The Effect Of A 10 Week Isometric Handgrip Training Protocol On Blood Pressure (Resting And Ambulatory) And Cardiovascular Reactivity In Young, Normotensive Individuals, Yasina Begum Somani
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The primary purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that in young, normotensive men and women, 10 weeks of isometric handgrip (IHG) training (3X/ week) would 1) elicit reductions in ambulatory blood pressure (BP), concomitant to reductions in resting BP, and 2) these reductions would be predicted by cardiovascular reactivity to standard laboratory stress tasks (e.g. IHG task, IHGT; a 2 minute sustained isometric contraction). Reductions in 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime systolic ambulatory BP were observed following IHG training in both men (n=13) and women (n=11, P0.05), were associated with pre-training systolic BP reactivity to the IHGT (P
The Effect Of An Isometric Strength Training Protocol On Valgus Angle During A Drop-Jump Landing In Elite Female Volleyball Players, Kaitlin Jackson
The Effect Of An Isometric Strength Training Protocol On Valgus Angle During A Drop-Jump Landing In Elite Female Volleyball Players, Kaitlin Jackson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purposes of this study were to a) strengthen the gluteal and hamstring muscles of 14 elite female volleyball players via a six week isometric strength training program to b) determine changes in peak knee valgus angle, c) determine any changes in tibial acceleration, and d) determine changes in vertical ground reaction forces at peak valgus angle during a drop-jump landing task. Significant strength increases were seen in hip extension (20.5%), abduction (27.5%), and knee flexion (23.5%) in the training group. No significant group changes were observed for knee valgus angle, tibial acceleration, or ground reaction forces. Notable significant individual …
