(East Carolina University, 2018-05-22)Influence of Resistance Exercises on Infant Body Fat Composition in Overweight/Obese Women By Jaclyn Ruemmler May, 2018 Director of Thesis: Dr. Linda May Major Department: Kinesiology PURPOSE: Research has conveyed ... -
Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights
(East Carolina University, 2010)Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year amounting to billions of dollars being spent on the ACL annually. While the quadriceps muscle produces an anterior shear force on the tibia that ... -
Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension
(East Carolina University, 2012)When a muscle produces voluntary force, muscles on the opposite side of the joint, the antagonists, are also activated. While coactivation of the knee flexors during knee extension is presumed to increase joint stability ... -
The Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) trial: design and rationale
(East Carolina University, 2009-07-28)Background: Obesity is the most modifiable risk factor, and dietary induced weight loss potentially the best nonpharmacologic intervention to prevent or to slow osteoarthritis (OA) disease progression. We are currently ... -
INTERLEUKIN-6 IN RESPONSE TO HIGH INTENSITY AND MODERATE INTENSITY EXERCISE TRAINING IN AFRICAN AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Skeletal muscle has been identified as an endocrine organ that releases myokines with contraction. These myokines have been defined as cytokines and peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by muscle fibers that ... -
INTERVENTION TO REDUCE SEDENTARY TIME AND IMPROVE CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS AMONG SEDENTARY EMPLOYEES
(East Carolina University, 2012)Background: More than half of the US adult population is sedentary and this type of behavior is known to increase an individual's risk for overweight/obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes ... -
Intramuscular Lipid Metabolism, Insulin Action and Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2009-01)With the increasing prevalence of obesity, research has focused on the molecular mechanism(s) linking obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Metabolic alterations within muscle, such as changes in the cellular ... -
Intramuscular lipid oxidation and obesity
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)There is an accumulating amount of evidence indicating that lipid oxidation is depressed in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. Decrements in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) have been reported with obesity in models ranging ... -
Introducing portable pedal machines inside a university library to reduce sedentary behavior
(East Carolina University, 2013)Background: Sedentary behavior is a health risk factor independent of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Sedentary behavior takes place frequently in libraries. Few sedentary behavior interventions ... -
Kinetic and Kinematic Analysis of the Phases of Kicking during Accurate and Maximal Effort Conditions in Female Soccer Players
(East Carolina University, 2019-11-26)Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world and the substantial increase in participation over the last decade adds significance to understanding kicking mechanics as kicking is a key skill during a game. The ... -
Knee Joint Forces in Relation to Ground Surface Stiffness during Running
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-02)Running shoes and surfaces have been developed to help enhance running efficiency and to reduce ground impacts by altering the total surface stiffness. However, to maintain running mechanics, an individual will increase ... -
Lactate as a Predictor for Factors of Metabolic Syndrome in Males and Females with Overweight
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-09)Background: The prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased by more than 10% over the last twenty years. Risks of obesity include the development of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) with concomitant development of conditions ... -
