The effects of static and dynamic stretching on reaction time and performance in a countermovement jump

Creator:: Perrier, Erica Taylor
Abstract:: PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to quantify the effects of a warm-up with static or dynamic stretching on countermovement jump height, reaction time, muscle onsets for tibialis anterior (TA) and vastus lateralis (VL), and low back/ hamstring flexibility. METHODS: Twenty one recreationally-active males (24.4 ± 4.5 yrs), recruited...

Digit Span Ratio, Joint Laxity, and Muscular Strength as Predisposing Factors for Female ACL Injuries

Creator:: Cohen, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Females more commonly injure their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in athletics than do males. Despite many studies researching anatomical, neuromuscular, and hormonal causes, the predisposing risk factors behind this occurrence are currently unknown. This study compared 5 females who had injured their ACL to 15 healthy females concentrating on three...

The effects of whole body vibration on the neuromuscular system

Creator:: Hong, Junggi
Abstract:: Recently, changes in human performance following whole-body vibration (WBV) training have been attributed to enhanced neuromuscular function. However, the exact neural and muscular mechanisms responsible for these changes remain less understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of whole body vibration on the...

A 60 Second Exposure of Whole Body Vibration has no Effect on Muscular Strength or Vertical Jump Height.

Creator:: Welch, John D.
Abstract:: For more than 30 years, researchers have investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) platforms on athletic performance. WBV is a modality in which an individual stands on a vibrating platform to obtain performance effects. Frequency and amplitude of the vibration are the commonly adjusted parameters. The use of...

The effects of plyometrics on neuromuscular control

Creator:: Doeringer, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on both spinal and supraspinal motor control as well as the rate of torque development (RTD) in healthy active females. Thirty-one subjects were recruited to participate in the study and participated in either the training or control...

The neuromuscular effects of a long-term static stretching program on the human soleus

Creator:: Hayes, Bradley T.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of a long-term static stretching program on flexibility and spinal reflexes in the human soleus muscle. Day-to-day reliability over two days of H-reflex gain (Hslp/Mslp) and pre-synaptic inhibition of spinal reflexes in the human soleus was measured in an initial...

Plant architectural barriers to feeding site selection by the meadow spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius (L.)

Creator:: Hoffman, George D.
Abstract:: While current theories describing the insect-plant interaction have emphasized the biochemical aspects of the relationship, morphological components can also play a significant role in determining which plants or tissues are susceptible to insect attack. Xylem sap on which spittlebugs feed may lack many of the plant compounds responsible for host...

Numerical solution of Hodgkin-Huxley's partial differential system for nerve conduction

Creator:: Morton, John Baird
Abstract:: A numerical solution to Hodgkin and Huxley's partial differential system for the propagated action potential is presented. In addition a three dimensional demonstration of the absolute refractory period is given. Lastly, theoretical evidence supporting Rushton's hypothesis is presented.

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...
