The Effects Of Exercise Training On Insulin Supply And Demand In Breast Cancer Survivors, Richard Viskochil
The Effects Of Exercise Training On Insulin Supply And Demand In Breast Cancer Survivors, Richard Viskochil
Doctoral Dissertations
Elevated insulin concentrations may influence cancer and cardiometabolic disease onset and prognosis, and lower insulin levels after exercise may contribute to disease prevention and overall health. The effect of exercise training on systemic and tissue-specific insulin supply and demand in breast cancer survivors and adults at risk for cardiometabolic disease is unclear. The objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the effects of exercise training on postmeal insulin concentrations in breast cancer survivors, and identify mechanisms responsible for changes to insulin supply and demand following exercise training in breast cancer survivors and adults at risk for cardiometabolic disease.

Influence Of Patient Satisfaction Of Total Knee Replacement Patients On Stair Negotiation And Walking Biomechanics, Strength, And Balance, Kevin Alan Valenzuela
Influence Of Patient Satisfaction Of Total Knee Replacement Patients On Stair Negotiation And Walking Biomechanics, Strength, And Balance, Kevin Alan Valenzuela
Doctoral Dissertations
Total knee replacement (TKR) patients have shown alterations in lower extremity biomechanics during level ground walking and stair negotiation, strength levels, and balance abilities, however, it is unknown how dissatisfied TKR patients compare to satisfied TKR patients in these activities. Study One examined the lower extremity biomechanics of dissatisfied and satisfied TKR patients during level ground walking. Study Two investigated knee biomechanics during stair ascent and descent activities. Study Three compared isokinetic strength, balance abilities, deep knee flexion abilities, and functional abilities of the dissatisfied patients to the satisfied patients. Study Four performed a logistic regression as a means of …
