ASSESSMENT OF THE BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MUSCLE PENNATION AND FORCE PRODUCTION IN THE QUADRICEPS FEMORIS
Blackwood, Daniel (2018-05-11)Few studies have investigated the bilateral symmetry of pennation angle (PA). No research has examined the bilateral relationship between PA and force production (FP). Purpose: The purposes of this study were to: 1) determine ... -
Circadian rhythm variation in endocrine biomarker responses to high-intensity interval training in college aged males
Shuler, Cyrus (2023-08-04)The purposes of this study were to: 1) to examine the effects of time of day on salivary testosterone (sal-T) and salivary cortisol (sal-C) concentrations following acute bouts of high intensity interval training (HIIT) ... -
Differences in predicted external training load values across an NCAA Division I men’s basketball season
Kutson, Constantine (2023-08-04)Tracking and monitoring of external load is an important consideration for sport performance practitioners. Despite its relative importance, there is very little research surrounding the external load demands of NCAA ... -
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. ... -
EFFECT OF AN ACUTE HIGH FAT MEAL IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS: THE EXERCISE PRESSOR RESPONSE
Branch, Patrece; Caldwell, Jacob; Wardlow, Garrett; Ramos, Macarena; Ade, Carl (2016-12-16)Background: Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of mortality in the United States which has arose from numerous contributing factors including the westernized diet and its shift toward more fatty and carbohydrate ... -
The Effects of a Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Central and Peripheral Fatigue Following High and Low Intensity Fatiguing Exercise
Haskins, Kody (2018-05-11)Fatigue is the primary cause of the decline in performance during exercise. A carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to have a beneficial effect during long duration, aerobic exercise. However, the effects of a CHO ... -
Effects of an Eight Week Maximal Jumping Intervention on Bone Characteristics in College-Aged Females
Balderas, Alison (2019-08-01)Peak bone mass occurs between the second and third decade, around a person’s late twenties and is followed by a plateau in bone mineral density (BMD). Osteoporosis can be a result from a failure to achieve peak bone mass ... -
The Effects of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Trained Females Following Repeated Sprint Activity
Hodgson, Nicholas (2018-08)Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of a sprinting protocol to consistently generate exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) using an active female population, and to observe how jumping metrics and ... -
Effects of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Aerobic Parameters During a Graded-Exercise Test
Delp, Morgan (2020-05-08)Female participants are underrepresented in exercise research, and this exclusion can largely be attributed to a lack of knowledge regarding impacts of menstrual cycle on exercise. Results from previous exercise studies ... -
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 ... -
Electrocortical activity differences between single and double leg graded exercise cycling test: an EEG study
Owens, Cameron (2020-07-30)ABSTRACT Single leg (SL) cycling has been reported to show increases in cardiac output, neuromuscular activity, power output, and oxidative molecules when compared to double leg (DL) cycling. While these peripheral ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Examining the relationship among weight status, physical activity, and pain affecting activity in a nationally representative sample
