Does Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgical Treatment Alter Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Mitral Regurgitation at Seven to Eleven Weeks Post-Operative?
(East Carolina University, 2009)
In the current study, we examined if exercise tolerance was going to be reduced in atrial fibrillation and mitral valve regurgitation patients post a minimally invasive surgery seven to eleven weeks when compared to ...
REGULATION OF LIPOLYSIS BY [BETA]-ADRENERGIC ACTIVATION AND EXERCISE IN OBESE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND CAUCASIAN WOMEN
(East Carolina University, 2012)
African-American women (AAW) are twice as likely to be obese as Caucasian women (CW); however, previous in-vitro studies have shown that AAW have higher densities of beta-adrenergic receptors (B-AR) in the subcutaneous ...
Gender Differences in Aerobic and Work Capacity During Plantar Flexion Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is lower in females compared to males during traditional whole body, systemic exercise. These differences in VO2max between men and women are still present even after correcting for ...
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 ...
Training and Endothelial Function In Upper and Lower Limbs
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) begins with damage to the endothelium, the inner lining of the blood vessels. Endothelial damage occurs as early as childhood and is associated with risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, ...
