Predicting School Readiness Using Motor Skill Proficiency of At-Risk Preschoolers

Creator:: Tepfer, Amanda Taek Soon
Abstract:: Background: Early childhood is filled with incredible growth in all areas of development and offers a critical period for optimal learning (Lerner, 2002). During this critical period both motor skills (Bouffard, Watkinson, Thompson, Causgrove Dunn, & Romanow, 1996; Clark & Metcalfe, 2002; Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett, & Okely, 2010; Stodden...

Use of a modified ride‐on car may aid in providing children with disabilities essential social interaction with peers

Creator:: Cooley, Erika L. and Logan, Samuel W.
Abstract:: Children with disabilities engage in fewer social interactions than their typically developing peers (McConkey et al., 2013). The lack of social invitations may lead to many negative outcomes in the future, including poor academic performance and aggressive-disruptive behavior (Odom, 2006). Preschool-aged children (3-5 years old) without disabilities are aware that...

The effect of rotational range of motion deficits on glenohumeral joint force production and capsuloligamentous laxity in collegiate baseball pitchers

Creator:: Leddon, Charles
Abstract:: Decreases in glenohumeral (GH) rotation motion and rotator cuff strength have been linked to multiple pathologies in the throwing arms of baseball pitchers, but a full understanding of the shoulder mechanisms affected by a total arc of motion deficit (TAMD) has not yet been achieved. This study was designed to...

Recharge@Work : a theory-based intervention to reduce sedentary behavior in desk-dependent office workers

Creator:: Lafrenz, Andrew Jon, 1980-
Abstract:: Over the past few decades, a primary focus has been on the negative health effects of not participating in regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MPVA). Only recently has sedentary behavior been studied as a distinct and independent risk factor for adverse health outcomes. This dissertation sought to provide new insights into...

Experiences among women with shame and self-compassion in cardio-based exercise classes

Creator:: Rogers, Kim
Abstract:: Shame is a debilitating inner experience elicited by the negative self-appraisal of one's entire self, and is characterized by a deep-seated sense of being flawed, defective, and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging (Brown, 2006). Although significant research has explored self-conscious emotions, including shame, little has been done to examine...

Examining physical activity and gross motor skills in children with developmental disabilities

Creator:: Cook, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Many children with developmental disabilities are not engaging in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (Pan, 2008; Shields, Dodd, & Abblitt, 2009; Whitt-Glover et al., 2006), which can lead to additional health disparities and decreased quality of life for children in this population (Field & Jette, 2007). The relationship...

Contribution of physical education to the overall physical activity behavior of children

Creator:: Wilson, Wesley J.
Abstract:: The benefits of physical activity (PA) are well established (USDDHS, 2008). Concern over the high rate of childhood obesity, however, has highlighted the emphasis of PA. Yet, children and adolescents are not obtaining the recommended amount of PA (CDC, 2011). Physical education (PE) has been recognized as an important source...

Development of a physical activity health promotion program for the group home setting

Creator:: Dixon-Ibarra, Alicia Mae
Abstract:: Background: A particular health inequity that has drawn national attention is obesity in persons with disabilities (CDC, 2011). Estimates suggest that as many as 80% of adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability (ID) are overweight or obese (Stanish & Draheim, 2005). Despite the benefits of being active (e.g. controlling...

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. The undergraduate popularity is not reflected in the rest of academia, or even the general public, many of whom feel kinesiology is not a...

Effectiveness of an educational health promotion program on influencing physical activity behaviors in individuals with mobility disabilities

Creator:: Pawlowski, Jill K.
Abstract:: Participation in regular physical activity is important for individuals with a mobility disability to decrease risk of chronic disease, improve quality of life, and maintain and improve functional ability. Consequently, there is a need for programs that can facilitate the adoption and maintenance of regular physical activity for adults with...
