Learning To Jump Like Corbin Bleu: The Physics Behind Jump Rope, Caroline Camfield
Learning To Jump Like Corbin Bleu: The Physics Behind Jump Rope, Caroline Camfield
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This project seeks to determine how engineering can be applied to the sport of jump rope so that athletes may better understand the science behind the sport and apply it to improve their performance in “speed jumping.” This style of jump rope consists of a jumper alternating their feet, with the rope passing under them with each step. Several types of ropes, handles, rope lengths, and widths between a jumper’s handles were tested to determine correlations between each variable and different STEM concept. These findings were then transitioned into a lesson plan so that both the jumpers and coaches could …

An Evaluation Of The Recreation Interest Of Hopkins County Middle School Students, Tricia Jordan
An Evaluation Of The Recreation Interest Of Hopkins County Middle School Students, Tricia Jordan
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of this study is to identify potential recreational activity interests of Hopkins County middle school students, thereby assisting the Hopkins County Family YMCA in teen program development. In addition, the study investigates potential constraints these students encounter. One hundred and twenty-five students from four public middle schools participated in the recreation needs assessment. The recreation needs assessment instrument consisted of five activity categories (arts and crafts activities; dance, drama, and music activities; literary activities; nature activities; and sports and games). Category activity selections were limited to those activities the Hopkins County Family YMCA was willing and/or capable of …

Six Volleyball Skill Tests As A Predictor Of Game Performance, Donetta J. Cothran
Six Volleyball Skill Tests As A Predictor Of Game Performance, Donetta J. Cothran
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of six selected volleyball skill tests to actual volleyball game performance. The six skill test items were administered to 64 subjects, who were all members of a college level introductory volleyball course. Based on the ratings of a panel of experts, subjects were rated during game play as good, average, or poor performers.
The stepwise discriminant analysis was used to analyze the relationship between skill tests and game performance. Four of the six skill tests were identified as significantly contributing to group membership. These tests, in order of the magnitude …
A Comparison Of Traditional Grass-Twist Backstops To One Of Corrugated Cardboard Design Use On Indoor Ranges, Charles T. Crume Jr.
A Comparison Of Traditional Grass-Twist Backstops To One Of Corrugated Cardboard Design Use On Indoor Ranges, Charles T. Crume Jr.
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study presents the results of a comparison of traditional grass-twist backstops frequently used on indoor ranges with one of corrugated cardboard design. The findings indicate that the corrugated cardboard design is substantially superior.
The four factors selected for testing were:
- Arrow pass-through levels and subsequent arrow repair costs
- Arrow penetration levels, tested over several distances and using several bow weights
- Arrow-stopping potential with beginning and inexperienced archers
- Storage
Testing showed the first three factors supporting the corrugated cardboard design. The last factor, storage, was found to be about equally supportive of both designs.
Several recommendations are made. These recommendations …
The Effects Of Weight Of Projectile & Arm Segment Lengths On The Accuracy Of The Overarm Throw, Michael Hickey
The Effects Of Weight Of Projectile & Arm Segment Lengths On The Accuracy Of The Overarm Throw, Michael Hickey
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating whether there was (1) a significant relationship between the length of the segments of the throwing arm and the accuracy of the overarm throw, and (2) a significant difference in the accuracy of the overarm throw when the weight of the ball was varied.
Physical Working Capacity Of Adult Men Resulting From A Progressive Aerobics Program, Gary Kaye
Physical Working Capacity Of Adult Men Resulting From A Progressive Aerobics Program, Gary Kaye
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study was designed to determine the effects of a progressive aerobics training program on the physical working capacity of adults as measured on the bicycle ergometer.
The following hypotheses were tested:
- A progressive aerobics training program does not increase physical working capacity (PWC).
- A progressive aerobics training program has no effect on resting, exercise or recovery heart rate.
- A progressive aerobics training program does not increase predicted maximum oxygen consumption (VO2).
