Quality Of Knee Strengthening Exercises Performed At Home Deteriorates After One Week, Hayden E. Dennis, Hyunwook Lee, Ulrike Mitchell, M. K. Seeley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Current clinical practice guidelines for physical therapy (PT) post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) recommend supervised postoperative PT; this recommendation is based on research demonstrating that more direct supervision from a physical therapist yields improved mobility, balance, and overall quality-of-life, relative to less supervision. Supervised post-operative PT is not always feasible due to non-availability of a licensed physical therapist, lack of health insurance, and/or other factors. Consequently, patients often perform post-TKA PT exercises without supervision. PURPOSE: To compare the quality (determined via the ability to replicate lower extremity kinematics recommended by a physical therapist) of post-TKA PT exercises in healthy older …

Electromyographic Analysis Of The Vastus Lateralis And Vastus Medialis Muscles Among Different Crank Lengths In Cycling, Jackson C. Crovella, Karoline M. Wucherer, Joy He, Christiane R. O'Hara

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Crank length (CL) on a bicycle may influence the total activation and period of activation of the leg muscles. Differences in total muscular activation suggest that CL may alter muscular fatigue. Differences in muscular onset and offset suggest that CL may shift muscle activation periods across a 360 degree crank cycle. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of four different CL (155, 165, 175, and 185 mm) on muscular activation of vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VM). METHODS: Nine non-cyclists (6M, 3F, aged 18-55) participated in a single blind randomized cross-over experiment with four CL. Delsys EMG sensors …

Time Spent Jogging/Running And Telomere Length In 5805 U.S. Adults, Christina M. Blackmon, Larry A. Tucker

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

A scientifically accepted measure of biological aging is the length of telomeres. Telomeres shorten with each year of life. Although age is the primary driving force, lifestyle can also have a substantial effect on telomere length. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree to which minutes spent jogging or running per week accounted for differences in leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in a randomly selected sample of 5805 U.S. adults. METHODS: A cross-sectional design was employed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and findings are generalizable to the U.S. adult population. Time …

Effect Of Moderate Intensity Cycle Ergometer Exercise In Normoxia And Hypobaric Hypoxia On Markers Related To Autophagy – A Pilot Study, Quint N. Berkemeier, Zachary Mckenna, Zachary Fennel, Roberto Nava, Christine Mermier, Ann L. Gibson

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Autophagy is a process by which damaged and dysfunctional cellular components are transported to and decomposed in the lysosome, which is integral for maintenance of healthy cellular function and homeostasis. Among many health benefits, exercise is shown to catalyze autophagy. However, limited research exists on the effect of high-altitude exercise (>2500m) on autophagy in humans. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of exercise in hypoxia (HYP) on autophagic markers compared to intensity-matched exercise in normoxia (NORM). METHODS: 8 healthy and active males (23.3 ± 2.4 yrs, 75.2 ± 10.7 kg, 49.6 ± 6.5 ml/kg/min) completed 1hr of moderate intensity cycling …

Acute Effects Of Swimming And Running On Serum Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Concentration, Stephanie Bangerter, Martha Gill, Madison J. Rhoades, Alexandra M. Hay, Seth A. Ferguson, Hyunwook Lee, Ronald L. Hager, Gary J. Measom, Matthew K. Seeley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Most older adults are thought to have some level of knee joint articular cartilage degradation or knee osteoarthritis, a debilitating and incurable disease. Physical exercise is known to benefit joint health for older adults, yet it is unclear how different modes of exercise affect knee joint articular cartilage. Serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a biomarker that is thought to reflect articular cartilage metabolism. PURPOSE: To compare effects of running and swimming on serum COMP concentration in older adults. METHODS: Serum COMP concentration was measured before and after physical exercise for two groups of older adults: runners and …

The Effect Of Heat Therapy On Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cell Content, Boston J. Andersen, Jamie P. Kaluhiokalani, Brandon S. Pfeifer, Jack B. Mehling, Robert D. Hyldahl

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Satellite cells are essential for proper muscle repair and adaptation. Studies have shown that exercise can lead to an increase in satellite cell content within muscle tissue. However, it is unknown whether other environmental stressors, such as heat, are also capable of augmenting the satellite cell pool. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in satellite cell content before and after 6-weeks (3x/wk) of skeletal muscle heat therapy (HT) or single leg knee extension exercise training (EX). Additionally, a sham heat treatment was used as a control. We hypothesized that HT would result in an increase …

Short-Duration Massage Does Not Affect Grip Strength In Rock Climbers, Tayler Ah Nee, Christopher Berger

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Handgrip strength (HGS) is now viewed as an index of overall health and may even be prognostic for conditions that include cancer and cardiovascular disease. Consequently, it is important to understand influences on HGS, one of which may be forearm massage. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a bout of short-duration massage would augment HGS in rock climbers, a population for which massage is commonly employed and HGS is acutely important. METHODS: Subjects included fifteen female (age 28 ± 7 yr; height 165.8 ± 5.5 cm; weight 63.1 ± 11.7 kg) and fifteen …

The Effect Of Percussive Massage On Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Fat Oxidation And Thigh Fat Thickness, Mohadeseh Ahmadi

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Nutrition and exercise are well-established modalities for the induction of fat loss. However, it is important that alternative methods of fat reduction be investigated whether as supplementary treatments to traditional methods or stand-alone interventions, as a significant portion of the population is unable to participate in exercise training or undergo effective diet programs. Some studies have shown that daily whole-body massage can limit body fat deposition in infants, as well as young and middle-aged adults. While most studies have investigated the effects of traditional massage modalities in which massage is applied by a massage therapist using touch to manipulate the …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

It is suggested that stronger basketball players and players with larger hands have poorer free throw percentages. However, research suggests stronger individuals have better force steadiness. PURPOSE: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between free throw percentage and anthropometric and physical performance metrics of National Basketball Association (NBA) players. METHODS: Using nbastatR, NBA draft combine data from 2000 to 2020 and respective NBA rookie season player data was scraped. Players who attempted at least 30 free throws were analyzed. Free throw percentage was predicted by the three performance variables and five anthropometric variables: …

Effect Of 4-Week Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation On Absolute Strength In Trained And Untrained Healthy Adults, Carson C. Vollmer, Brittany K. Sanchez

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Creatine monohydrate (CrM) is a synthetic form of creatine which has similar effects on the body as compared to the endogenous form. Creatine is used by the body to supply rapid ATP to muscles for contractile movements and is regularly obtained in the diet, primarily from meat products, or synthesized by the liver at a 24-hour turnover rate of approximately 1-2 g/day. Creatine supplementation is commonly used with the intention of improving muscular strength and hypertrophy for athletic performance along with enhanced recovery time, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and potential neuroprotective benefits. PURPOSE: The specific aim of this study is …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) that lead to a substantial amount of workplace injuries. In any career that requires physical effort, it is crucial to maintain a strong reaction and response time to these unpredictable environments to maintain worker safety. In dynamic, ever-changing workplaces, it is important to know how to best mitigate trip and fall risk. However, there is little literature describing how physical fatigue affects young, healthy individuals’ ability to negotiate obstacles, as well as whether there are worker characteristics that may put them at greater risk of STFs.

PURPOSE: Therefore, our purpose is to identify the …

Biomechanical Changes In Running Post-Transition In A Triathlon, Luke Vankeersbilck, Travis Peterson Phd

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Triathletes often complain about lower limb discomfort when running after cycling (Quigley, 1996). Several studies have found differences in muscle activation (Chapman, 2009), kinematics (Rendos et al., 2013), and kinetic cost (Millet, 2001) during the transition run. These differences were also found to be more severe in less experienced triathletes (Chapman, 2008). PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the kinetic differences between baseline and transition runs of inexperienced triathletes. METHODS: Twelve novice triathletes age: 29.4 ± 12.15 y, mass: 71.2 ± 10.3 kg, weekly running mileage: 24.4 ± 16.7 mi/week volunteered to participate. Athletes completed a 20 min …
