Influence of Various Thong Style Flip-flops on Gait Kinematics and Lower Leg Electromyography
(2009-09-09)
Flip-flops are a common footwear choice for the masses. This influx of flip-flop usage is in despite of the plethora of anecdotal evidence and consensus among the health field that flip-flops are not conducive to the ...
Cardiovascular autonomic modulation following maximal exercise: Its relationship to race, VO2max, and resting heart rate variability
(2009-04-13)
The purpose of this dissertation was to provide a better understanding of post maximal exercise cardiovascular autonomic function and its relationship to race, VO2max and resting heart rate variability. Heart rate variability ...
Adipokine Responses to Exercise Repeated on Successive Days in Men with Metabolic Syndrome
(2010-07-21)
Leptin and adiponectin are two insulin-sensitizing adipokines that may be influenced transiently by exercise and contribute to the post-exercise improvement in insulin-mediated glucose uptake. The influence of exercise on ...
Kinematic Analysis of the Collected and Extended Jog and Lope of the Stock Breed Western Pleasure Horse
(2010-12-07)
Scientific research concerning stock breed western pleasure horses is limited. Therefore the purposes of this investigation were to determine if stock
breed western pleasure horses 1) alter stride length independently of ...
Acute Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Central and Peripheral Hemodynamics and Oxygen Consumption in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
(2011-08-08)
A substantial body of evidence suggests spinal cord injury (SCI) increases cardiovascular disease and mortality risk in aging individuals with SCI. Based on retrospective assessments, excess mortality after SCI has been ...
Near infrared spectroscopy to assess the onset of increased metabolism and muscle tissue oxygenation during muscle contractions
(2012-11-15)
The aims of the present study were to 1) Determine whether there is a time delay (TD) in VO2 at the onset of contractions by comparing the NIRS responses during blood perfusion versus hemoglobin (Hb)-free buffer perfusion; ...
The Impact of Technology Integration on Student-Designed Games
(2013-04-09)
Student-designed games (SDG) is the process in which students create, organize, practice and refine their own games within certain limits established by the teacher (Hastie, 2010). Recent research has proposed different ...
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 ...
Endogenous Opioids and Exercise Induced Cardioprotection
(2012-05-04)
Acute exercise exposure dramatically decreases tissue injury and cellular death that results during the ischemia–reperfusion (IR) events of myocardial infarction, though the mechanisms aren’t fully understood. Existing ...
V•O2 On-Kinetics in Skeletal Muscle in Normoxia and Hypoxia with Matched Convective O2 Delivery
(2012-05-03)
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate O2 uptake (V•O2) on-kinetics under hypoxic conditions while holding convective O2 delivery constant in isolated canine muscles in situ. Canine gastrocnemius muscles (n=7) ...
