Sensory integration during balance in individuals with differing degrees of Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type

Creator:: Dickin, D. Clark (Douglas Clark)
Abstract:: Individuals with Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (SDAT) are up to four times more likely to sustain an accidental fall than their non-demented peers. The cause(s) of this elevated risk, however, has not been determined. Prior to the design of balance retraining programs, researchers need to uncover the nature...

The influence of perceptual training on volleyball performance among adolescent females

Creator:: Tyry, Tuula-Maija A.
Abstract:: This study investigated the influence of perceptual training on volleyball serve-reception performance. The subjects were ten female high-school volleyball players. Subjects were randomly assigned in equal numbers to a control or an experimental group. Both groups were tested on two occasions, prior to and following a three-week perceptual training intervention....

A kinetic and kinematic comparison of the grab and track starts in competitive swimming

Creator:: Juergens, Cheryl A.
Abstract:: In competitive swimming a spread in time of only 0.10, and 0.16 seconds constituted the difference between finishing second and seventh, and first and eighth, respectively, in the women's 50 yard freestyle at the 1993 NCAA Division III National Swimming & Diving Championships. Based on data collected over a period...

Task and support surface constraints on the coordination and control of posture in older adults

Creator:: Clark, Sean
Abstract:: Although research evidence clearly indicates support surface properties are a major factor contributing to fall risk among the elderly, investigations examining the influence of variations in surface conditions on the postural control of older adults during task performance have been limited. Thus, the primary purpose of the present studies was...

Relative effectiveness of three instructional strategies on the learning of an overarm throw for force

Creator:: Adams, Deborah Lee
Abstract:: This study investigated the relative effectiveness of three instructional strategies on the learning of an overarm throw among preadolescent females. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the following instructional strategies: a correct model supplemented with verbal cues, a learning model supplemented with verbal cues, and verbal cues only. The...

An analysis of the diagnostic and perscriptive expertise of Level II and Examiner downhill ski instructors

Creator:: Young, Ben (Ben Leonard)
Abstract:: For coaches to qualitatively analyze the performance of sport skills as executed by their students, they must possess an internal image of the desired skill against which to make comparisons (Hoffman, 1983; Pinheiro & Simon, 1992). Leas and Chi (1993) have indicated that there are differences between novice and expert...

Distant interactions and their effects on children's physical activity levels during fitness instruction

Creator:: Patterson, Debra Lynn
Abstract:: Evidence exists that links a sedentary lifestyle with the emergence of chronic diseases during adulthood. Reports indicate that many children and adolescents already have risk factors for chronic diseases and the prevalence of obesity among children is at an all time high. There are concerns that children may not be...

The exercise motivation scale : its multifaceted structure and construct validity

Creator:: Li, Fuzhong
Abstract:: Building upon Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) self-determination theory as well as previous empirical work on motivation, the present study was designed to develop a multifaceted 31-item Exercise Motivation Scale (EMS). A series of pilot studies were first conducted in order to generate the 31 scale items. The EMS was...

The role of musculoskeletal forces in the human walk-run transition

Creator:: Fewster, Jonathan B.
Abstract:: This investigation examined the possible role of musculoskeletal forces in the human walk-run transition. In order to measure these forces a treadmill was constructed which allowed the measurement of vertical ground reaction forces while subjects walked and ran at prescribed speeds. Validation proved the device to be accurate and reliable...
