  • Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

    Creator:
    Joubert, Lanae Marie
    Abstract:
    Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

  • Active women with and without menstrual disorders : comparison of resting metabolic rate and energy availability

    Creator:
    Guebels, Charlotte P.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of exercise-induced menstrual dysfunction (ExMD) ranges between 6-79% in endurance-trained women and may result from a low energy availability (EA; kcal/kgFFM/d). EA is the energy remaining after planned exercise, which is available for basic physiological processes and daily living activities. One mechanism for energy conservation may be a...

  • A comparision of substrate utilization during exercise among males and females varying in age and training status

    Creator:
    Onsiri, Sombat
    Abstract:
    Exercise training has consistently been shown to increase fat utilization during exercise, while conflicting results have been reported on the effects of sex and age on fuel metabolism during exercise. PURPOSE: The primary objective of this investigation was to compare fat and carbohydrate utilization during exercise among males and females...

  • Effects of whole body vibration and progressive resistance exercise on balance and lower extremity strength

    Creator:
    Dodge, Nathan
    Abstract:
    Whole body vibration (WBV) is widely used as a mechanical stimulus for neuromuscular training, and to a lesser extent, in the treatment of patients undergoing physical rehabilitation. PURPOSE: To quantify any beneficial and/or synergistic effects associated with the longitudinal administration of WBV and progressive resistance (PRE) exercise on lower extremity...

  • Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

    Creator:
    Lee, Hyo
    Abstract:
    Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

  • Physical activity in children attending family child care homes

    Creator:
    Rice, Kelly Rae
    Abstract:
    Family Child Care Homes (FCCHs) are the second largest provider of non-relative care in the U.S. However, despite providing care for nearly 1.9 million children under the age of 5, little is known about the physical activity levels of children attending FCCHs. This dissertation sought to provide new information with...

  • 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...

  • Estimation of the energy cost of walking 10,000 steps

    Creator:
    Birdsley, Kari L.
    Abstract:
    There is a strong campaign underway to promote increased physical activity among the U.S. population. The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have presented physical activity recommendations in terms of the amount of time accumulated in physical activity and/or in terms of energy expenditure over the course of...

  • 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...
