The relationship between biorhythms and injuries in female college gymnastic participants

Creator:: Chiang, Kai-sun
Abstract:: Biorhythm theory proponents believe that humans have a 23-day physical cycle, a 28-day emotional cycle, and a 33-day intellectual cycle. According to biorhythm theories a person in the positive portion of any single cycle, the performance potential is enhanced for those tasks related to that particular rhythm. When each cycle...

Gender differences and level of aspiration as factors in tennis skill performance of college students

Creator:: Keowmookdar, Nattaya
Abstract:: Level of aspiration plays a part in achievement motivation which supports teaching/learning in motor performances. In the past, females reported poorer ability in performances, set lower levels of aspiration, and had lesser achievement motives than males (Crandall, 1969; Stein & Bailey, 1973; Sumner & Johnson, 1949). Some researchers found there...

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...

A comparison of the effect of experimenter and microcomputer delivered knowledge of results on the response speed of nonretarded and mentally retarded students

Creator:: Atkins, Virginia Foster
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of experimenter delivered and microcomputer delivered knowledge of results on the response speed of nonretarded and mentally retarded public school students. Response speed was measured for 63 nonretarded students and 63 mentally retarded students. Subjects were randomly assigned to conditions...

Motor psychophysics training : its effects on the development of dynamic muscular power strength in male college athletes and non-athletes

Creator:: Chung, Sung Tai
Abstract:: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness, if any, of ten weeks of motor psychophysics training on the development of dynamic muscular strength (as measured by the bench press and squat) in male college athletes and non-athletes. Procedures: This study was conducted during the first (spring)...

Cardiorespiratory responses to circuit weight training as measured by a biokinetic swim-bench test and a treadmill run test

Creator:: Chiang, Jasson
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to determine if the cardiorespiratory adaptations to an eight-week circuit weight training program are better measured with a biokinetic swim-bench test versus a standard treadmill test. The working hypothesis of the study was that since standard circuit weight training programs stress the upper body...
