The Effects Of Quadmill Training On Balance: An Intervention Study 2017, Alexander J. Generali
The Effects Of Quadmill Training On Balance: An Intervention Study 2017, Alexander J. Generali
Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to observe and compare the effects of two separate training interventions using the QuadmillTM to a control group on balance in college-aged individuals. It was hypothesized that both experimental groups (I1 and I2) would experience improvements in balance over the intervention whereas the control group would remain at baseline. It was secondarily hypothesized that I2 would experience greater improvements than I1 in balance due to the nature of the exercise protocol. Data was collected using three systems; Balance Tracking Systems, Star Excursion Balance Test, and the Biodex Balance system. A two-way mixed methods ANOVA …
Differences In Muscle Activation While Gripping A Sandbag Versus An Olympic Weightlifting Bar 2015, Todd Luther
Differences In Muscle Activation While Gripping A Sandbag Versus An Olympic Weightlifting Bar 2015, Todd Luther
Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to compare the myoelectric activity of the extensor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, and opponens pollicis muscles while gripping a 50 lb Olympic weightlifting bar to the myoelectric activity of the same muscles while gripping a sandbag of the same weight. Myoelectric activity was measured as the average root mean square (RMS) of the surface electromyography (sEMG) values. The hypothesis was that gripping a sandbag would result in greater muscle activation of the extensor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, and opponens pollicis muscles than gripping an Olympic weightlifting …
