Task Specific Effects of Unilateral Eccentric and Concentric Exercise on Spinal Excitability of the Contralateral Homologous Plantar Flexors.
(East Carolina University, 2011)It is well established that resistance training increases the size and strength of the trained muscles. It is also known that unilateral muscle contractions can produce strength gains in the non-exercised contralateral ... -
Teager-Kaiser Operator improves the accuracy of EMG onset detection independent of signal-to-noise ratio
(East Carolina University, 2008)A temporal analysis of electromyographic (EMG) activity has widely been used for non-invasive study of muscle activation patterns. Such an analysis requires robust methods to accurately detect EMG onset. We examined whether ... -
The Effect of Exercise Training on Cardiovascular Mortality Risk
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)Clinicians use risk calculators in primary prevention to estimate CVD mortality. A potential limitation of available risk calculators are they generally estimate risk based on traditional risk factors, which is problematic ... -
The Effect of Quadriceps Strength Symmetry and Task Demands on Lower Extremity Biomechanics
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are a common injury in sports with short and long term consequences. Second ACL injury rates, defined as an injury to the contralateral or healthy limb, or a re-graft tear of the ... -
The Effect of Surface Compliance n Knee Joint Loads During Level and Decline Running
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Running is known for providing numerous health benefits that untimely leads to decreased cardiac mortality. Despite these health benefits, running can cause overuse injuries in up to 79% of runners with a high incidence ... -
THE EFFECTS OF A HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS’ PRESCRIPTION OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON CANCER SURVIVORS’ PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)Cancer survivors may experience adverse health effects (e.g., fatigue, anxiety, depression) even after cancer treatment is completed. Physical activity is one way cancer survivors may suppress or treat these side effects. ... -
The Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Training on Insulin Sensitivity in Primary Human Skeletal Muscle Cells
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-18)Insulin is a hormone that plays a role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, through the regulation of blood glucose levels³⁶. Insulin sensitivity is defined as how well the body responds to insulin, and when this is ...
