The effects of high-impact exercise on bone mass in adolescent girls

Creator:: Witzke, Kara A.
Abstract:: We evaluated anthropometric and performance measures which best predict bone mineral density (BMD) in 54 adolescent girls (14.6±0.5y; 22.7±14.0 months past menarche). BMD for the whole body, femoral neck, greater trochanter, lumbar spine (L2-L4), and mid-femoral shaft was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR 1000/W). Whole body lean...

Adaptation of vertical ground reaction force due to changes in breast support in running

Creator:: Shivitz, Nicole L.
Abstract:: Introduction: Sports bras offer different levels of breast support and allow for a wide range of vertical breast motion. Excessive breast motion during exercise causes discomfort and may discourage participation in regular exercise. Inadequate breast support may lead to adaptations in a woman's running mechanics. Purpose: This study aimed to...

A prospective study of functional performance balance self-efficacy, and bone mineral density in community-dwelling elderly women

Creator:: Gunter, Katherine B.
Abstract:: In the United States, falls are the leading cause of unintentional death with one of every three people 65 years and older falling each year. Falls account for approximately 95% of hip fractures among older adults and falls to the side predominate hip fracture related falls in this population. However,...

Effects of two resistance training protocols on insulin-like growth factors, muscle strength and bone mass in older adults

Creator:: Maddalozzo, Gianni F.
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: . Abstract approved: Christine M. Snow, Ph.D. With age, there are marked declines in bone mineral density

Kinematic analysis of male olympic cross-country skiers using the open field skating technique

Creator:: Heagy, Brian S.
Abstract:: The kinematic characteristics of 17 elite male cross-country skiers competing in the 50 km race of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games were determined. Each skier used the open field skating technique, one of four skating techniques used in free technique cross-country ski races. Skiers were filmed by the use of...

Participation of adults with mental retardation in a voluntary physical activity program

Creator:: Stanish, Heidi Isabel
Abstract:: This study compared the effect of two sources of instruction and verbal encouragement on the participation of individuals with mental retardation (MR) in a 10-week physical activity program. Participants were 17 adult employees of a sheltered workshop (5 females, 12 males) ranging in age from 30 to 65 years. The...

Psychometric properties of two systematic observation techniques for assessing physical activity levels in children with mental retardation

Creator:: Taylor, Christina Anne
Abstract:: Psychometric properties of two systematic observation tools, the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT) and the Children's Activity Rating Scale (CARS), were examined for use with individuals with mental retardation (MR). Eleven children with MR were videotaped while participating in gym-based physical activity. Accelerometer data were collected and synchronized...

The impact dynamics of a tennis ball striking a hard surface

Creator:: Wang, Jin-cherng
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to study the impact phenomena of a tennis ball striking a hard surface. Stroboscopic photography was used to collect the ball's impact images from seven angles of incidence, ranging from -23 degrees to -70 degrees with zero, top and back initial spin respectively. Through...

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...

The role of attention in one-handed catching

Creator:: Populin, Luis
Abstract:: The present study investigated the contribution of attention to one-handed catching success. A group of skilled (N = 8) and non-skilled (N = 10) subjects were compared in their ability to process secondary task information while executing a primary one-handed catching task. On 40% of the trials, a secondary visual...
