Classroom teachers' accuracy in observing students' motor performance

Creator:: King, Christine Marie
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine how accurate classroom teachers' observations are for identifying high and low motor performances. In order to assess teacher accuracy in rating motor performance, an analysis was conducted on students' scores on the Short Form of the Bruininks - Oseretsky Test of Motor...

An application of item response theory to the test of gross motor development

Creator:: Cole, Emily Lynne
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to (a) provide insight into the use of item response theory (IRT) with psychomotor skills, (b) assess the psychometric properties of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) using IRT, and (c) provide a basis for future studies of the TGMD using IRT. The...

Effect of peer group presence on the gross motor performance of young children

Creator:: Bates, Margaret K.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if passive peer group presence had a significant effect on the performance of students on the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD). Fifty-eight volunteer nonhandicapped children aged five, eight, and ten years were subjects for the study. There were 18 subjects aged...

Spinal reflex control in healthy and ACL-injured women during a distracting task

Creator:: Perrier, Erica Taylor
Abstract:: Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between several risk factors, that can roughly be categorized as anatomic, biomechanical, hormonal, and neuromuscular. Neuromuscular risk factors have recently gained a...

The effects of plyometrics on neuromuscular control

Creator:: Doeringer, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on both spinal and supraspinal motor control as well as the rate of torque development (RTD) in healthy active females. Thirty-one subjects were recruited to participate in the study and participated in either the training or control...

Meditation and relaxation and their effect upon the pattern of physiological response during the performance of a fine motor and gross motor task

Creator:: Wood, Carolyn Jean
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of immediate prior meditation (transcendental meditation) and relaxation upon the pattern of physiological response and performance of a fine motor and gross motor task. A second purpose of this study was to determine whether the long term regular practice of...

Spinal control mechanisms in elite level, explosively-trained athletes from two different sports

Creator:: Zidek, Marie E.
Abstract:: Mechanisms of motor control and function are interesting to those from the medical, athletic training and sports performance professions primarily during the development of conditioning and rehabilitation programs. The aim of this study was to assess spinal control mechanisms in two groups of explosively trained, female athletes from a NCAA...

The relationship of certain mathematics skills to success of students in introductory community college chemistry

Creator:: Perkins, Raymond David
Abstract:: This study was designed to identify those specific mathematics computational and application skills, and combinations of mathematics skills, which have a positive relationship to success in introductory chemistry for community college students. Additional areas of interest investigated, but secondary to the main study, were the relationships between mathematical growth shown...

The effect of previewing words on timed writings

Creator:: Harrison, Marion E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to supply information that would help improve typing courses by identifying successful skillbuilding practices and to provide students with a means of increasing speed and/or accuracy during timed writings. More specifically, the purpose of this study was to answer the question: Does the previewing...
