Effect of 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training versus traditional endurance training on the blood lipid profile in humans
(2013-07-18)
INTRODUCTION: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays an important role in the prevention of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD), which is the leading cause of death in the United States. While the importance of ...
The Effect of Ankle Bracing on Lower Extremity Coordination, Coordination Variability, and Neuromuscular Activity in Individuals with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
(2016-07-22)
Ankle sprain injuries and ankle bracing act as constraints that can influence natural coordination pattern dynamics. Recently, researchers studying the progression of chronic ankle instability (CAI) have used measures of ...
Effect of Concurrent Sprint Interval and Resistance Training on Measures of Strength, Power, and Aerobic Performance
(2013-07-19)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to determine if sprint interval training (SIT) performed concurrently with resistance training resulted in adaptive interference, had no effect, or caused synergistic enhancement ...
The Effect of Motivational Interviewing and Clinician Centered Interviewing Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Core Outcomes
(2022-12-13)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally and affects almost 50% of the American population over the age of 20 years old. Following cardiac events patients are encouraged to participate ...
The Effect of Physical Activity on Science Competence and Attitude towards Science Content
(2011-11-29)

The Effect of Stride Foot Contact Orientation on Overhand Shot Kinematics, Kinetics, and Performance Outcomes in Male Lacrosse Players
(2018-06-05)
Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing team sports in the United States having increased from 253,931 players in 2001 to 826,033 players in 2016. Currently, there are no data regarding the kinematics and kinetics of the ...
The Effect of the Family Structure on Child Physical Activity within a Fitness Intervention: A Theoretical Approach
(2017-04-21)
Overweight or obese children are five times more likely to become obese adults, and obesity-related conditions (i.e. heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers) are now the leading causes of preventable ...
The Effect of Throwing Intensity on Overhand Throwing Mechanics
(2021-12-07)
Overhead throwing is a dynamic and demanding movement that places great amounts of stress on the throwing arm. Current consensus attributes most throwing-related injuries to repeated microtrauma of the musculoskeletal ...
Effect of Weight in the Non-Throwing Hand on the Baseball Pitching Motion
(2019-07-02)
Baseball is a sport which includes various sequential motions that utilize the entire kinetic chain. When considering the baseball pitching motion, the sports medicine community often refers to the kinetic chain as the ...
