C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND EXERCISE INTENSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICANS
Huff, Anna (East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Racial health disparities have been shown in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) with African Americans having a substantially greater risk compared to Caucasian Americans. One potential factor explaining racial differences in ... -
Effect of Exercise Training on Metabolic Syndrome z-score : the Association of C- reactive protein
Gates, Taylor (East Carolina University, 2015-06-25)PURPOSE: Previous studies have shown that metabolic syndrome z-score (MetSynZ) is improved with exercise training. Metabolic syndrome is based upon insulin resistance, such that it would be expected for insulin resistance ... -
Effects of aerobic exercise training on arterial stiffness and autonomic function in obese adults at-risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
McGee, Joshua E (East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), CVD mortality, and type 2 diabetes. Arterial stiffness and autonomic dysfunction are independent predictors of CVD and type 2 diabetes. Moreover, African ... -
FITNESS NON-RESPONSE FOLLOWING AEROBIC EXERCISE TRAINING IN OBESE AFRICAN AMERICANS
Hammond, Macon Travis (East Carolina University, 2020-01-07)Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. An inverse relationship between CRF, and CVD and all-cause mortality has been well-established. To ... -
Mediators of Change in Insulin Resistance with Weight-loss and Exercise Through the use of HOMA-IR
Hiller, Kayleigh M (East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)Purpose: It has been evidenced that the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have significantly increased in the United States over the past two decades. However, previous studies have demonstrated that a reduction ... -
The Effect of Exercise Training on Cardiovascular Mortality Risk
Haynes, Tori (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 Effects of Exercise Intensity on Non-Exercise Physical Activity
Stein, John (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 WEIGHT LOSS AND AEROBIC EXERCISE ON 10-YEAR AND LIFETIME ASCVD RISK CALCULATED USING THE POOLED COHORT EQUATIONS
Brown, Tyler (East Carolina University, 2022-04-29)BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) developed the ... -
The Effects of Weight Loss and Exercise on Quality of Life
Bartlett, Allison Nicole (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 Relationship Between Sitting Time and Arterial Stiffness in Obese African Americans
Barefoot, Savanna G. (East Carolina University, 2018-05-18)Purpose: Sitting time and arterial stiffness have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. However, the association between objectively determined sitting time and arterial stiffness ...
