Electromyographic, mechanomyographic, and peak torque responses during repeated concentric isokinetic muscle actions with eyes-open versus eyes-closed
(2012)
The purpose of this study was to compare the peak torque and electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) amplitude and mean frequency (MNF) responses during fatiguing isokinetic muscle actions for eyes-open versus ...
The effects of 12 weeks of walking with and without blood flow reduction on bone turnover markers in college-aged women
(2012)
Walking while reducing blood flow to and from the working muscles has been shown to result in strength gains and increased muscle cross-sectional area (MCSA) in young men and older adults. However, little is known about ...
An examination of agonist and antagonist motor unit firing properties
(2013)
The interactions between opposing muscle (i.e. agonist and antagonist) groups can be extremely complex, task-dependent, and are still poorly understood. To identify possible origins of the coordination between antagonistic ...
A LONGITUDINAL ASSESSMENT OF BIOMARKERS, MUSCULAR PERFORMANCE, AND AEROBIC CAPACITY IN COLLEGE-AGED ROTC MEMBERS
(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 ...
EFFECTS OF YOGA EXERCISE ON BONE DENSITY AND BONE METABOLISM IN PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
(2010)
Although the beneficial effects of Yoga for increasing psychological well-being and decreasing stress and reducing cardiovascular risks have been reported, no studies to date have examined intervention Yoga training to ...
AN EXAMINATION OF NON-LOCAL MUSCLE FATIGUE IN UPPER AND LOWER LIMBS
(2016-05-13)
Non-local muscle fatigue (NLMF) is a phenomenon that has been described and examined extensively in literature. Traditionally, interventions have been applied in the unilateral limb to examine the potential short-term ...
The Influence of Aging on Cardiovascular Measures After an Acute Bout of Resistance Exercise
(2014)
As individuals age, substantial physiological changes occur. Most notably there is a decrease in muscle mass known as sarcopenia and an increase in arterial stiffness. In order to attenuate declines in muscle mass, ...
An Exploration of Wearable Activity Tracker Use by Young Adults
(2017-12)
Background: Young adulthood (18-29) is a critical time in the lifespan for the development of health behaviors. Wearable activity trackers are being adopted by young adults ahead of health promotion research. Methods: ...
THE EFFECT OF AN 8-WEEK YOGA EXERCISE PROGRAM AND A 4-WEEK RELAPSE PREVENTION PROGRAM ON PAIN, PHYSICAL FUNCTION, BALANCE, FLEXIBILITY, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL AND PREDICTORS OF EXERCISE IN ADULTS WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS
(2015-08-05)
The purposes of this study were to determine (1) the effectiveness of a 4 week relapse prevention intervention on exercise adherence rate, exercise self-efficacy, social support for exercise, and exercise intention and (2) ...
Influence of Exercise on the Temporal Response of Serum Osteocalcin Following Nutrient Intake
(2013)
Osteocalcin, also known as bone ã-carboxyglutamic acid, is an osteoblast-specific protein that has long be utilized in research as a marker of bone formation. Recently, osteocalcin has been recognized as a major regulator ...
