Neurobehavioral Strategies of Skill Acquisition in Left and Right Hand Dominant Individuals
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The brain consists of vast networks of connected pathways communicating through synchronized electrochemical activity propagated along fiber tracts. The current understanding is that the brain has a modular organization ...
Characterization of the glucose transporters responsible for mechanical overloadstimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Resistance exercise training is a recommended form of physical activity for people with type 2 diabetes due to its ability to increase skeletal muscle glucose uptake. Understanding how resistance training controls muscle ...
Enhanced Sensorimotor Kinematics of the Baseball Swing in Elite Batters During a Known Pitch Type
(East Carolina University, 2019-12-10)
The interceptive task of hitting a baseball requires temporal and spatial precision through effective pitch tracking strategies and swing mechanics to achieve success. Overall, these factors dictate the quality of the ...
Sport as medicine: How F3 is building healthier men and communities
(2019-02)
Given sport has been largely absent from U.S. public health policies and discourse, the author suggests ways that sport can be better managed to promote health. Using a critical perspective and grounded theory approach, ...
