Leg Lean Mass Adaptations Following Short-Term Barbell Training In Women, Jacob A. Mota, Matt S. Stock, Kendra D. Olinghouse, Alexander S. Drusch, Brennan J. Thompson
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Participation in a resistance training program results in both neural adaptations and increases in lean body mass, the latter of which is considered a slow process. The majority of previous investigations that have examined the time course associated with muscular adaptations have utilized exercise machines or single-joint movements. Furthermore, the adaptations associated with resistance training in women are not as well understood as those for men. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of a four week resistance training intervention on changes in leg lean mass in untrained, college-aged women. Thirty-five women (mean ± SD age = …
The Effects Of Heading On Neurocognitive Function In Female Collegiate Soccer Players During An Entire Soccer Season, Sarah E. Nonaka, Scott Mclean, Jimmy Smith
The Effects Of Heading On Neurocognitive Function In Female Collegiate Soccer Players During An Entire Soccer Season, Sarah E. Nonaka, Scott Mclean, Jimmy Smith
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Recently, much debate has occurred regarding the effects of repeated heading by soccer players on their neurocognitive function. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of heading on neurocognitive function in female collegiate soccer players during an entire soccer season. METHODS: Twenty-four members of the 2012 Southwestern University Women’s Soccer team completed the ImPACT test during preseason and postseason, and self-reported the number of headers for the week immediately prior to each testing session. Amount of playing time for each player was determined from records obtained from the Southwestern University Athletics Department. The six composite scores and the cognitive efficiency index from …
Injuries And Physical Limitations In Division I Female Collegiate Athletes, Kelly A. Brooks
Injuries And Physical Limitations In Division I Female Collegiate Athletes, Kelly A. Brooks
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The NCAA conducted research regarding incidence of injury among collegiate sports teams from 1988 to 2004. Although this study was comprehensive, more research is needed about female athletes, especially on major and chronic injuries and the limitations they pose on athletes in both the present and the future. PURPOSE: To compare the incidence of injury and current physical limitations between women’s soccer, volleyball, and softball. METHODS: A survey was given to 44 Division I female soccer, volleyball, and softball athletes to inquire about injury status and physical limitations. Minor and major injuries, as well as those requiring surgery were specified …
