The Effect Of Combinations Of Mental Practice And Physical Practice On The Performance Of A Motor Skill., Ronald Milton Schaefer
Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs
The purpose of this study was to compare combinations of physical and mental practice methods in learning a motor skill. An experiment was conducted at the University of New Mexico to test the hypothesis that combinations of mental and physical practice would be just as affective learning methods as would the use of total physical practice. Thirty-nine male university students, selected from physical education activity classes, were put into one of four groups by a method of random selection. The four groups used in the experiment were: control, physical, and two combination groups. The two combination groups practiced the motor …

An Energy Expenditure Comparison Between Treadmill And Track Running, Peter John Maud
Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs
This research was undertaken in order to examine the relationship between the energy cost of running on the treadmill with running on the track at the same speed, for the same length of time and at the same grade. The running speed was 7.5 miles per hour, the grade zero and the duration of the run five minutes. The data used for the comparison between the two methods of running were collected over the last thirty seconds of the run. The two measures used in the comparison were oxygen uptake and heart rate, A. special apparatus was constructed for the …
