A descriptive study of demographic characteristics and perceptions of the educational preparation, professional experience, and selected duties of Christian College physical education faculty members

Creator:: Hoeck, Donald E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop a profile of Christian College physical education faculty members regarding their academic preparation, professional experience, and selected duties, as well as to identify important components of graduate preparation at the doctoral level for future faculty at these institutions. A survey instrument was...

An analysis of the diagnostic and perscriptive expertise of Level II and Examiner downhill ski instructors

Creator:: Young, Ben (Ben Leonard)
Abstract:: For coaches to qualitatively analyze the performance of sport skills as executed by their students, they must possess an internal image of the desired skill against which to make comparisons (Hoffman, 1983; Pinheiro & Simon, 1992). Leas and Chi (1993) have indicated that there are differences between novice and expert...

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...

A comparison of the effects of stretch duration and repetitions on hamstring extensibility

Creator:: Mende, Gent N.
Abstract:: The increase in tissue extensibility and joint range of motion through stretching has often been demonstrated. However, the existence of an optimal stretch duration has not been proven and the identification of an ideal number of repetitions of a stretch has received little attention in the literature. The purpose of...

The effects of different resistances on peak power during the Wingate anaerobic test

Creator:: Hermina, Waldemar
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

The efficacy of warm-up and stretching on lower extremity muscular force production and hamstring extensibility in non-power-trained individuals

Creator:: Frostad, Kimberly Ann
Abstract:: Objective: To determine the effectiveness of moderate pre-exercise warm-up, static stretching, or a combination of both on muscular force production and hamstring extensibility of the lower extremity. Design and Setting: This experiment was a counterbalanced repeated measures design of four treatment conditions. Subjects participated in warm-up, static stretching, combined warm-up...

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...

Examination of adolescents' sources of subjective task value in sport

Creator:: Stuart, Moira E.
Abstract:: Sport is an avenue for children and adolescents to improve physical skills as well as enhance their psycho-social development. Despite the benefits of sport, numerous children and adolescents choose not to be physically active. Consequently, several investigators have sought to determine why some children choose to participate in sport, while...

Influence of ankle orthoses on ankle joint motion and postural stability before and after exercise

Creator:: Jorden, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Ankle injuries comprise more than 15% of all sports injuries worldwide. The efficacy of the ankle taping for injury prevention has long been under scrutiny as numerous studies have shown that tape rapidly loses its ability to constrain ankle motion with exercise. Consequently, ankle braces (orthoses) are being used with...

Behavioral determinants of insulin resistance in non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease

Creator:: Littrell, Tanya R.
Abstract:: Greater degrees of insulin resistance are associated with increased rates of coronary artery disease (CAD) progression. However, the specific behavioral determinants of insulin resistance are not well known in patients with CAD. Although abdominal obesity contributes to insulin resistance, the extent to which abdominal obesity may modify the relationship between...
