3-Hydroxy-2-(4- Methylphenyl)-4h-Chromen-4-One, Clifford W. Padgett, Will E. Lynch, Kirkland Sheriff, Raven Dean, Sarah Zingales

Chemistry: Faculty Publications (1990-2023)

Our work in the area of carbon-monoxide-releasing mol­ecules led to the synthesis and crystallization of new flavone derivatives as inter­mediates. Herein we report the first crystal structure of the title compound, C16H12O3, a hy­droxy-substituted flavone where the 2-phenyl group has been replaced by a p-tolyl group. The introduction of the 3-hy­droxy group allows the formation of inter­molecular O—H...O=C hydrogen bonds, used to build centrosymmetric R22(10) ring motifs in the crystal.

Stretch Could Reduce Hamstring Injury Risk During Sprinting By Right Shifting The Length-Torque Curve, Mianfang Ruan, Li Li, Chen Chen, Xie Wu

Health Sciences & Kinesiology: Faculty Publications

Stretch could reduce hamstring injury risk during sprinting by right shifting the length-torque curve. J Strength Cond Res 32(8): 2190–2198, 2018—It was hypothesized that static stretch would shift the length-torque curve to the right, which may reduce the risk of muscle strain injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of static stretching of hamstring (SSH) on the risk of hamstring injury during sprinting indicated by the shift of the length–torque relationship. Twelve female college athletes (age: 20.8 ± 0.7 years; height: 1.61 ± 0.05 m; body mass: 54.25 ± 4.22 kg) participated in this study. …
