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 ... -
Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)Effect of exercise intensity and volume on persistence of insulin sensitivity during training cessation. J Appl Physiol 106: 1079â 1085, 2009. First published February 5, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.91262.2008. The ... -
Effects of aerobic training with and without weight loss on insulin sensitivity and lipids
(2018-05-18)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise training with modest or greater weight loss (≥3%) or not (<3%) on insulin sensitivity, lipoprotein concentrations, and lipoprotein particle size ... -
Employee Satisfaction in Sport: Development of a Multi-Dimensional Model in Coaching
(East Carolina University, 2010)Despite the overwhelming emphasis on job satisfaction in sport management research, scholars continue to advocate for the distinctiveness and importance of evaluating both job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The purpose ... -
Exercise Training Amount and Intensity Effects on Metabolic Syndrome (From Studies of a Targeted Risk Reduction Intervention through Defined Exercise)
(East Carolina University, 2007-12-15)Although exercise improves individual risk factors of the metabolic syndrome (MS), there is little research on the effect of exercise on MS as a whole. The objective of this study was to determine how much exercise is ... -
Exploring sense of community among small-scale sport event volunteers
(2015-01-14)Research question: In response to claims that sport event research over emphasizes economic outcomes and mega-event contexts, this research sought to both assess a scale that measures sense of community among small-scale ... -
Factors Related to Objectively Measured Physical Activity in Preschool Children
(East Carolina University, 2009-05)This study examined correlates of objectively measured physical activity (PA) in a diverse sample of preschool children (age 3–5 years; n=331). Accelerometer min·hr−1 of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and ... -
The Football Factor: Shaping Community on Campus
(2011)Many American universities continue to invest in expensive intercollegiate football programs, and specifically cite the sport’s ability to foster a sense of community (SOC) as justification for the cost. This study sought ... -
How do low horizontal forces produce disproportionately high torques in human locomotion?
(East Carolina University, 2008)Although horizontal ground forces are only ~15% of vertical forces, they account for 47% and 33% of the metabolic cost in walking and running. To explain these disproportionately high metabolic costs we hypothesized that ... -
The impact of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on muscular strength, muscle soreness and creatine kinase.
(East Carolina University, 1994-12)The purpose of this study was to determine if there were any beneficial or detrimental effects regarding delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), serum creatine kinase (CK), and maximum concentric strength at 80% of 1-RMconc, ... -
The Impact of Formal versus Informal Sport: Mapping the Differences in Sense of Community
(2012-10-09)As the popularity of sport continues to grow, more community developers, planners, and leaders are recognizing the ability for sport to foster community. Similar to other community contexts, understanding the structure and ...
