Construct validity of a continuous metabolic syndrome score in children
(East Carolina University, 2010-01-28)Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the construct validity of a continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS) in children. The secondary purpose was to identify a cutpoint value(s) for an adverse cMetS ... -
Control of Walking Speed in Young and Old Adults
(East Carolina University, 2012)Walking is a basic form of locomotion and walking velocity is a good predictor of human health, with faster velocities indicating better health. While faster walking velocities have been attributed to overall increases ... -
Deletion of LPCAT3 Promotes Enhanced Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)Aberrant lipid metabolism has been linked to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The exact identity of the lipid species that promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance among the human population remains unclear. In this ... -
Deletion of the Protein Kinase A/Protein Kinase G Target SMTNL1 Promotes an Exercise-adapted Phenotype in Vascular Smooth Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2008-04-25)In vivo protein kinases A and G (PKA and PKG) coordinately phosphorylate a broad range of substrates to mediate their various physiological effects. The functions of many of these substrates have yet to be defined genetically. ... -
Development and Application of a Custom Algorithm to Assess Hamstring Muscle Stiffness
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are the most diagnosed musculoskeletal injury among elite international track [and] field athletes. HSIs appear to occur most often during terminal swing phase of sprinting, placing track ... -
Development of Walk Tests to Estimate Aerobic Fitness in 10 to 13 Year-Old Children
(East Carolina University, 2013)Aerobic fitness is an important indicator of health for children. Estimation of aerobic fitness (VO₂[subscript]max) from field-based tests is an essential aspect of youth fitness tests. Field tests can also provide researchers ... -
Dietary carbohydrate intake and high sensitivity C reactive protein in at-risk women and men
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)Background— The quality and quantity of dietary carbohydrate intake, measured as dietary glycemic load (GL), is associated with a number of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and, in healthy young women, is related ... -
Does AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Negatively Mediate Aged Fast-Twitch Skeletal Muscle Mass?
(East Carolina University, 2008-10)The activity of 5'-adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase, a negative regulator of cell size, is up-regulated with age in resting and overloaded fast-twitch skeletal muscle but not slowtwitch muscle. Here, we ... -
Does Dog Ownership Affect the Owners' Quality of Motivation to Engage in Physical Activity?
(East Carolina University, 2012)Using the framework of the self-determination theory (SDT), the current study compared men and women dog owners' and non-dog owners' a) physical activity levels, b) perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness during ... -
Does Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgical Treatment Alter Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Mitral Regurgitation at Seven to Eleven Weeks Post-Operative?
(East Carolina University, 2009)In the current study, we examined if exercise tolerance was going to be reduced in atrial fibrillation and mitral valve regurgitation patients post a minimally invasive surgery seven to eleven weeks when compared to ... -
Early Metabolic Differences in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model and Exercise Intervention Treatment
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-22)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we characterized and examined the early metabolic changes of the triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease ...
