The Effects of Exercise on LINE-1 Regulation 

Romero, Matthew (2019-07-23)
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA and constitute approximately half of the human genome. LINE-1 (L1) is the only active autonomous TE in the mammalian genome and has been implicated, either directly or indirectly, ...

The Effects of Fitness Experts and Exercise Facilities on Physical Fitness in the Officer Candidate School Population 

Parks, Aaron (2021-04-29)  ETD File Embargoed
Introduction: The Army recently overhauled its approach to physical fitness. A newly introduced training methodology called Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) seeks to integrate novelties such as the use of certified fitness ...

Effects of high-volume and high-intensity resistance training on skeletal muscle ultrastructure 

Vann, Christopher (2020-06-19)
Background: Recently there has been enthusiasm surrounding the differential training adaptations that result from higher-load (HL) versus higher-volume (HV) resistance training. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ...

The Effects of Implicit Learning, Practicing with the Expectation of Teaching, and Anxiety Training on Motor Performance Under Psychological Pressure 

Cabral, Daniel (2022-12-05)
This dissertation describes a research program focused on investigating learning strategies that could prevent individuals from showing inferior motor performance when performing under psychological pressure, a phenomenon ...

The Effects of Increased Workload on Softball Pitching Mechanics, Range of Motion, and Strength 

Downs Talmage, Jessica (2021-06-28)
Softball pitching is a dynamic motion that requires the entire kinetic chain and has been documented to result in whole body muscular fatigue. In addition to muscular fatigue, increased pain has been documented after a ...

The Effects of Leucine or Different Protein Supplements on Muscle Hypertrophy after 12 Weeks of Resistance Training in Untrained Men 

Mobley, Christopher Brooks (2017-10-24)
Purpose: We sought to determine the effects of L-leucine (LEU) or different protein supplements standardized to LEU (~3.0 g/serving) on changes in body composition, strength, and histological attributes in skeletal muscle ...

Effects of long-term voluntary exercise and aging in rats on markers of Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (L1) activity in skeletal muscle, liver, and brain tissue 

Osburn, Shelby (2022-05-02)  ETD File Embargoed
Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active mammalian TE. L1 is an autonomous retrotransposon that is able to “copy and paste” itself, increasing its presence as it does so and leading to genomic ...

The Effects of Low-Tempo and High-Tempo Zumba® in Individuals with Developmental Disabilities 

Munn, Emily (2022-07-28)
Adults with developmental disabilities (DD) exhibit deficits in aerobic capacity, functional mobility, balance, healthy body composition, and executive functioning across development. Different exercise interventions have ...

The effects of practicing a motor skill with the expectation of teaching it: Benefits to skill learning, potential underlying mechanisms, and effects on skill performance under psychological pressure 

Daou, Marcos (2018-06-07)
This dissertation describes a program of research (consisted of five studies) that focused on investigating a practical technique intended to enhance individuals’ motor learning. Specifically, I examined whether learners ...

The effects of resistance training on skeletal muscle senescent cell and denervation markers in older adults 

Ruple, Bradley A (2023-07-03)  ETD File Embargoed
Emerging mechanisms associated with skeletal muscle aging include the increased presence of denervated myofibers and senescent cells. However, sparse research exists regarding how resistance training affects these outcomes. ...

Effects of Shear Stress on Oxidized LDL Modulation of miRNA Expression in African American and Caucasian Endothelial Cell Lines 

Rumbley, Melissa (2022-05-05)  ETD File Embargoed
Endothelial dysfunction is a leading cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play crucial roles in the development and progression of ...

The effects of socioeconomic factors on trajectories of language and motor development in infants 

Dyke, Davis (2023-05-08)
Multiple domains develop simultaneously and interact throughout infancy and early childhood. Although relationships between motor and language skills have been examined cross-sectionally during the first three years of ...

Effects of The Hexosamine Biosynthesis Pathway in Endothelial Function 

Adeyemo, Adelola (2019-12-09)  ETD File Embargoed
Diabetes is characterized by high circulating plasma glucose and insulin resistance. Many diabetics have additional comorbidities, a major one being hypertension. Endothelial dysfunction links diabetes and hypertension. ...

Effects of visual supports on the performance of the Test of Gross Motor Development (Second Edition) by children with autism spectrum disorder
