5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase and Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 Response to Resistance Exercise in Young Versus Old Men and Women
(East Carolina University, 2009)
It has been shown that skeletal muscle 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and/or activity is more greatly elevated in response to resistance exercise or loading in aged rats, and that eukaryotic elongation ...
More Than Just Letting Them Play: Parental Influence on Women's Lifetime Sport Involvement
(East Carolina University, 2008)
This qualitative study uses expectancy-value and life course theories (Giele & Elder, 1998) to examine both the proximal and distal impact of early family socialization on enduring female participation in sport. Seventeen ...
Physical activity across the curriculum: year one process evaluation results
(East Carolina University, 2008-07-07)
Background: Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC) is a 3-year elementary school-based intervention to determine if increased amounts of moderate intensity physical activity performed in the classroom will diminish ...
A sex-specific relationship between capillary density and anaerobic threshold
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)
Although both capillary density and peak oxygen consumption (VO2) improve with exercise training, it is difficult to find a relationship between these two measures. It has been suggested that peak VO2 may be more related ...
Relative fat oxidation is higher in children than adults
(East Carolina University, 2007-08-16)
Background: Prepubescent children may oxidize fatty acids more readily than adults. Therefore, dietary fat needs would be higher for children compared with adults. The dietary fat recommendations are higher for children 4 ...
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 ...
Modulation of IKKβ with AMPK Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2008-11)
Activation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 is necessary for proper transduction of the insulin signal. IRS-1 serine312(human)/307(rodent) phosphorylation, however, results in disruption of this signal and subsequent ...
Effects of Parental Obesity on Fat Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise in Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)
The aim of the present study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a morbidly obese parent - (COP) (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40 kg/m²) to children with relatively lean parents - ...
Relationships between Adipose Tissue and Cytokine Responses to a Randomized Controlled Exercise Training Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)
Adipose-derived cytokines play a prominent role in mediating the metabolic consequences of obesity and excess body fat. Given this, we hypothesized that alterations in adipose tissue stores incurred with exercise training ...
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 ...
