The Effects of Cervical Spine Position and Spinal Manipulation on Shoulder Rotation Strength
(2021-07-22)
Shoulder rotation strength is included as part of an orthopedic examination for clinicians treating patients presenting with shoulder pathology. However, for populations prone to shoulder injury, such as overhead athletes ...
The Effects of Class Size in Elementary Physical Education: An Examination of Student Activity Levels, Class Management Time, and Teacher Attitudes
(2009-05-11)
Through the years, research has been conducted on the effects of class size on classroom instruction, with most states passing legislation to control the size of elementary classroom student-teacher ratios. However, little ...
The effects of diet, physical activity, psychosocial variables, and home environment on weight status of children who reside in a low-income rural area
(2012-12-05)
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of diet, physical activity, psychosocial variables, and environment on the weight status of children who reside in a low-income rural area. One hundred fifty ...
The Effects of Exercise on LINE-1 Regulation
(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
(2021-04-29)
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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(2022-05-02)
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
(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
(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
(2023-07-03)
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. ...
