  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
