THE INFLUENCE OF A PREPARATORY ARM SWING ON LOWER EXTREMITY KINEMATICS DURING A HORIZONTAL JUMP
(2021-08-05)
Horizontal jumping is a ballistic motion that includes horizonal propulsion, during which many athletes experience movement deficits like knee valgus and foot pronation that are known to be indicators of muscular weakness, ...
The Influence of Adjusting for Muscular Strength and Body Size on Sex Differences in Sympathetic Responses to Isometric Handgrip Exercise and Metaboreflex Isolation in Healthy Young Adults
(2022-08-03)
The exercise pressor reflex (EPR), composed of central command and the mechano- and metaboreflex, increases blood pressure (BP). Compared to males, healthy premenopausal females typically exhibit blunted increases in BP ...
The Influence of Arch Height on Propulsion and Landing Mechanics during Jumping and Hopping Tasks
(2017-08-15)
Arch height has served as a major indicator of foot function during locomotive tasks. Previous studies have identified that structural alterations in arch height, specifically low arch heights, can produce maladaptive ...
The Influence of Dispositional Mindfulness on State Anxiety and Motor Choking Under Pressure
(2016-07-26)
Performance pressure can promote anxiety. The accompanying increase in physiological arousal and reallocation of attentional resources can result in underperforming, known as choking under pressure. Research suggests the ...
The Influence of High Heel Shoes and Toe Walking on Gait Kinematics and Kinetics
(2018-04-24)
For generations, many women included high heel shoes as a part of their fashion wardrobe. Despite the claims of deleterious effects from wearing high heel, such as foot deformities, leg and back pain, and tendonitis, women ...
The influence of instructional climates on motor skill competence, physical activity behaviors, and psychosocial variables of 2nd grade students
(2012-06-05)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two instructional climates (mastery, performance) on: a) motor skill competence, b) physical activity during physical education and after-school, and c) psychosocial ...
Influence of Social Status on Fifth Grade Students' Group Work during Physical Education
(2018-07-03)
Education utilizes group work to increase social development, engagement, and learning outcomes of students in a less traditional way (Baines, Blatchford, & Kutnik, 2016). However, classroom research claims social status ...
Influence of Tactile Feedback on Trunk Coordination and Electromyography During Walking
(2013-11-19)
Footwear is a necessary component of modern life, serving wide-ranging purposes from fashion apparel to personal protective equipment. Despite what would appear as an otherwise obscure addition of clothing or equipment for ...
Influence of the Lumbopelvic-hip Complex on Female Softball Hitting
(2018-05-10)
Softball hitting is one of the most difficult skills in sport. Lumbopelvic-hip complex (LPHC) stability, as well as proper proximal to distal segmental sequencing, can directly influence hitting performance, because segment ...
Influence of the Lumbopelvic-hip Complex on Upper Extremity Kinetics in Baseball Pitching
(2019-07-24)
The ability of the upper extremity to function efficiently, depends on the strength and stability provided by the lower extremity and lumbopelvic-hip complex (LPHC), however the vast majority of overhead throwing literature ...
