Stiffness of Intrinsic Foot Structures in Diabetic Individuals and the Effect of Stiffness on Plantar Pressures During Gait
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-06)Plantar foot ulcers are a severe and common complication associated with diabetes that overwhelmingly lead to non-traumatic major amputations among diabetic individuals. There are several known factors that contribute to ... -
Stretching as pre-intervention can improve aged muscle's response to a resistance training intervention
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)Sarcopenia represents an important problem in older women affecting their physical function. Resistance training interventions in older adults have been widely investigated, and the effect they have in this population have ... -
STRIDE LENGTH MANIPULATION IN YOUNG AND OLD ADULTS DURING LEVEL WALKING
(East Carolina University, 2010)Physiological and neurological changes with healthy aging cause old adults to alter biomechanical gait strategies. Mechanical plasticity is an ambulatory strategy in which old adults rely on proximal musculature in ... -
Substrate Utilization During Submaximal Exercise in Children with a Severely Obese Mother and Response to Exercise Training
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)The aim of this study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a severely obese mother (BMI[greater than or equal to]35 kg/m2) to children with a lean, non-obese mother (BMI[less than or ... -
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 Exercise Intensity on Non-Exercise Physical Activity
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Cardiometabolic diseases are some of the leading causes of death in the United States with African Americans being at greater risk of mortality from these diseases. Physical inactivity has been shown to be a risk factor ... -
The Effects of Injury on the Neuromotor Control of the Shoulder
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Abstract: The shoulder is one of the most mobile and unstable joints in the body. When the function of the shoulder muscles is altered, and it is without the appropriate neuromotor control, the shoulder can become ... -
The Effects of Using Music to Decrease Screen Time in Preschool Aged Children
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)As children age, sedentary behavior increases, largely due to screen time. The goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using music and physical activity to decrease screen time among 2-5 year old children. ... -
The Effects of Weight Loss and Exercise on Quality of Life
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-04)PURPOSE: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is typically lower in overweight and obese populations compared to individuals of normal weight. Combined interventions of diet and aerobic exercise may improve HRQOL in this ... -
The Five-Factor Model of Personality and its Relation to Physical Activity Type
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Previous research has linked components of the Five-Factor model of personality to physical health and well-being. The strength of these relationships with specific exercise behaviors is, however, not yet known, which may ... -
THE IMPACT OF A CONCEPTUALLY BASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY COURSE ON COLLEGE STUDENTS’ MENTAL HEALTH
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Mental health issues are prevalent in the college population and may impact students' quality of life and wellbeing. Physical activity has been demonstrated to improve mental health in a variety of populations, including ... -
