Whole Body Fuel Use: A Preliminary Study Of Carbohydrate And Fat Oxidation During Water Exercise, Heather Gerrish, Laura Miller, Mitchell Fisher, Debra D'Acquisto
Whole Body Fuel Use: A Preliminary Study Of Carbohydrate And Fat Oxidation During Water Exercise, Heather Gerrish, Laura Miller, Mitchell Fisher, Debra D'Acquisto
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The purpose of this investigation was to measure energy expenditure and whole body carbohydrate and fat oxidation during shallow water exercise (SWE; submerged to axillary level). The level of energy expenditure and the relative contribution of fuels (e.g., carbohydrate [CHO], fat) depends on the intensity of exercise effort. This descriptive study addressed two questions: (1) what is the energy expenditure of performing SWE over a range of intensities; and (2) how does the rate of CHO and fat usage change with increasingly more demanding SWE efforts. Five healthy females (ages 18 to 26 years) performed five submaximal and one maximal …
Nutrient Intake Of Elite Canadian And American Athletes With Spinal Cord Injury, Heather Gerrish
Nutrient Intake Of Elite Canadian And American Athletes With Spinal Cord Injury, Heather Gerrish
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
The nutrient needs of spinal cord injury (SCI) athletes are dependent on their physiological alterations, training load, and intensity of practice. Limited research is available regarding the current nutrient intake of SCI elite athletes, possible nutrient deficiencies, and geographical consumption patterns. The purpose of this study was to examine the diets of Canadian (CAN), n=12, and American (USA), n=27, elite athletes with SCI from the United States Paralympic Canadian Sport Institute utilizing a self-reported 24-hour diet recall. Nutrient inadequacy was estimated by the proportion of athletes with mean intakes below the estimated average requirement (EAR) using the Research Solutions Food …
Acceptability Of Adding Pea Powder Protein To Pumpkin Spice Muffins To Make A Good Source And Excellent Source Of Protein, Jami Marzano, Samantha Johnson, Cassandra Weldon
Acceptability Of Adding Pea Powder Protein To Pumpkin Spice Muffins To Make A Good Source And Excellent Source Of Protein, Jami Marzano, Samantha Johnson, Cassandra Weldon
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
Consuming recommended amounts of protein is vital to ensure adequate health and proper function of the body. Specific populations, such as vegans and vegetarians, may find consuming recommended amounts of protein from the diet challenging. Therefore, the addition of alternative sources of protein in baked goods was the primary focus in this study. Pea powder protein isolate, from the dry yellow pea, was utilized. Pumpkin spice muffins were manipulated to contain various amounts of pea powder protein to create a good source of protein and an excellent source of protein compared to a control containing no added protein. Data were …
The Effects Of A Vegetarian Diet On Dietary Iron Intake In Adolescent Female Endurance Athletes, Tucker Reiley, Heather Gerrish, Meghan Varner
The Effects Of A Vegetarian Diet On Dietary Iron Intake In Adolescent Female Endurance Athletes, Tucker Reiley, Heather Gerrish, Meghan Varner
Symposium Of University Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE)
A chief concern for female endurance athletes is adequate iron status which is partially determined by iron and vitamin C intake. This study examines the impact of diet on iron intake in adolescent female cross country runners. Animal-based iron sources are recognized as being better absorbed and more bioavailable than non-animal-based sources. Additionally, vitamin C promotes iron absorption. In this study, the independent variable was defined as a vegetarian diet (one excluding meat, fish, and poultry), with the control being a non-vegetarian diet. The hypothesis was that vegetarian cross country runners would have lower mean iron intakes than non-vegetarians. Data …
A Comparison Of Markers Of Iron Status Between Vegetarian And Non-Vegetarian Female High School Cross Country Runners. Is Routine, Pre-Season Screening Warranted?, Edward J. Callahan Jr.
A Comparison Of Markers Of Iron Status Between Vegetarian And Non-Vegetarian Female High School Cross Country Runners. Is Routine, Pre-Season Screening Warranted?, Edward J. Callahan Jr.
All Master's Theses
The purpose of the present study is to determine whether the circulating markers of iron status differ between vegetarian or non-vegetarian adolescent female high school cross-country runners. Fifteen non-vegetarian and six vegetarian female cross-country runners completed questionnaires used to obtain anthropometric data, health history, menstrual status, diet history and training history. Dietary intake was determined by self-report, using a food frequency questionnaire and a 3-day diet record. Blood samples were analyzed for serum iron, total iron binding capacity, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation. No significant difference was found between vegetarians and non-vegetarians for serum iron or transferrin saturation. However, TIBC …
Investigation Into School Lunch Quality Following Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act Implementation, Katherine N. Smith
Investigation Into School Lunch Quality Following Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act Implementation, Katherine N. Smith
All Master's Theses
The relationship between school lunch quality and the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA) revised nutrition standards was investigated. School Lunches from four Washington State elementary schools that earned HealthierUS School Challenge awards. Nutrition content of the meals selected and consumed was assessed using before and after digital photos. Meals were scored using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to determine meal quality. Results were based on 1033 lunches (509 pre-HHFKA in Spring 2012 and 524 in Spring 2013) and revealed improved HEI scores for most components post-HHFKA implementation school lunches both served and consumed. Implications of the differences in HEI …
Community Readiness Assessment: Applications For Community Nutrition Research, Whitney E. Houser
Community Readiness Assessment: Applications For Community Nutrition Research, Whitney E. Houser
All Master's Theses
Trends in qualitative community nutrition research demonstrate a powerful, emerging perspective in the midst of a field historically dominated by quantitative methods of inquiry. For this qualitative study, ten key respondents were purposively selected and interviewed using the Community Readiness Model (CRM) to capture community knowledge of food insecurity issues and strategies. Data were analyzed using anchored rating scales, revealing readiness at a stage three, characterized by a vague awareness of local food insecurity. The purpose of this study is to report on the strengths and challenges of the CRM experienced when utilizing the model to address food insecurity. The …
