Effect of jumping on growing bones : forces during different landings

Creator:: Black, Bradley A.
Abstract:: In order to develop a stimulating yet effective school-based program which elicits a positive bone growth response, we need to understand the forces acting on the bones of children during various high-impact activities. One activity found to promote bone growth is drop landings from a height. We determined whether there...

Inhibition of exercise-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle damage by prior supplementation with the antioxidant vitamins E and C

Creator:: Mastaloudis, Angela
Abstract:: To determine if 6 weeks prior supplementation with vitamins E and C could alleviate exercise-induced DNA damage, prevent lipid peroxidation and inflammation, slow the rate of vitamin E utilization and/or attenuate muscle damage, 22 subjects (11 females: 11 males) were studied during a 50 km (32 mile) ultramarathon. Subjects were...

Women's perceptions of their needs and perferences in an intramural sports program : a critical analysis of intramural sports participants and potential participants at Oregon State University

Creator:: Bussler, Andrea C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine women's perceptions of their physical activity needs and preferences, survey their evaluation of how the Intramural Sports Department accommodates those needs and preferences, and determine if and how intramural sports programming might be adjusted to serve women better. An open-ended survey was...

VO₂peak and running economy in female collegiate soccer players across a competitive season

Creator:: Olson, Johanna R.
Abstract:: Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen utilized (ml.kg⁻¹min⁻¹) when running a fixed speed, and it has been demonstrated to be an important factor determining race performance in distance runners. There is evidence that running economy and/or maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) improves over the course of a training season...

Three-dimensional motion of the center of mass and energetic cost across a variety of walking speeds : a comparison between adults with and without Down syndrome

Creator:: Agiovlasitis, Stamatis
Abstract:: It has been previously suggested that the walking pattern of individuals with Down syndrome is inefficient. This is thought to result from increased instability, particularly in the medio-lateral direction, due to the characteristic joint laxity and muscle hypotonia of individuals with DS. Therefore, this work was an attempt to gain...

Efficacy of lateral heel wedge orthotics for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis

Creator:: Wallace, David A.
Abstract:: Lateral heel wedge orthotics are designed to reduce medial tibiofemoral joint loading and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). To date, the efficacy of long-term lateral heel wedge orthotics use among OA patients has not been determined. This study evaluated the extent to which lateral heel wedge orthotics reduced...

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...

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...

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...
