Lantis, David (2017-08)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common progressive neurological diseases in young adults and is characterized by neurologic disruption within the central nervous system. Fatigue has been reported as one of the ... -
Bison Hides and Biomechanics: Experimental Bioarchaeology of Wichita Scraper Technologies
Walters, Michael (2017-05)This study utilizes methodologies and theories from biological anthropology, archaeology, and kinesiology to conduct an experiment to test the effects of a change in Wichita scraping technologies during the Pre- and ... -
Comparison of Bone, Muscle, and Fat Characteristics Between Combined Oral Contraceptive Users and Non-Users
Nguyen, Hoang Van (2019-08-01)Combined oral contraceptives (COC) are widely used as a form of birth control or to reduce negative symptoms associated with menstruation. However, many women discontinue use or fail to initiate use of COC because of the ... -
A Cross Validation of the Effects of Leg Size, Limb Composition, and Blood Pressure on Arterial Occlusion in Women Aged 20 to 30 Years
Cavazos, Charity (2016-05-13)Blood flow restriction (BFR) on the upper and lower limbs, in combination with resistance training, has been found to increase muscle strength and muscle mass. Previous research has used either arbitrary pressures or a ... -
Cross-education of the repeated bout effect after unilateral eccentric exercise with and without mirror visual feedback
Yang, Richard (2023-08-04)Previous research has demonstrated evidence of the cross education of the repeated bout effect (CL-RBE) to the untrained contralateral limb, however, it has been shown to be weaker in magnitude when compared to the ipsilateral ... -
Decision aids in patient-physician communication for supporting shared decision making and patient satisfaction: an experimental study
Salous, Bushra (2022-08-04)The aim of this study was to explore the effect of the use and style of decision aids on shared decision making and patient satisfaction in patient-physician communication in the context of Generalized Anxiety Disorder ... -
Determinants of Self-Reported Fatigue with Aging
Bertholf, Rebecca (2021-08-05)Purpose: To determine factors affecting the presence of self-reported fatigue in middle-aged and older individuals. Some of the factors investigated include age, sex, cortisol levels, health status, education level, stress, ... -
Developing and Testing an Ecologically Valid Fitness Test in Suburban SWAT Operators
Rollberg, Brian (2017-12-15)Developing and Testing an Ecologically Valid Fitness Test in Suburban SWAT Operators: 10 tactical athletes (SWAT operators) were tested to develop the validity of a physical fitness test that closely mirrored their physical ... -
Does EDHF-blockade by fluconazole alter cerebral autoregulation and hemodynamics during lower-body negative pressure?
Matney, Jacob (2023-05-12)Animal models suggest that cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP450), an enzyme within the EDHF pathway, plays a critical role in the control of cerebral hemodynamics and autoregulation. However, this observation has not been directly ... -
Drafting Defensemen's Effect on National Hockey League Outcomes
Adkins, John (2023-12-15)Any draft in the league’s “salary cap era” (2005– Present) would go differently with hindsight & with knowledge of the ultimate realized value of players. This study aimed to explore whether National Hockey League (NHL) ... -
The Effect of Acute Citrulline Malate Supplementation on Mitochondrial Function, Oxygen Saturation, Handgrip Critical Force, and Recovery of Force in the Forearm Muscles.
Hodges, Elise (2023-05-12)Citrulline Malate has possible exercise performance enhancement abilities due to the vasodilatory effect of nitric oxide produced from citrulline combined with a possible increase in mitochondrial efficiency from malate. ... -
