain, with over half reporting it as their worst medical problem. Modern day ... -
Refereeing as a Post-Athletic Career Option
(2022)Athletes may be especially primed to become referees, yet we do not know what former athletes think about this career choice. To address the worldwide referee shortage, it is important to better understand athletes’ ... -
The Region Specific Influence of Estradiol on In-Vivo Lipolysis in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Overweight-to-Moderately-Obese Premenopausal Women
(East Carolina University, 2012)Premenopausal women demonstrate preferential accumulation of adiposity in the gynoid region, a distribution which shifts towards the abdominal region after the menopausal transition. Although estrogen is implicated as a ... -
Regulation of GLUT4 expression in denervated skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 2009-03)Denervation by sciatic nerve resection causes decreased muscle glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression, but little is known about the signaling events that cause this decrease. Experiments were designed to test the ... -
REGULATION OF LIPOLYSIS BY [BETA]-ADRENERGIC ACTIVATION AND EXERCISE IN OBESE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND CAUCASIAN WOMEN
(East Carolina University, 2012)African-American women (AAW) are twice as likely to be obese as Caucasian women (CW); however, previous in-vitro studies have shown that AAW have higher densities of beta-adrenergic receptors (B-AR) in the subcutaneous ... -
Regulation of Lipolysis By Perilipin : influence of Obesity and Exercise Training
(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. ... -
Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport and Glucose Metabolism by Exercise Training
(2019-10-12)Aerobic exercise training and resistance exercise training are both well-known for their ability to improve human health; especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, there are critical differences between these ... -
Relational Efficacy & Social Support in Athletics
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-05)Social support is critical to athletes' mental health. Previous research has demonstrated that social support reduces burnout in collegiate student athletes while increasing overall well- being (Defreese & Smith, 2014). ...
