The Effect Of Prior Localized Muscle Fatigue On Lactate Production During Submaximal Exercise, Molly A Morrison-Gibson

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Muscle fatigue is a complex phenomena that involves both metabolic and neural factors. The present study examined the prolonged effects of localized muscle fatigue on lactate production during exercise. Five subjects, 3 females and 2 males, ages 25-29 (x = 27 {dollar}\pm{dollar} 1) participated in the study. Subjects completed a max VO2 test and two testing sessions, which consisted of cycling for 20 minutes at 80%-85% max VO2, once with prior fatigue and once without. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed gross lactate production was 20% higher in the non-fatigue trial than in the fatigue trial (9.3 {dollar}\pm{dollar}.03 vs. 7.6 {dollar}\pm{dollar}.04, …

Self-Esteem And Perceived Barriers To And Benefits Of Exercise Among Physically Active And Non-Physically Active College Students, Barbara Brown Bonheur

Ellmer School of Nursing Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine differences in self-esteem, perceived benefits of and perceived barriers to exercise between exercisers and non-exercisers and to determine if relationships existed between self-esteem, perceived benefits of exercise and perceived barriers to exercise, that could explain participation in regular aerobic exercise. A sample of 105 university students completed four questionnaires. The level of social desirability present in participant responses was also measured. Five hypotheses were tested. Utilizing t-tests, a significant difference was found between exercisers and non-exercisers on self-esteem, perceived benefits of exercise, and perceived barriers to exercise. The three variables (self-esteem, …

Exercise And Eating Habit Change In The Treatment Of Obesity, Michael D. Johnson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A pretest-posttest control group design was used to compare the effectiveness of a behavioral caloric reduction/exercise increase treatment package with a caloric reduction approach. The participants consisted of 32 people selected from those responding to a community newspaper advertisement announcing the weight control program. The caloric reduction/exercise treatment group focused on energy expenditure methods for reducing weight and improving physical fitness along with procedures for controlling food intake patterns. The caloric reduction group concentrated on procedures for controlling food intake patterns only. The results indicated that weight loss was achieved by both the caloric reduction group and the combined caloric …

Does Weight Loss Cause The Exercise-Induced Increase In Plasma High Density Lipoproteins?, Paul T. Williams, Peter D. Wood, Ronald M. Krauss, William L. Haskell, Karen M. Vranizan, Steven N. Blair, Richard Terry, John W. Farquhar

Faculty Publications

Studies showing an increase in plasma concentration of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with moderate exercise have usually rejected the role of body weight change in the HDL-C raising process, ostensibly because the amount of weight lost has been negligible. To investigate HDL-C changes more thoroughly, we followed initially sedentary middle-aged men randomly assigned to either a moderate running (N=36) or a sedentary control (N=28) group for one year. Among runners, one-year changes in plasma HDL-C concentrations correlated strongly with their body weight changes (r = -0.53, P < 0.001). Curve-fitting procedures and regression analysis suggested that processes associated with weight change produce much of the plasma HDL-C changes induced by moderate exercise and that changes in HDL-C concentration predominantly reflect changes in the reputedly anti-atherogenic HDL2 sub-component. Further, the interaction between weight change and plasma HDL-C concentration was significantly different (P

A Survey Of Patterns Of Nonpharmacologic Care For Hypertensive Patients, Including Recommendations For Their Children, Ivan Soltero, Yi Tsong, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Rose Stamler, Dan Garside

Faculty Publications

To ascertain current approaches of physicians to nutritional-hygienic management of hypertensive patients and their children, a survey was done among a random sample of Chicago-area generalists, internists, and cardiologists. Thirteen items related to advice for patients; two for their children. Of 713 physicians holding M.D. degrees in the sample, 573 (80%) responded. For hypertensive patients, the great majority of physicians indicated that they advise weight loss, avoidance of salt use at table, no smoking, regular exercise, limitation of alcohol intake, and avoidance of stressful situations. Although 98% advised weight loss, a minority responded positively to reduction of carbohydrate and/or fat …

Ejercicio Para Los Adultos Mayores : Perceptions And Emerging Themes In The Elderly Population Of Monteverde, 1974, Jamie Drake, Sammy Moussly, Cynthia Pace, Jennifer Webb

Monteverde Institute: Culture, Community, and Health

Report of an investigation that focused both broadly on elder health and more specifically on physical activity/exercise. The specific aims of the research were three-fold: to determine if exercise was a culturally-salient and cohort-appropriate term by asking participants; to obtain data regarding the exercises most enjoyed by the elderly and what were self-perceived barriers to and motivations for participating in both exercise and the group; and to better understand the difference in the perspectives between San Luis residents and the perspective of those elderly adults participating in the Santa Elena group regarding what physical activity was emphasized as exercise.

A Study Designed To Establish Norms For The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test Utilizing Somatotypes, Dean A. Blevins

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to develop norms for the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test in each somatotype classification as determined by the Heath-Carter anthropometric measurement. At the present time, norms exist only for the group as a whole which is comprised mainly of mesomorphs. This, of course, results in a great many endomorphs who score poorly, or not at all, and some ectomorphs who also do poorly. It is proposed that endomorphs, ectomorphs, and mesomorphs should each have their own norms.
