Effect Of Pseudoephedrine On 800-Meter Run Times Of Ncaa Division I Women Athletes, Caroline Berry
Effect Of Pseudoephedrine On 800-Meter Run Times Of Ncaa Division I Women Athletes, Caroline Berry
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Pseudoephedrine is an over-the-counter drug commonly used as a decongestant, but also thought to have ergogenic effects. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has prohibited large doses (> 150 μg∙ml-1) of pseudoephedrine, while the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) does not include it on the banned substance list. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of body weight dosing of pseudoephedrine on 800-m run times of NCAA female runners. Fifteen NCAA female track runners volunteered to participate in the randomized, double blind, crossover design. In trials that were a week apart, participants were given both 2.5 …
A Comparison Of Muscular Activation During The Back Squat And Deadlift To The Countermovement Jump, David Robbins Cscs, Nasm-Cpt
A Comparison Of Muscular Activation During The Back Squat And Deadlift To The Countermovement Jump, David Robbins Cscs, Nasm-Cpt
SHU Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the back squat (BS) or deadlift (DL) is most similar to the countermovement jump (CMJ) in terms of peak muscular activation. The muscles assessed in this study were the erector spinae (ES), gluteus maximus (GM), biceps femoris (BF), vastus medialis (VM), and gastrocnemius (GN). These five muscles were chosen do to their involvement in all of these exercises. Ten college-aged males (24±1.18yrs) with a minimum of 1 year strength training experience volunteered for this study. Participants must have been strength trained and could BS and DL 1.5 x bodyweight. Results showed …
The Acute Effect Of Self-Myofascial Release On Lower Extremity Plyometric Performance, Brian J. Fama, David R. Bueti
The Acute Effect Of Self-Myofascial Release On Lower Extremity Plyometric Performance, Brian J. Fama, David R. Bueti
SHU Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of a Foam Roller (FR) warm up routine and a dynamic warm-up routine on strength, power, and reactive power using a squat jump (SJ) countermovement jump (CMJ) and depth jump (DJ). Nine college aged recreational males with a minimum of 1-year experience in plyometric training completed the study. Following baseline testing, subjectswere randomly assigned to a warm up protocol on the second session of the study and then completed the otherprotocol on the third day of the study. The best of three jumps were recorded. RMANOVA revealed a significant …
Force Characteristics In Different Shoe Designs, Bryson Nakamura
Force Characteristics In Different Shoe Designs, Bryson Nakamura
Summer Research
Women’s shoes are known to be constructed from the same parameters as men’s shoes but on a smaller scale. However, foot and gait characteristics are different between genders The purpose of this study was to determine if mid-sole design has an effect on ground reaction force characteristics during running, cutting and jumping motions. Twenty-two apparently healthy female (73.8±8.4 kg; 1.74±0.06 m) and seven male (73.5±5.3 kg; 1.68±0.02 m) current or recently graduated NCAA Division III athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects wore four shoes with different mid-sole designs while performing five different actions: running, cutting, shuffling, back cut and …
