The Effects of Aerobic and Localized Fatigue on Jump Shot Kinematics and Kinetics in Team Handball Players
(2015-05-13)
Team handball has become a very popular sport throughout the world and according to
the International Handball Federation over 30 million athletes in 183 countries currently play the
sport. The purpose of this project ...
Effects of Aging and Exercise on Mitochondrial Physiology
(2023-04-24)
Mitochondria are organelles which main function is to generate energy in the form of ATP, although they are involved in a myriad of cellular processes. Mitochondria form a dynamic network that responds to the energetic ...
The Effects of Body Composition on Female Softball Pitching Biomechanics
(2020-11-24)
Additional mass is often considered beneficial for softball pitching performance; however, there may be adverse effects of increased body mass and body fat on softball pitching biomechanics. The purpose of this project was ...
The Effects of Cardiovascular Exercise on eSport Performance
(2022-07-20)
Video games have evolved from a juvenile recreational activity into an avenue for organized competition known as electronic sports (eSports). Cognitive research identifies visual attention, memory, and task-switching as ...
The Effects of Cervical Spine Position and Spinal Manipulation on Shoulder Rotation Strength
(2021-07-22)
Shoulder rotation strength is included as part of an orthopedic examination for clinicians treating patients presenting with shoulder pathology. However, for populations prone to shoulder injury, such as overhead athletes ...
The Effects of Class Size in Elementary Physical Education: An Examination of Student Activity Levels, Class Management Time, and Teacher Attitudes
(2009-05-11)
Through the years, research has been conducted on the effects of class size on classroom instruction, with most states passing legislation to control the size of elementary classroom student-teacher ratios. However, little ...
The effects of diet, physical activity, psychosocial variables, and home environment on weight status of children who reside in a low-income rural area
(2012-12-05)
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of diet, physical activity, psychosocial variables, and environment on the weight status of children who reside in a low-income rural area. One hundred fifty ...
The Effects of Exercise on LINE-1 Regulation
(2019-07-23)
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA and constitute approximately half of the human genome. LINE-1 (L1) is the only active autonomous TE in the mammalian genome and has been implicated, either directly or indirectly, ...
The Effects of Fitness Experts and Exercise Facilities on Physical Fitness in the Officer Candidate School Population
(2021-04-29)
Introduction:
The Army recently overhauled its approach to physical fitness. A newly introduced training methodology called Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) seeks to integrate novelties such as the use of certified fitness ...
Effects of high-volume and high-intensity resistance training on skeletal muscle ultrastructure
(2020-06-19)
Background: Recently there has been enthusiasm surrounding the differential training adaptations that result from higher-load (HL) versus higher-volume (HV) resistance training. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ...
The Effects of Implicit Learning, Practicing with the Expectation of Teaching, and Anxiety Training on Motor Performance Under Psychological Pressure
(2022-12-05)
This dissertation describes a research program focused on investigating learning strategies that could prevent individuals from showing inferior motor performance when performing under psychological pressure, a phenomenon ...
The Effects of Increased Workload on Softball Pitching Mechanics, Range of Motion, and Strength
(2021-06-28)
Softball pitching is a dynamic motion that requires the entire kinetic chain and has been documented to result in whole body muscular fatigue. In addition to muscular fatigue, increased pain has been documented after a ...
