The Relationship between Gait Biomechanics and Body Mass Index
(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 ... -
The relationship between visual steadiness and force steadiness in young and old adults
(East Carolina University, 2013)Old adults exhibit a decrease in muscle force steadiness and visual capability compared to young adults. Many studies investigating force steadiness have used a visual target as the stimulus for modulating muscle force. ... -
Relationships Among Measures of Strength and Power and Health Outcomes in Youth
(East Carolina University, 2014)The interest in musculoskeletal fitness and its overall impact on health has been increasing in the last decade. The Institute of Medicine (2012) report called for the addition of several muscular fitness tests to national ... -
Relationships Among Team Cohesion and Performance, Anxiety, Retention, and Satisfaction
(East Carolina University, 2015)In addition to the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), Social Networking Analysis (SNA) has recently emerged as a promising research approach to measuring team cohesion. However, little to no research has simultaneously ... -
Relationships between Adipose Tissue and Cytokine Responses to a Randomized Controlled Exercise Training Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)Adipose-derived cytokines play a prominent role in mediating the metabolic consequences of obesity and excess body fat. Given this, we hypothesized that alterations in adipose tissue stores incurred with exercise training ... -
Relative fat oxidation is higher in children than adults
(East Carolina University, 2007-08-16)Background: Prepubescent children may oxidize fatty acids more readily than adults. Therefore, dietary fat needs would be higher for children compared with adults. The dietary fat recommendations are higher for children 4 ... -
Review of microdialysis in brain tumors, from concept to application: First Annual Carolyn Frye-Halloran Symposium
(East Carolina University, 2004-01)In individuals with brain tumors, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies of therapeutic agents have historically used analyses of drug concentrations in serum or cerebrospinal fluid, which unfortunately do not necessarily ... -
THE ROLE OF LONG-CHAIN ACYL-COENZYME A SYNTHETASE 1 (ACSL-1) IN LIPID METABOLISM IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE PRIMARY MYOTUBES.
(East Carolina University, 2011)Obesity is considered a major health threat to the U.S. due to being a strong risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. The prevalence and severity of obesity is even greater among some ... -
Science Middle-School Energizers Classroom-based Physical Activities The way teachers integrate physical activity with academic concepts
(2006)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 Promotion Laboratory at East ... -
SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY AND MOVEMENT TECHNOLOGY IN COLLEGE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CLASSES
(East Carolina University, 2014)The college-age population is not sufficiently physically active and physical activity declines markedly during the college years. Interventions in university and college settings are potential avenues for increasing ... -
A sex-specific relationship between capillary density and anaerobic threshold
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)Although both capillary density and peak oxygen consumption (VO2) improve with exercise training, it is difficult to find a relationship between these two measures. It has been suggested that peak VO2 may be more related ... -
Shearwave elastography : a prospective study on short term changes in UCL health of college baseball pitchers
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-31)The rate of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction surgery, or "Tommy John" surgery, has risen dramatically in baseball pitchers over the last decade. Throughout the baseball pitching motion, the UCL undergoes ... -
SHORT STEP KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS: A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO RUNNING POST ACLR
(East Carolina University, 2016-06-01)Introduction: Post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), individuals are 3-4x more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis (OA). Increased knee joint loads, and knee joint loading characteristics have been ... -
Short-term, high-fat diet accelerates disuse atrophy and protein degradation in a muscle-specific manner in mice
(2015-11-04)Background: A short-term high-fat diet impairs mitochondrial function and the ability of skeletal muscle to respond to growth stimuli, but it is unknown whether such a diet alters the ability to respond to atrophy signals. ... -
A single dose of metformin improves whole body insulin sensitivity and alters cellular redox state in skeletal muscle of Zucker fa/fa rats
(East Carolina University, 2010)Energy balance is considered a fundamental requirement of life forms from single cell organisms to higher mammals such as humans. Unfortunately, our species has also discovered the detrimental metabolic responses to excess ...
