How do we accelerate while running?
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Running biomechanics are well established in terms of lower extremity joint kinetics as is the direct relationship between these variables and running speed. Many studies have investigated the differences in these variables ...
Implicit versus explicit self-defense instruction on self-efficacy, affect, and subjective well-being
(East Carolina University, 2014)
A rising concern that has been associated as a public health issue is violence and violent crimes. In an effort to counter issues associated with violence and violent crimes, communities and individuals will seek some ...
Ability of the Functional Movement Screen™ to Predict Injuries and Performance in Collegiate Track and Field Athletes
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool designed to identify limitations and compensatory movement patterns of individuals in order to help improve performance and decrease injuries. While research has demonstrated ...
Association Between Objectively Measured Physical Activity And Depression Symptoms
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Purpose: Previous studies examining the relationship between depression and physical activity have been epidemiological in nature and have measured physical activity subjectively. The purpose of the present study is to ...
NOVEL MECHANISMS GOVERNING SKELETAL MUSCLE MITOCHONDRIAL BIOENERGETICS : OXPHOS EFFICIENCY AND cAMP/PKA SIGNALING
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Understanding the regulation of cellular metabolism is paramount to treating the growing prevalence of metabolic disease worldwide. In cellular metabolism, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) plays a key role ...
Effects of a before school physical activity program on physical activity, musculoskeletal fitness, and cognitive function
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Regular physical activity is important for everybody, but may be especially beneficial for children. Despite this, most children in the United States do not meet physical activity recommendations. Schools are a prime ...
The Relationship between Gait Biomechanics and Body Mass Index
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Walking gait is one of the basic components of human movements. With the rising obesity epidemic and implied health complications, it is pertinent to examine the relationship between body mass index and the joint torques ...
Does Dog Ownership Affect the Owners' Quality of Motivation to Engage in Physical Activity?
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Using the framework of the self-determination theory (SDT), the current study compared men and women dog owners' and non-dog owners' a) physical activity levels, b) perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness during ...

VARIABILITY IN POPLITEAL ARTERY BLOOD FLOW : EFFECT OF EXERCISE TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is regulated through changes in cardiac output (Q) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), where Q = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV). Healthy heart rhythms have inherent variability and a ...
