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 ... -
THE EFFECT OF A MENTOR BASED EXERCISE INTERVENTION ON BODY MASS INDEX Z-SCORES, DUAL-ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY : TOTAL % BODY FAT LEVELS, DEPRESSION, AND FITNESS LEVELS IN OBESE ADOLESCENTS
(East Carolina University, 2012)Project MENTOR was a mentor-based exercise intervention for overweight children, ages 12-18 years. Undergraduate exercise physiology students (n=10) served as mentors to facilitate healthy lifestyle modifications through ... -
EFFECT OF A TELEPHONE-BASED INTERVENTION ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND COMPONENTS OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME IN ADOLESCENTS
(East Carolina University, 2013)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a two month telephone-based intervention in obese adolescents (BMI percentile [greater than or equal to] 95th percentile) on physical activity habits and motivation ... -
The Effect of Active Video Gaming on Physical Activity Levels of Students with Developmental Disabilities
(East Carolina University, 2014)The purpose was to examine differences in physical activity levels of children (N = 24) with developmental disabilities in traditional adapted physical education activities compared with Nintendo Wii Fit active video gaming ... -
Effect of Acute Exercise or Fasting on Mitochondrial Function and High Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance
(East Carolina University, 2009)A high-fat diet leads to an accumulation of lipid in skeletal muscle, and the development of both mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. Recently, our lab reported that lipid overload leads to elevated ...
