  • Exercise and Appetite : The Influence of Exercise Intensity on Appetite in Endurance Trained Women

    Creator:
    Howe, Stephanie Marie
    Abstract:
    In endurance-trained men, an acute bout of exercise is shown to suppress post-exercise appetite and alter changes in specific appetite regulating hormones. Limited research has examined these responses in endurance-trained women. PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of exercise intensity on the appetite regulating hormones acylated ghrelin, PYY and GLP-1 and...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

    Creator:
    Dinger, Melanie
    Abstract:
    Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...
