The purpose of this investigation was to determine the
sprint start time to the first 10 and to the second 10
meters as a result of alteration of starting block angles
and lateral block spacings.
One male world class, two female college level, one
male and one female high school...
The purpose of this study was: 1) to compare the
change in QT interval values before, during, and after
exercise following carbohydrate depletion and loading, and
2) to assess the change following vitamin B-6 supplementation.
ECG monitoring devices and bicycle ergometers were
used to collect ECG tracings and control the...
The purpose of this study was to monitor coronary responses
occurring in the S-T segment of an electrocardiogram before, during
and after exercise following a "standard" carbohydrate-loading schedule with varied vitamin B-6 supplementation. The study was conducted
using four college-aged males who had been training a minimum of two
years...
The purpose of this study was to determine the
effect of immediate prior meditation (transcendental
meditation) and relaxation upon the pattern of physiological
response and performance of a fine motor and
gross motor task. A second purpose of this study was
to determine whether the long term regular practice of...
Ankle injuries account for 10-20% of time loss injuries in sports
with almost 85% of these injuries being sprains, the majority of
which occur to the lateral ligamentous complex. With statistics such
as these it becomes important that the Athletic Trainer establish a
method for effective and efficient means to...
Right cerebral hemispheric lateralization for spatial
perception has been reported by using visual and tactile
spatial tasks in brain-damaged patients, split-brain
patients, and normal subjects. The main purpose of the
present study was to investigate whether or not kinesthetic
spatial perception was dominantly processed with the right
cerebral hemisphere as...
With the neuromuscular performance deficit typically associated with aging, the maximum rate of response of the individual is diminished with advancing age. Physical activity has recently been examined as a possible factor delaying the aging process as it relates to neuromuscular performance. This investigation examined folk dancing as a potential...
A method for measuring chemical reaction rates in order to
distinguish between different reaction mechanisms is presented.
This method was used to study zero -, first- and second -order reactions
by analyzing the output response to a sinusoidal input of
reactant concentrations in an isothermal continuous stirred tank
reactor.
The...
Year-round habitat use of marine predators provides knowledge of important marine areas throughout different life stages. Large-scale, environmental variability, both in space and time, causes changes in the behavior and distribution of marine predators that are important to quantify for conservation. In the Northern California Current System (NCCS), common murres...
