The Effect Of Prescibed Weight Training On A Selected Group Of Varsity Basketball Players, Bernard Eugene Duffy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

n the field of physical education weight lifting has been regarded by many as not having a place in the program because of its hindrance to speed, reaction time, and flexibility in those training for athletics. In recent years it has been receiving more and more attention and experimentation as a supplement to the regular training program of those preparing for physical activities. In this study an effort has been made to observe any influence a program of weight lifting might have upon basketball players in training for the ensuing season. This effect was measured through the use of the …

Factors Affecting Prices Received By South Dakota Egg Producers : A Pilot Study, J. Patrick Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota egg producers have long been faced with the fact that they receive the lowest average prices per dozen of any state, with the exception of North Dakota.

Alfalfa Seedling Rot In Relation To The Quantity Of Pythium In South Dakota Soils, Michael Komanetsky Jan 1956

Alfalfa Seedling Rot In Relation To The Quantity Of Pythium In South Dakota Soils, Michael Komanetsky

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Alfalfa seedling rot in South Dakota, as in other parts of the United States and the world, is a destructive alfalfa disease. In many fields its abundance prevents the establishment of adequate alfalfa stands, requiring the use of excessive amounts of seed or chemical seed treatments to establish such stands. The absence or near absence of seedling rot in other fields sown with normal amounts of seed often results in stands that are too dense for best growth of plants under semi-arid conditions. Soil-inhabiting fungi of the genus Pythium generally have been shown to be responsible for this disease. Among …

Locker And Shower Room Facilities Used For Physical Education In Class "A" High Schools In South Dakota, Arthur T. Jansen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This is a survey of the existing locker and shower room facilities for physical education in the larger high schools in South Dakota. The state of South Dakota does not require physical education in its public elementary or secondary schools, but leaders in the field are working toward a goal whereby physical education for all pupils from the first through the twelfth would be required. If such a requirement is made of the present school systems in South Dakota, will the schools be able to handle the increased load, and are they now adequately constructed to handle their present load? …


Present Practices In Grading Boys' Physical Education In Secondary Schools Of Minnesota, North Dakota, And South Dakota, Wayne E. Sinning Jan 1956

Present Practices In Grading Boys' Physical Education In Secondary Schools Of Minnesota, North Dakota, And South Dakota, Wayne E. Sinning

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little research has been done on grading in physical education. Most of the work on the subject is composed of methods and suggestions which authors have developed through their own experience. Very little has been done to determine the needs of the instructor in the classroom situation and to adopt procedures to these needs. These needs arise from many different forces at work affecting the methods the instructor uses. Some of these forces are present procedures, the status and credit given to physical education in the individual schools and the present philosophy of the instructors and school administrators. This …


Research On A Portable Floor Plate Brooder With Electric Heating Elements For Use In South Dakota, Virgil H. Flesher Jan 1956

Research On A Portable Floor Plate Brooder With Electric Heating Elements For Use In South Dakota, Virgil H. Flesher

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A reduced profit margin in the poultry business has brought about the demand for more efficient methods of poultry farming. A savings of a few cents per bird on the cost of raising poultry may mean the difference between profit or loss. With this is mind an efficiency study was made of three types of electric brooders. Two of these types of brooders, the infra-red lamp and the conventional electric resistance type heating element and hover, are available commercially. The portable floor plate brooder with electric heating elements was constructed for research purposes in this study. These three brooders units …

The Effect Of Body Temperature Upon Accuracy In Performing Specific Motor Skills, Roger William Denker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was made to determine the effect of the body’s diurnal temperature variation upon accuracy in performing specific motor skills. The study involved the establishment of a basic temperature curve after which the subject was tested through a series of accuracy tests devised by the author. The subject for this study, for reasons of convenience, was the author. Use of such a small sample, however, is a limitation of the study. The subject was in good health and reasonably sound physical condition.


The Relationship Of Scholastic Achievement To Regularity Of Attendance And Participation In Extra-Curricular Activities In The Brookings High School Senior Class Of 1955, Frank Williams Jan 1956

The Relationship Of Scholastic Achievement To Regularity Of Attendance And Participation In Extra-Curricular Activities In The Brookings High School Senior Class Of 1955, Frank Williams

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The writer in this problem is attempting to establish the relationship of scholastic achievement to regularity of attendance and participation in extra-curricular activities. The Brookings, South Dakota High School senior class of 1955 was selected for this study. Because extra-curricular participation is important, more study should be spent on this phase of education to improve the quality of extra-curricular activities and to encourage more pupil participation. Also, this problem may help establish the importance of regular daily attendance in our public schools and show that those who were in regular attendance attained greater achievement in their school work.
