Validity Of Body Volume Estimates From A Smartphone 3-Dimensional Scanning Application, Ethan G. Tinoco, Christian Rodriguez, Madelin R. Siedler, Christian Lavalle, Christine M. Florez, Sarah White, Alexandra Brojanac, Jaylynn Rasco, Gabrielle Dehaven, Grant M. Tinsley
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Body volume (BV) indicates the total 3-dimensional (3D) space an individual occupies. BV is either used alongside body mass in density-based two-compartment models or in conjunction with other body components in multi-compartment models to estimate body composition (BC). BV estimates are typically produced by costly laboratory methods, such as hydrostatic weighing or air-displacement plethysmography (ADP). However, more accessible options are emerging. Smartphone-based 3D scanning uses the phone’s built-in camera to provide a BV estimate in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner. However, few investigations have validated this method against an accepted laboratory technique. PURPOSE: To determine the validity of BV from …
The Influence Of Smoothness And Speed Of Stand-To-Sit Movement On Joint Kinematics And Kinetics During Stand-To-Sit, Daniel Cabrera, Kathryn Smith
The Influence Of Smoothness And Speed Of Stand-To-Sit Movement On Joint Kinematics And Kinetics During Stand-To-Sit, Daniel Cabrera, Kathryn Smith
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Stand-to-sit (StandTS) is a crucial daily activity commonly used in rehabilitation settings to improve strength, postural stability, and mobility. Modifications in the movement smoothness and speed significantly influence the kinematics and kinetics of this movement. For example, rough and rapid movements result in dynamic changes in joint angles and force production patterns from each joint. Therefore, understanding the impact of speed and smoothness in StandTS movement on kinematics and kinetics can provide valuable insights for designing effective and tailored rehabilitation training programs. PURPOSE: To examine the impact of smoothness and speed in StandTS movements on joint kinematics, kinetics, and …

Does 24-48 Or 48-96 Promote Better Rem Sleep Within Firefighters?, Ernesto Balderrama Jr, Raquel J. Cavazos, Cheyenne Martinez, Bryan G. Meek, Hussien K. Jabai, Vipa Bernhardt, Michael D. Oldham
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
A firefighter’s work schedule can be very demanding regardless if they work 24 hours followed by a 48-hour time off schedule or a 48-hour on followed by a 96-hour time off. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep could be the deciding factor of how well a firefighter can perform following a certain work schedule. REM sleep is associated with the mental activity of dreaming; an individual averages 20-25% REM sleep of their total sleep time (Carskadon & Dement, 2005). REM is important for recovery because it can impact cognitive functions such as impulse control and decision making (Brunet, et al, 2020). …

Short-Term Cd8+ T Cell Depletion Results In Decreased Large Artery Stiffness Via Decreased Collagen Content In Old Mice, Alexandra Canizales, David J. Buckley, Blessy Joseph, Sogol Zahedi, Sunita Sharma, Daniel W. Trott
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Advanced age is associated with large artery stiffness, partially due to increased collagen deposition within the aorta. Previously we have found that T cells accumulate in the aortas of old animals. A large proportion of these cells are CD8+ and produce inflammatory cytokines. We have previously demonstrated that CD8+ T cell depletion results in improved large artery stiffness. However, the mechanisms by which CD8+ depletion improves large artery stiffness are unclear. Therefore, we sought to determine whether CD8+ T cell depletion in old mice results in blunted aortic …

The Influence Of High-Intensity Interval Exercise On Vitamin-D Concentrations In Healthy Individuals, Leroy K. Bolden, Tomas Chapman-Lopez, Ricardo Torres, Jeffery Heileson, Meena Meiyyappan, Jeff S. Forsse
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies in the world due to various factors (e.g., lack of sun exposure, dietary considerations). Currently the utilization of exercise may act as an intervention for VD deficiencies to promote increases in VD concentrations in healthy populations. This could largely be due to the loss of calcium from aerobic exercise (AE), leading to a hormonal response [(e.g., parathyroid hormone (PTH)] and the activation of cytochrome’s (e.g., CYP2R1, CYP27B1) responsible for the regulation of VD. Thus, AE may serve as an intervention to promote VD synthesis due to the impacted biological …
Machine Learning Analysis Of Chronotype And Mental Toughness In Predicting Sleepiness Among Collegiate Dancers: Preliminary Findings, Alyssa Hudson, Andreas Stamatis
Machine Learning Analysis Of Chronotype And Mental Toughness In Predicting Sleepiness Among Collegiate Dancers: Preliminary Findings, Alyssa Hudson, Andreas Stamatis
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Understanding the interplay between chronotype (a trait-like characteristic denoting an individual's inherent preference for sleep and activity periods), mental toughness (MT; a state-like construct that equips individuals with the skills to endure adversity while pursuing goals), and sleepiness (a fluctuating state of propensity towards dozing off) is critical in domains where optimal performance is crucial, such as in athletics. The utilization of machine learning (ML) techniques to explore the impact of MT and chronotype on sleepiness categorization is notably scarce in collegiate dancing; thus, this approach could provide novel insights into managing dancers’ health and performance. PURPOSE: To evaluate …
No Effect Of Curcumin Supplementation On Inflammatory Response To Resistance Exercise In Resistance-Trained Young Women, Nicholas Lopez, Patrick Schunk, Lydia K. Caldwell, Sarah Deemer
No Effect Of Curcumin Supplementation On Inflammatory Response To Resistance Exercise In Resistance-Trained Young Women, Nicholas Lopez, Patrick Schunk, Lydia K. Caldwell, Sarah Deemer
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
INTRODUCTION: Resistance exercise can often lead to muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The discomfort associated with these side effects could affect training frequency and intensity and thus optimal chronic adaptation. Further, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to counteract DOMS may affect muscle adaptation responses. However, curcumin (CUR), a polyphenol found in the spice turmeric, has been shown to attenuate these undesirable effects through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of 8 days (400 mg/d) of a commercially available CUR supplement on muscle soreness and inflammation following fatiguing back squat exercise in resistance-trained …

Decathletes and heptathletes track performance using a point system after each event, and after each day to determine standings and progress. Predicting point potentials is a sought-after commodity at all levels of track and field competition. PURPOSE: The principal aim of this study was to identify the events in which athletes representing the U.S. national team attained lower scores compared to Olympic medal winners (OLY). The secondary aim was to provide predictive algorithms using low-tech field-testing and high-tech motion analysis methods to identify movements highly associated with event performance. METHODS: 18 current U.S. national track and field athletes, decathlon ( …

Achilles tendon ruptures are common and potentially career-ending injuries for National Basketball Association (NBA) players. Many studies review the impact of Achilles tendon ruptures on return to play (RTP) and performance, but there are no studies on their economic significance. PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze the economic and performance consequences of Achilles tendon ruptures. The financial burden for NBA teams was represented by the cost of recovery (COR) as well as preinjury salary and career success. We hypothesized that players with higher pre-injury salaries or performance would have an increased cost of recovery, higher rates of RTP, and …

Identifying ideal ranges of training load (TL) and recovery status before soccer games is essential to maximize game-day performance. PURPOSE: To determine how accumulative TL and subjective fatigue affect performance during the game. METHODS: Twenty-one male semi-professional soccer players (mean ± standard deviation; age: 22 ± 2 years; mass: 77.3 ± 6.9 kg) wore a player tracking device to monitor TL during each practice and game. A 7-day accumulation of high speed running and sprinting (HSR+Sprint, ³12.30 mph), total distance (TD), low acceleration (LowACC: 0.50-1.99 m×s-2), and high acceleration (HighACC: 2.00-50.00 m×s …
