THE EFFECTS OF AGING ON SKELETAL MUSCLE MORPHOLOGY AND NEUROMUSCULAR FUNCTION OF THE LEG EXTENSORS
(2011)
The purpose of the present study was to examine the muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), thigh skinfold thickness (SF), maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) peak force (PF), and the log-transformed EMG and MMG amplitude ...
APPLICATION OF INTEGRATIVE BEHAVIOR MODEL TO PREDICT INITIATION OR MAINTENANCE OF STOPPING BINGE DRINKING AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
(2017-08)
With the heightened risk for serious social and physiological consequences, binge drinking is arguably the single most important preventable cause of morbidity and mortality among college students. The negative consequences ...
The Role of the Black Church in Adolescent Sexuality Education
(2017-08)
Objective: To identify pastors’ and parents’ opinions of the Black Church’s role in promoting adolescent sexual health and preventing teen pregnancy. The Black Church institution is an important partner in preventing teen ...
AN EXAMINATION OF ECCENTRIC VERSUS CONCENTRIC UNILATERAL RESISTANCE EXERCISE ON IPSILATERAL AND CONTRALATERAL MOTOR CONTROL STRATEGIES ACROSS AN 8 WEEK TRAINING PERIOD
(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. ...
Associations between Young Adult and Parent Religiosity and Young Adult Mental Health
(2017-08-01)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between religiosity in young adults and mental health outcomes that include depressive symptoms and suicide ideation, and to examine associations between ...
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 ...
Evaluation of Asymmetry in Power Contribution and Muscle Activation during Cycling in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis
(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 ...
THE ACUTE SKELETAL MUSCLE RESPONSE TO LOWER BODY RESISTANCE TRAINING WITH AND WITHOUT BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION IN PHYSICALLY ACTIVE MALES BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-35
(2014)
Blood flow restriction (BFR) in combination with exercise has been shown to result in favorable effects on skeletal muscle mass and function. However, most protocols have used an arbitrary pressure or they have based the ...
An examination of the cross-over effects of fatigue with and without mirror visual feedback
(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 ...
Bilateral Fatigue of the Anterior Tibialis in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis
(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 ...
