THE EFFECTS OF MUSCLE LENGTH ON FORCE STEADINESS AND EMG RESPONSES FOLLOWING A FATIGUING PROTOCOL
Tharp, Hayden (2017-05-12)The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of muscle length on force steadiness and EMG responses following a fatiguing intervention. Twenty-three subjects, fifteen men and eight women, were required to perform ... -
Effects of Postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia on Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury
Wardlow, Garrett (2017-05-12)Background: Cardiovascular disease, including ischemic-reperfusion injury, is the number one cause of mortality in the United States. Among numerous contributing factors, a westernized high fat diet can negatively affect ... -
The effects of training status and recovery time on the reconstitution of impulse above electrically stimulated critical torque
Shepherd, Ryann (2022-05-13)Fatigue represents a reduction in the desired or expected muscular force (Porter, 1981) often as a result of intense or prolonged exercise. Critical power (CP) provides a framework to understand fatigue and exercise ... -
The Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Isometric Exercise on Pain Perception Prior to and Following an Acute Bout of Exercise
Quarshie, Alwyn (2018-05-11)Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience. The experience of acute or chronic pain has produced adverse societal implications. The use of exercise and TENS have been established for their ability to ... -
Estimation of Critical Torque Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of the Quadriceps in Humans
Janzen, Natalie; Black, Christopher (2017-05-12)Critical torque (CT) is an integrative measure/concept that represents the “critical” or upper boundary of steady-state work that can be performed without leading to exhaustive fatigue. While this concept has been observed ... -
Evaluation of Asymmetry in Power Contribution and Muscle Activation during Cycling in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis
Farrell III, John (2018-05)Bilateral asymmetry has emerged as a potential new symptom in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with previous studies having found significant asymmetries in peak power output (PPO) during single leg cycling and maximal ... -
An evaluation of the advanced maternal age experience and how it differs from optimal maternal age
Cornell, Carianne (2021-05-14)Advanced maternal age pregnancy occurring at or above age 35, is a growing trend in the United States. Studies have been done to compare both risk factors and birth outcomes between optimal maternal age and advanced ... -
An Evaluation of the Foot Tapping Test (FTT) in a Healthy Population
Pribble, Brian (2017-08)The reliability of the foot tapping test (FTT) has not been well identified in a normal healthy population. In order to make it clinically relevant, more research must be done on the FTT in healthy individuals in order to ... -
AN EXAMINATION OF ECCENTRIC VERSUS CONCENTRIC UNILATERAL RESISTANCE EXERCISE ON IPSILATERAL AND CONTRALATERAL MOTOR CONTROL STRATEGIES ACROSS AN 8 WEEK TRAINING PERIOD
Wages, Nathan (2017-05-12)Traditionally, contralateral training interventions have been applied in the unilateral limb to examine the potential short-term “cross-over” responses and long-term “cross education” adaptations in the contralateral limb. ... -
An examination of the cross-over effects of fatigue with and without mirror visual feedback
Carr, Joshua (2019-05-10)Skeletal muscle fatigue is a multifactorial process that leads to decrements in the force generating capacity of the neuromuscular system. During a maximal unilateral and bilateral contraction, complex interactions occur ... -
Examining the relationship among weight status, physical activity, and pain affecting activity in a nationally representative sample
Venturini, Ashley (2021-05-14)Chronic pain has been considered as one of the leading causes of decreased quality of life and disability in adults. Recent evidence suggested that physical activity level, weight status, age, and other demographic ... -
An experimental evaluation of central pain processing following COVID-19 infection
Peterson, Jessica (2021-08-05)Neurological symptoms, including pain, have been increasingly recognized as an area of concern in symptomatic patients of COVID-19. COVID-19 initiates an inflammatory response that can sensitize and activate nociceptors ... -
Fourth Down's Critical Role in a Winning Strategy for American Football Games
Psajdl, Erin (2021-05-14)Data analytics is booming, and this boom has started to creep into sports – originating in baseball and moving its way across other popular sports leagues. American Football is one of the last sports to embrace the analytics ... -
IMPACT OF ACUTE INCREASES IN RETROGRADE SHEAR RATE ON MICROVASCULAR FUNCTION
Ramos Gonzalez, Macarena (2017-05-12)Background: Research had well examined the influence of different levels of retrograde shear stress on macrovascular endothelial function. Data showed a negative impact on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), leading to macrovascular ... -
Influence of Adjuvant Therapy in Cancer Survivors on Endothelial Function and Skeletal Muscle Deoxygenation
Ederer, Austin; Didier, Kaylin; Reiter, Landon; Brown, Michael; Hardy, Rachel; Caldwell, Jacob; Black, Christopher; Larson, Rebecca; Ade, Carl (2016-01-25) -
A LONGITUDINAL ASSESSMENT OF BIOMARKERS, MUSCULAR PERFORMANCE, AND AEROBIC CAPACITY IN COLLEGE-AGED ROTC MEMBERS
Baker, Breanne (2018-08)Military personnel engage in vigorous PA, which would suggest higher bone mineral density (BMD) and lower fracture incidence rates; however, bone injuries are common in this cohort. Imaging devices such as DXA and pQCT ... -
Menstrual Cycle Changes in Quadricep Muscular Architecture and Other Functional Parameters in College-aged Females Compared to Males
Fox, Ashley (2019-08-01)Women have often been excluded from research studies due to the fluctuations of hormones throughout the menstrual cycle and the difficulty in scheduling through different phases and the possible interaction it may have ... -
NIL and the Effect of Corporate Density on College Football Recruiting
Buchman, Blake (2022-05-13)College athletics is an ever-changing landscape and the most recent event to change that landscape is the introduction of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) policies. This issue of NIL pertains to the ability for college student ... -
Non-invasive load monitoring in female Division 1 collegiate gymnastics
Brewer, Maegan (2021-12-17)Gymnasts is a high intensity, monotonous, and extremely physically and mentally demanding sport. Despite strong research in other, primarily male, populations, internal and external load measures have been scarcely researched ... -
