Comparisons Of Static And Dynamic Balance Following Training In Aquatic And Land Environments, Aimee E. Roth, Michael G. Miller, Marc Richard, Donna Ritenour, Brenda L. Chapman
Human Performance and Health Education Faculty Research
Context: It has been theorized that aquatic balance training differs from land balance
training. Objective: To compare the effects of balance training in aquatic and
land environments. Design: Between-groups, repeated-measures design. Setting:
Biomechanics laboratory and pool. Participants: 24 healthy subjects randomly
assigned to aquatic (n = 8), land (n = 10), or control (n = 6) groups. Intervention:
Four weeks of balance training. Main Outcome Measures: Balance was measured
(pre, mid, post, follow-up). COP variables: radial area, y range, x range in single
leg (SL), tandem (T), single leg foam (SLF), and tandem form (TF) stance. Results:
A significant condition …

Analysis Of Aahperd Research Abstracts Published Under Special Populations From 1968 To 2004, Jiabei Zhang
Human Performance and Health Education Faculty Research
The purpose of this study was to explore historical research trends in adapted physical activity by analyzing abstracts published under special populations by AAHPERD conventions from 1968 to 2004. There were 562 abstracts retrieved that were coded into seven categories: (a) number of authors, (b) data source, (c) sample size, (d) disability type, (e) data analysis, (f) type of study, and (g) focus of study. The coded data are presented as descriptive statistics and linear regression equations. The results of descriptive statistics describe an overall picture of the knowledge accumulation in adapted physical activity. The results of linear regression equations …
