Retrospective Analysis Of Injuries And Persisting Injury Effects Among Students Who Have Participated In Club Sports And Intramural Activities During The Prior Year, Daylia Wallace
Honors Theses
Research suggests that previous injury and history of sport-related concussion place athletes at a greater risk for subsequent injury. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the validity of self-perceived wellness and performance capabilities survey responses for retrospective classification of the injury risk status of individual athletes as a means to estimate risk magnitude for intramural and club sport athletes. The surveys used to collect this data were the Sport Fitness Index (SFI), Overall Wellness Index (OWI), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Survey (DASS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The SFI was a strong discriminator (AUC= .728) …
Potential Relationships Between Lower Extremity Structural Alignment And Toe Angle During Static And Dynamic Activities, Mark Britt
Honors Theses
Background: The influence of lower extremity structural alignment on foot progression angle (FPA) and toe-out angle (TOA) has been measured, however foot structure has not been included in this analysis. No studies to our knowledge have assessed the influence of lower quarter structure on standing toe-out angle or during dynamic tasks such as squatting. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the potential influence of longitudinal arch angle (LAA) and weight-bearing dorsiflexion in addition to passive hip internal rotation (HIR) and thigh foot angle (TFA) on the following activities: standing TOA, FPA (walking TOA), forward arm squat TOA, …

Exercise And Physical Self-Perception: Effects Of A Twelve Week Fitness Walking Program On Self-Reported Fitness Level Of College Students, Kristin M. Connell
Exercise And Physical Self-Perception: Effects Of A Twelve Week Fitness Walking Program On Self-Reported Fitness Level Of College Students, Kristin M. Connell
Honors Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine if any changes occurred in the health-related components of physical fitness during a sixteen week walking course at a southern university campus. In addition, the study noted the changes which occurred in the student's perception of his/her fitness level, as assessed by questionnaire, and the relationship between actual fitness and perceived fitness level.
