Effects of The Hexosamine Biosynthesis Pathway in Endothelial Function 

Adeyemo, Adelola (2019-12-09)
Diabetes is characterized by high circulating plasma glucose and insulin resistance. Many diabetics have additional comorbidities, a major one being hypertension. Endothelial dysfunction links diabetes and hypertension. ...

Effects of visual supports on the performance of the Test of Gross Motor Development (Second Edition) by children with autism spectrum disorder 

Breslin, Casey (2009-05-13)
Daily physical education should be included as a direct service in the individualized education plan of each child with a documented disability as mandated by PL 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. ...

The Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Low Back Pain During and After a Military Foot March and Foot March Performance 

Lyons, Kaitlin (2020-04-16)
Background: Military foot marches are a critical part of operational missions and military training. However, increases in load carriage weight has increased the amount of musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) sustained. MSI from ...

Endogenous Opioids and Exercise Induced Cardioprotection 

Miller, Lindsey (2012-05-04)
Acute exercise exposure dramatically decreases tissue injury and cellular death that results during the ischemia–reperfusion (IR) events of myocardial infarction, though the mechanisms aren’t fully understood. Existing ...

Establishing Prolonged Hyperlactatemia in a Canine Model 

Rogatzki, Matthew (2014-07-29)
The purpose of this study was to maintain acid-base and electrolyte balance while inducing an eight-hour hyperlactatemic clamp of 8-9 mM using the canine model. Six adult dogs were anesthetized using sodium pentobarbital. ...

An Evaluation of the Effects of Two Natural Surfaces on the Kinematics of the Canine Sprint Start 

Angle, Thomas (2009-04-28)
The purposes of this investigation were to evaluate the kinematic influence of two different natural ground surfaces on the canine sprint start and to determine which surface was safer for movement initiation. The hypothesis ...

Evaluation of Training, Fueling, and Whey Protein Supplementation in Army Initial Entry Training 

McAdam, Jeremy (2018-07-26)
Background: Nutrient intake needs to provide the energy required to support recovery from training, improve performance, and promote health. To date, research on energy expenditure and dietary intake in recruits that ...

An Examination of Effectiveness and Visual Attention to Visual Instructional Supports for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder 

Irwin, Jacqueline (2017-07-31)
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display widespread motor deficits in addition to the core social-communication and behavioral deficits. Children and adolescents have consistently demonstrated poor performance ...

An Examination of the Influence of Guided Practice on Overhand Throwing Competence in Preschool Children in a Mastery Motivational Climate 

Johnson, Jerraco (2019-06-17)
It is widely accepted that fundamental motor skills (FMS) are considered the building blocks for successful participation in sports and physical activity for children, adolescents, and adults (Haywood & Getchell, 2014), ...

An Examination of the Practices and Experiences of Physical Education Teachers of English Language Learners 

Delk, Desmond (2015-07-28)
Over the last decade, there has been a burgeoning number of English Language Learners (ELLs) in U.S. classrooms. This consistent increase in ELLs is a clear indication of the need for teachers to be well equipped with the ...
