Limb loss is more common than many people realize. There are over two million people with amputated limbs in the United States and the numbers are expected to double in 2050. Despite the advances in prosthetic device ...
The Quantification of the Concept of Engagement in Physical Education
(2018-06-27)
The purpose of the first study was to develop and validate a new self-report survey used to determine the level of agentic, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement of eighth and ninth grade boys and girls in physical ...
Red or Blue: Does the choice of hue influence the way you learn the things you do? A mechanistic account of the effects of incidental choice on motor learning.
(2016-07-28)
The enhancement of motor learning is important for a myriad of activities. One way to enhance motor learning is to increase the autonomy of the learner. This can be done in several ways but typically centers around the ...
The Regulation of Release of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV from Healthy and Diabetic Skeletal Muscle
(2017-07-25)
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a multifaceted enzyme that can be shed from skeletal muscle membrane via matrixmetalloproteinases (MMPs). Tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP) within the extracellular matrix (ECM) modulate ...
The relationship between energy flow, mechanics, and performance in softball hitting
(2022-06-14)
Energy flow through the kinetic chain is one of the most foundational concepts in softball hitting literature. However, to the author’s knowledge, previous literature has yet to examine the relationships between mechanics ...
The Relationship between Learning Style and Level of Sport Performance in Division II Collegiate Athletics
(2013-12-03)
What is the difference between good and great in an athlete? How can a coach teach players to be great? How do athletes learn? These are questions asked every day in the sports world as coaches seek to train their athletes ...
Relationships Between Physical and Mental Health in Rural, Low-Income Adolescents
(2020-06-25)
Studies have consistently reported that environment (i.e., rural vs. urban) and socioeconomic status (SES) are moderating factors of physical health (i.e., obesity and/or physical activity) and mental health (i.e., stress, ...
The Role of Hardiness in First Year AROTC and University Students: Examining Changes and Related Performance.
(2022-07-13)
The Big Five has dominated personality-performance literature, but within the overarching Five Factor Theory characteristic adaptations can be more contextually specific and better predictors of performance. Hardiness, ...
The Role of Stability and Metabolic Cost in Gait Adaptation
(2023-07-28)
