Validity and Reliability of the Unsupervised, Isokinetic Three-Minute All-Out Cycling Test for Critical Power

Creator:: Bronson, Staci M.
Abstract:: PURPOSE: We tested the hypothesis that the unsupervised, isokinetic 3- minute all-out cycling test (3MT) would be a valid and reliable way to determine end power (EP) and work done above end power (WEP). Additionally, we hypothesized that EP would successfully demarcate between heavy and severe-intensity exercise and thus represent...

Investigation of Bioactive Compounds in Different Types of Fruit Pomace and Their Applications as Bulk Materials for Creating Biocomposite

Creator:: Gouw, Virginia P.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the physicochemical properties and bioactive compounds from four different types of fruit pomace, including apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cranberry, and further to investigate the feasibility of creating apple pomace based biocomposite boards using thermal compression molding and to optimize the biocomposite formulations...

A Field Test for the Estimation of Heart Rate at Lactate Threshold : The 30-minute Cycling Time Trial

Creator:: Partridge, Staci M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the 30-minute cycling time trial to estimate the heart rate at lactate threshold. Recreationally trained cyclists and triathletes (n = 47) performed 3 tests in random order: 1) One graded exercise test to directly determine lactate threshold...

Associations Between Family Nutrition and Physical Activity, Food Security, and Childhood Obesity in Rural Oregon

Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Childhood obesity and food insecurity are public health issues that often coexist, and both conditions are more prevalent among rural compared to non-rural populations. Social ecological prevention efforts are recommended, yet limited research has examined how rural family-home environments may influence obesity-preventing and -promoting behaviors. The purpose of this dissertation...

Very high physical activity predicts higher diet quality in healthy young adults, as measured by the Healthy Eating Index 2005

Creator:: Johnson, Angela K.
Abstract:: Physical inactivity and unhealthful diet are major risk factors for noncommunicable diseases, and strategies worldwide now focus on improving diet and encouraging physical activity (PA). Participation in PA lowers the risk for numerous chronic diseases, while a healthful diet also offers resistance to disease. However, practicing both behaviors offers greater...

Toward the development of screening tests for heart attacks and back injuries in firefighters : a study to investigate back-specific fitness, perceived fitness and aerobic capacity in a firefighter population

Creator:: Moore, Karlie J.
Abstract:: Firefighting is a very hazardous profession. Firefighters experience an injury rate that is three times higher than other physically demanding professions and the death rate in the fire service is also much higher compared to typical. Throughout the literature, data suggest the physical nature of firefighting contributes to the high...

Out-of-pocket health care expenditures and household food insecurity among families with children

Creator:: Patton-Lopez, Megan M.
Abstract:: Since the late 1990s accelerated growth in health care spending coupled with a cost shift of health insurance from employers to employees has created an increased financial burden for many families. Past research suggests that financial burden due to out-of-pocket (OOP) health care costs limits access to health care and...

Examining the effects of a community-based physical activity programon moderate to vigorous physical activity and skeletal health in growing girls

Creator:: Kasianchuk, Anastasia M.
Abstract:: Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a community-based running program that encourages social, mental, emotional and physical development in young girls through the process of training for a 5k running event. Previous reports have shown that GOTR has positive effects on self-esteem and dietary behaviors; whether GOTR influences levels of...

Translating the Better Bones and Balance Intervention Program into the community setting: effects of participation on skeletal health, fall risk indicators, and physical activity among older women

Creator:: McNamara, Adrienne J.
Abstract:: Better Bones and Balance (BBB) is a community-based exercise program to improve bone health and reduce fall risk among older adults. Prior research has shown that when the program is delivered by researchers under controlled conditions, participants improved strength and balance, and maintained bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip....

Factors Contributing to the Development of Body Fat In Growing Boys and Girls

Creator:: Lovemark, Courtney
Abstract:: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents continues to rise and is considered a major public health problem. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the contributions of sport participation, and calcium intake (controlling for mean energy intake, sex, and maturation status) on the development of...
