The Effects of Using Music to Decrease Screen Time in Preschool Aged Children
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
As children age, sedentary behavior increases, largely due to screen time. The goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using music and physical activity to decrease screen time among 2-5 year old children. ...
Field Measure to Estimate Vertical and Leg Stiffness
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a common injury in male athletes, especially those frequently involved in sports that require hopping. Athletes with Achilles tendinopathy jump with reduced vertical and leg stiffness. ...
The Kinematic and Kinetic Changes During Distracted Landing and Focused Landing Tasks in College-Aged, Female Soccer Players
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, and as it continues to grow in the female population there is a significant increase in leg injury risk. There are various biomechanical risk factors associated with ...
Utilizing Ultrasound Elastography to Examine the Material Properties of the Interosseous Membrane
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)
The involvement of the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) in a combination of high and low impact activities can lead to a variety of injuries. Previous studies done on cadavers have revealed that the distal interosseous ...
Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity In Human Skeletal Muscle: Association with Plasma Lactate Concentration
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-11)
ABSTRACT Background: Metabolic disease is a growing concern for public health. Obesity and Type II Diabetes are an epidemic and a phenotype for insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. A reduced mitochondrial function ...
Shearwave elastography : a prospective study on short term changes in UCL health of college baseball pitchers
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-31)
The rate of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction surgery, or "Tommy John" surgery, has risen dramatically in baseball pitchers over the last decade. Throughout the baseball pitching motion, the UCL undergoes ...
AMP Deaminase 3 knockout mice and loss of mitochondrial proteins and enzyme activity during denervation atrophy
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)
Muscle atrophy leads to decrements in muscle function, partly attributable to decreased mitochondrial content. One controller of mitochondrial content is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which when bound by AMP activates ...
Adaptations of the Hypothalamic Arcuate Nucleus in Response to Exercise and Hunger
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-02)
The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus serves as a critical node for regulation of mammalian energy balance with the ability to sense the status of many organ systems and exert control over effector arms that potently ...
Progressive Loads in the Tibia During Exercise Related Activity
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Introduction: Bone stress injuries represent ~10% of injuries associated with sports and exercise and typically result in prolonged periods of recovery, costly diagnostic medical imaging, and exercise participation attrition. ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LACTATE, MITOCHONDRIA, AND PEROXISOMES IN HUMAN SKELETAL MUSCLE
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Human metabolism is a complex mechanism involving many interdependent parts. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship or lack thereof between lactate, mitochondria, and peroxisomes in human skeletal muscle. ...
