  • The effects of static and dynamic stretching on reaction time and performance in a countermovement jump

    Creator:
    Perrier, Erica Taylor
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to quantify the effects of a warm-up with static or dynamic stretching on countermovement jump height, reaction time, muscle onsets for tibialis anterior (TA) and vastus lateralis (VL), and low back/ hamstring flexibility. METHODS: Twenty one recreationally-active males (24.4 ± 4.5 yrs), recruited...

  • 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...

  • Breaking silos : interdisciplinary research in kinesiology

    Creator:
    Schary, David P.
    Abstract:
    With the growing popularity of kinesiology at the undergraduate level, one would expect the field to be influential. Kinesiology, however, appears to be in a paradox.

  • 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...
