  • Strength Training for Triathletes : Blending Anecdotal and Empirical Evidence to Improve Triathlon Performance

    Creator:
    Le, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    Triathlon is an endurance sport consisting of back-to-back swimming, cycling, and running. There are four popular distances: sprint (.75k m swim, 20km bike, 5km run), Olympic (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run), half-ironman (1.9km swim, 90km bike, 21.1km run), and ironman (3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42.2km run). Even at the...

  • The metabolic and clinical responses of Arabian horses with exertional rhabdomyolysis to a standardized field exercise test

    Creator:
    Eyrich, Lauren V.
    Abstract:
    Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER), or the occurrence of muscle damage with exercise, is prevalent among Arabian horses, the most common breed participating in endurance racing. The cause and pathogenesis of this disease has yet to be determined, and due to the potential for significant morbidity and even mortality associated with ER...

  • Serum biochemistry and immunoglobulin dynamics in multi-day endurance racing horses

    Creator:
    Esser, Melissa M.
    Abstract:
    Endurance riding reflects a relatively new sport among equine athletic disciplines and is growing rapidly. Of all the equine athletic disciplines, endurance riding is the most closely interrelated with veterinary assessment and control to ensure that horses are not exercised beyond their athletic capacity. As endurance riding competition has evolved,...

  • The efficacy and costs of plasma transfusion in naturally diseased horses

    Creator:
    Busby, Madeleine F.
    Abstract:
    Hypoproteinemia secondary to gastrointestinal disease in horses has traditionally been treated with the administration of colloids such as equine plasma or hetastarch. While plasma transfusion is common, evidence-based guidelines for its use in hypoproteinemic horses are lacking. This study involved prospective and retrospective components that aimed to weigh the efficacy...

  • Prevalence of Deficiency and Relationship of Management Practices to Vitamin E and Selenium Status in Horses

    Creator:
    Pitel, Mariya O.
    Abstract:
    Deficiency of selenium (Se) or alpha-tocopherol (E) creates serious health issues in horses. This study evaluated owner supplementation practices and their efficacy at preventing deficiency in a large population of horses. In addition, common clinical signs of horses presenting to a referral institution who had Se and E testing performed...

  • Visualizing Internalization of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles by Canine Osteosarcoma Cells

    Creator:
    Bilal, Jumanah
    Abstract:
    Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a primary malignant bone tumor sarcoma that occurs in dogs as well as people and has aggressive biologic behavior with devastating consequences. Because of the similarities in morphology and prognosis, OSA in dogs represents an effective model for the equivalent disease in humans. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)...

  • Hip loading during the squat exercise

    Creator:
    Haberly, Gabriel J.
    Abstract:
    Hip fractures have high mortality and morbidity rates after incidence, with osteoporosis being a major risk factor due to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Lower-body resistance exercises, such as squats, can provide sufficient loading on the hip to induce osteogenic effects. However, this loading may depend on how...

  • Factors Affecting Persistence of Canines at an Independent Task

    Creator:
    Brubaker, Lauren M.
    Abstract:
    The development of problem-solving behaviors in canines, including persistence, has implications for canine training, welfare, and the human-dog bond. Past research has shown that a variety of factors, including genetics (domestication) and training experience, play a role in a how a canine might behave during a problem-solving task. Less well...

  • A Field Test for the Estimation of Heart Rate at Lactate Threshold : The 30-minute Cycling Time Trial

    Creator:
    Partridge, Staci M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the 30-minute cycling time trial to estimate the heart rate at lactate threshold. Recreationally trained cyclists and triathletes (n = 47) performed 3 tests in random order: 1) One graded exercise test to directly determine lactate threshold...

  • Recharge@Work : a theory-based intervention to reduce sedentary behavior in desk-dependent office workers

    Creator:
    Lafrenz, Andrew Jon, 1980-
    Abstract:
    Over the past few decades, a primary focus has been on the negative health effects of not participating in regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MPVA). Only recently has sedentary behavior been studied as a distinct and independent risk factor for adverse health outcomes. This dissertation sought to provide new insights into...
