Outcomes Associated with Teacher-Guided Indoor Preschool Physical Activity Interventions
(2022-03-08)
In the United States, preschool-aged children are not meeting age specific physical activity recommendations (1-3, 42, 82, 83) and spending a large portion of their days sedentary (4, 27). Minority children living in ...
An investigation of the mitochondria as a potential source of racial differences in reactive oxygen species production and cellular respiration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy adults
(2022-04-11)
Background: Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) adults exhibit a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to Non-Hispanic White (NHW) adults. Vascular oxidative stress may be one contributing factor to these racial ...
Effects of Shear Stress on Oxidized LDL Modulation of miRNA Expression in African American and Caucasian Endothelial Cell Lines
(2022-05-05)
Endothelial dysfunction is a leading cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play crucial roles in the development and progression of ...
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 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 ...
What moves you? The Role of Enhanced Expectancies and Reward Processing in Motor Performance and Learning
(2022-06-21)
This dissertation describes a research program focused on dissecting the contributions of motivation and rewards to motor skill acquisition and learning. Two prominent theories served as a framework for this work: the ...
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, ...
Molecular predictors of the hypertrophy response to resistance training in young untrained female adults
(2022-07-13)
We determined if the myofibrillar protein synthetic (MyoPS) response to a naïve resistance exercise (RE) bout, or chronic changes in satellite cell number and muscle ribosome content, varied in females that classified as ...
The Effects of Cardiovascular Exercise on eSport Performance
(2022-07-20)
Video games have evolved from a juvenile recreational activity into an avenue for organized competition known as electronic sports (eSports). Cognitive research identifies visual attention, memory, and task-switching as ...
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 ...
