Multiple Models Can Concurrently Explain Fatigue During Human Performance, C. Matthew Laurent†, Matt Green‡

International Journal of Exercise Science

One of the most commonly and thoroughly studied paradigms of human performance is fatigue. However, despite volumes of research there remains considerable controversy among scientists regarding definitive conclusions about the specific mechanism(s) contributing to fatigue. Within the literature there are three primary yet distinctly different governing ideas of fatigue; the traditionally referenced central model and peripheral model as well as the emerging central governor model (CGM). The CGM has recently been advocated by a limited number of researchers and is suggestive of a more integrative model of fatigue when compared the traditional peripheral and central models. However, more work is …

Determination Of Force Corresponding To Maximal Lactate Steady State In Tethered Swimming, Marcelo Papoti‡, Ricardo Vitório†, Sérgio A. Cunha†, Gustavo G. Araújo†, Adelino S.R. Silva‡, Vanessa Santhiago‡, Luiz E.B. Martins‡, Claudio A. Gobatto‡

International Journal of Exercise Science

The main aim of the present investigation was to verify if the aerobic capacity (AC) measured in tethered swimming corresponds to the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) and its correlation with 30 min and 400m free style swimming. Twenty-five swimmers were submitted to an incremental tethered swimming test (ITS) with an initial load of 20N and increments of 10N each 3min. After each stage of 3min, the athletes had 30s of interval to blood sample collections that were used to measure blood lactate concentrations ([La-]). The ACBI was determined by the abrupt increase in [La-] versus force (F). The points …

The Short-Term Effect Of Whole Body Vibration Training On Sprint Start In Collegiate Athletes, Brad Roberts*, Iain Hunter‡, Ty Hopkins‡, Brent Feland‡

International Journal of Exercise Science

Whole body vibration (WBV) is characterized by a vibratory stimulus emitted throughout the body through the use of a vibrating platform on which the subject stands. Studies have shown over 30% increases in maximal explosive strength such as maximal speed biceps curl as well as increases in maximum dynamic force such as maximal sitting bench pull as the result of vibration. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short term whole-body vibration on sprint starts among collegiate track athletes. On the first day eleven subjects were randomly assigned to either a non-vibration or vibration group for …

Evaluation Of Hand-To-Hand Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis For Estimating Percent Body Fat In Young Adults, Aaron M. Weaver*, Ashley C. Hill*, Joseph L. Andreacci‡, Curt B. Dixon‡

International Journal of Exercise Science

Purposes were to (a) to examine the validity and precision of a hand-to-hand bioelectrical impedance analyzer (HBIA) and (b) to determine the effect of an acute sub-maximal aerobic exercise bout on HBIA percent body fat (%BF) measures. Forty-one young adults (21 women; 20 men) visited the laboratory for body composition assessment on two separate occasions. During the control session, %BF was assessed by HBIA twice, before and immediately after 30 min of rest, and once by air-displacement plethysmography (ADP), using the BOD POD, which was considered the criterion method for comparison. During the exercise session, HBIA %BF measurements were determined …

Psychosocial Correlates Of Physical Activity In Children And Adolescents In A Rural Community Setting, Kelly Crimi†, Larry D. Hensley‡, Kevin J. Finn‡

International Journal of Exercise Science

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between selected psychosocial factors and the physical activity behaviors of children (grade 4-8) and adolescents (grades 9-12) in a rural community setting. The Children’s Physical Activity Scale (CPAC)was used to measure the psychosocial factors of physical activity, The Physical Activity Questionnaire-Children (PAQ-C), and Physical Activity Questionnaire-Adolescents (PAQ-A) were used to measure the physical activity behaviors of the 167 participants. Results indicated that male and female physical activity behaviors were not significantly different. However, physical activity declined with age [F(8,147) = 5.44, p < 0.05, ES = 0.23]. All psychosocial factors were significantly correlated with physical activity in youth with the single highest correlation for males being “liking of exercise” (r = .61) and the highest correlation for females was “liking of games and sports”(r = .44). Stepwise regression analyses identified three subscales (liking of games and sport, liking of exercise, and parental support) in a significant prediction model of physical activity in both genders. The results indicate that children's physical activity is associated with a variety of psychosocial variables that represent import predisposing and reinforcing factors.

Balance Across Boundaries: Service Learning From An International Perspective, Teresa C. Fitts

International Journal of Exercise Science

Service-Learning provides students, faculty and community partners an opportunity to go beyond classroom and laboratory instruction to the application of theoretical principles, and the development of civic responsibility by forging meaningful relationships with community partners. Service-learning also enables faculty to broaden the cultural sensitivity and international exposure of students by engaging students in directed, purposeful projects aimed at supporting the goals of both the college and the international partners. We have a unique opportunity in Exercise Science to make lasting changes and improve global conditions relating to student learning and the physical inactivity crisis. The purpose of this article is …

River Channel Stability And Sediment Characteristics In The Upper White River Basin, Robert T. Pavlowsky, Derek J. Martin

OEWRI Technical Reports

In summer 2009, geomorphic channel assessments were completed for 10 sites in the Upper White River Basin in support of a long-term water quality monitoring program implemented by the Upper White River Basin Foundation. This report describes the results of these assessments. At each site, information was collected on slope and pool conditions, channel capacity and sediment transport, degree of bank erosion, occurrence of bar and floodplain features, and sediment size and distribution. The channels examined were generally typical of Ozarks rivers and tend to have narrow valleys and strong bedrock control near the surface. This valley condition tends to …

Helping Counselors Develop Relational Competencies When Working With Religious & Spiritual Clients, Dr. Jill D. Duba, Craig Cashwell, Harriet Glosoff

Counseling & Student Affairs Faculty Publications

The professional counselor can describe the similarities and differences between spirituality and religion, including the basic beliefs of various spiritual systems, major world religions, agnosticism and atheism. The professional counselor recognizes that the client's beliefs (or absence of beliefs) about spirituality and/or religion are central to his or her worldview and can influence psychosocial functioning.

Cultural Competence In Health Care: A Client-Based Perspective, Karon L. Phillips

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In response to the presence of health disparities among a diverse population of older adults, creating culturally competent health care services has emerged as a possible method to help reduce and eventually eliminate inequalities in health care. However, little information exists concerning the effectiveness of cultural competence, and even less is known about how culturally competent clients perceive their providers to be. This dissertation examined a number of indicators related to cultural competence, including the predictors of client-provider racial/ethnic concordance, client perceptions of the interpersonal sensitivity of their health care providers, and the overall satisfaction with care reported by older …
