The use of on-going, in-class assessment as a method of accountability during physical education

Creator:: Wright, Michael Thomas
Abstract:: All too often, students in physical education classes are only accountable for tasks such as attendance, dressing out, and maintaining positive behavior. To shift the focus to content accountability, teachers need to utilize methods and techniques that hold students accountable for subject matter performance. Another area of concern for physical...

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 growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

Creator:: Fuchs, Robyn K.
Abstract:: To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...

The exercise motivation scale : its multifaceted structure and construct validity

Creator:: Li, Fuzhong
Abstract:: Building upon Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) self-determination theory as well as previous empirical work on motivation, the present study was designed to develop a multifaceted 31-item Exercise Motivation Scale (EMS). A series of pilot studies were first conducted in order to generate the 31 scale items. The EMS was...

The epidemiology of fractures among adults with severe mental retardation residing in a state developmental center

Creator:: Downs, Steve B.
Abstract:: This retrospective study investigated the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors of bone fracture among a group of 518 adults with severe mental retardation between 25 and 75 years old. Data were collected from a large state developmental center in the Western United States between April 1, 1991 and March 31,...

The effects of training on upper body power in female cross-country skiers

Creator:: Downing, Julie J.
Abstract:: A distinguishing feature of elite cross-country (xc) skiers is their superlative upper body power (UBP). Race points/rankings are highly correlated to UBP, thus it appears that UIBP training is an integral component to the success of xc ski racers. Recently, roller board training was shown to be superior for improving...
