Adolescents' Expectancy Beliefs And Task Values For Physically Interactive Video Games, Andrew James Mcgregor
Adolescents' Expectancy Beliefs And Task Values For Physically Interactive Video Games, Andrew James Mcgregor
LSU Master's Theses
The health benefits associated with appropriate levels of physical activity are well documented, but a large percentage of the population is not sufficiently active to attain those health benefits. Children are also not as active as they should be, and their activity levels decline during adolescence. Given that childhood activity patterns are likely to persist into adulthood, it is important to investigate ways to encourage children and adolescents to be physically active. Since virtually all school students participate in physical education programs, one way to do that is to explore ways that physical education programs can motivate children to be …

The Effectiveness Of A Natural Carbohydrate Source (Sun-Dried Raisins) Versus Sports Jelly Beans On Prolonged Cycling Performance, Helena Rietschier
LSU Master's Theses
PURPOSE: This study was designed to examine the effects of sun-dried raisins versus sports jellybeans on endurance performance in trained cyclists/triathletes. METHODS: Ten healthy males (18-33 y) completed one water-only acclimatization (WAT) exercise trial and two randomized exercise trials. Each trial consisted of a 120-minute constant intensity glycogen depletion period followed by a 10-km time trial (TT). During each experimental trial, participants consumed isocaloric amounts of sun-dried raisins (SDR) or Sports Jelly Beans(SJB) in 20-minute intervals. Measurements included: time to complete 10-km TT, power output during 10-km TT, blood glucose levels and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) during glycogen depletion period, …
