Effects Of Different Aerobic Training Techniques On Vital Capacity And Breath Hold, Luke Fickenworth, Jarrod Fair, Triet Le, Ashlynn Hickey

Aurora

Athletes are constantly looking for ways to increase their lung capacity. The larger the lung capacity, the more air, specifically oxygen, can be taken in by the athlete. Thus, increasing lung capacity increases endurance, allowing athletes to perform at a higher level for longer periods of time without feeling tired. If lung capacity remains the same while duration or intensity of activity increases, oxygen intake remains the same and there is more stress on the heart to get more oxygen to muscles and remove waste (Rathi 2014). This study will test breath hold time and vital capacity in order to …


A Comparison Of Dynamic Balance In Male And Female Collegiate Soccer And Lacrosse Athletes, Elizabeth Carter, Brandon Bartlome May 2020

A Comparison Of Dynamic Balance In Male And Female Collegiate Soccer And Lacrosse Athletes, Elizabeth Carter, Brandon Bartlome

Aurora

Context: Deficits in dynamic balance have been a strong predictor of lower extremity injury. Lower extremity dynamic balance between gender and sport have been examined but there is inconclusive data that supports a difference.

Purpose: To determine a difference in dynamic balance between NCAA DIII men’s and women's soccer/lacrosse using the modified star excursion balance test (SEBT).

Design: Dynamic balance assessment using the modified SEBT. Subjects have one test and will complete 3 trials using their dominant leg. Average score of the 3 trials will be used in our analysis.

Setting: Subjects will be evaluated in a controlled clinical environment …

Identifying Metabolites As Markers Of Fatigue In Athletes, Christopher D. George Jan 2020

Identifying Metabolites As Markers Of Fatigue In Athletes, Christopher D. George

Honors Theses

Fatigue in athletes caused by inadequate rest and other stressors can be severely detrimental to their health, and yet there is no reliable way to measure and track fatigue. Many classical measures of fatigue like body mass and resting heart rate are not reliable ways to track the physical fatigue of an athlete because they can change with many factors. In addition, it is not known how academic stress on top of physical stress affects fatigue. Metabolomics is a relatively new area of study and tracking metabolites offers the possibility to produce biomarkers to assess fatigue. This study collected saliva …
