The Effects Of Fatigue On Biomechanics Of Soccer Shooting, Hyunwook Lee
The Effects Of Fatigue On Biomechanics Of Soccer Shooting, Hyunwook Lee
Master’s Theses and Projects
Soccer is reputedly the most popular sport in the world with over 40 million registered players. Because soccer is a sport that is played mainly with the use of lower extremity, it is important to know about the fatigue in lower extremity and how muscle fatigue affects to the performance such as kicking, shooting, and passing. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fatigue on the kinematic changes in the lower extremity in soccer shooting. Six competitive collegiate male soccer players (n = 6) participated in this study (height: 1.76 ± 0.06 m; weight: 71.38 ± …
The Effects Of Fatigue On Biomechanics Of Heading Performance In Soccer, Seunguk Han
The Effects Of Fatigue On Biomechanics Of Heading Performance In Soccer, Seunguk Han
Master’s Theses and Projects
Soccer is one of the high intermittent sports, in which the athletes perform various activities of different intensities over a prolonged period. One of the most important and potentially dangerous skills in soccer is heading because it can potentially cause concussion if it is not executed correctly. Even though coaches and practitioners recognize that heading the ball is one of the factors to cause concussion, there are few studies that have examined the kinematics of head and neck motion while performing heading skill. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of short period fatigue on the …
Effects Of Kinesio Tex Tape On Knee Injuries In Collegiate Athletes, Victoria L. Cooley
Effects Of Kinesio Tex Tape On Knee Injuries In Collegiate Athletes, Victoria L. Cooley
Master’s Theses and Projects
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of KinesioTex Tape on knee conditions in collegiate athletes. Specifically, the study examined the effects of KinesioTex Tape on pain and effusion in patients with patella related knee conditions at Bridgewater State University. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to measure pain and a measuring tape was used to measure the circumference of the knee. It was hypothesized that KinesioTex tape would decrease the amount of pain and effusion in patella related knee conditions in collegiate athletes. A total of 3 participants were recruited to take part in the …
Effects Of Chiropractic Adjustment On Malalignment Of Posture And Lumbosacral Complex Pain, Annie W. S. Chen
Effects Of Chiropractic Adjustment On Malalignment Of Posture And Lumbosacral Complex Pain, Annie W. S. Chen
Master’s Theses and Projects
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chiropractic adjustments on malalignment of the posture and lumbosacral complex pain. About fifty billion dollars a year was spent on treatment of lower back pain in about 80% of the population.1 Athletes at Bridgewater State University were used as participant in the study during a chiropractic clinic at the Tinsley athletic training room. The method used to collect data was using Coach My Video and Dartfish apps on the IPad to capture footage to analyze the pre and post effects of chiropractic adjustments. The Dartfish app was used …
Lower Body Kinematic Comparisons Between Front And Back Squats In Response To Loads, Joosung Kim
Lower Body Kinematic Comparisons Between Front And Back Squats In Response To Loads, Joosung Kim
Master’s Theses and Projects
The squat is considered as one of the most popular exercises prescribed by therapists, athletic trainers, researchers, coaches, and athletes for injury prevention and strength and conditioning. People commonly associate the squat exercise as the back squat. However, the front squat has been advocated to reduce the stress to the lower back while increasing the leg strength. The proper front squat technique and the changes in the spine and lower extremity joints in response to load mass are still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the lower body kinematic comparisons between front and back squat exercises …
