Effect Of Unloading On Myofiber Profiles In Male And Female Rats, Hailey Ramsey
Effect Of Unloading On Myofiber Profiles In Male And Female Rats, Hailey Ramsey
Science Research Symposium
Many injuries and surgeries result in necessary muscle unloading to aid in recovery. It is known that muscle unloading can lead to muscle atrophy1. A previous study conducted in this lab found that females suffer greater decline in strength than males, as a result of unloading1. Another experiment confirmed that females are more susceptible to adaptations due to unloading and suggested that this is caused by the neural drive from the central nervous system2. This study aims to explain what causes the gender-related discrepancy in strength after unloading by looking at the effect of …

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics, the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the United States are chronic diseases, including heart disease, lung disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease and diabetes. There has been recent attention paid to the role that higher levels of physical activity and lower levels of physical inactivity can play in the prevention and management of chronic disease. As a result of the strength of this evidence, the American College of Sports Medicine, in partnership with the American Medical Association, created the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) initiative. The goal …

College student are often faced with new challenges upon arrival to campus, including making independent decisions about their health and wellness.
As students face new academic and social responsibilities, issues with time management and stress often compromise many students abilities to adopt and maintain health promoting behaviors, including eating well and participating in regular physical activity. The adoption of less health promoting behaviors is associated with increases in rates of illness, increases in weight, adoption of poor sleeping patterns and increasingly poor stress management.
As such, knowledge of the importance of proper nutrition and physical activity/ exercise for optimal health …

Service-Learning Program
Purpose: To empower campus employees to help them improve and maintain healthier lifestyles through increased physical activity and healthier eating habits. Learning goals: Students are expected to understand the Social Cognitive Theory and how it applies to interventions targeted at improving health behavior. Students will also learn and understand key issues related to health promotion with a diverse population.
