In the growing world of health and well-being, three-dimensional (3D) scanning is emerging as a popular tool to assess body composition. While body composition cannot be truly “measured” in living humans, it can be approximated. This, however, leads to two types of errors (i.e., technical and biological) in the body composition assessment. PURPOSE: This study was used to determine what percent or range of percentages in body fat one must exceed before concluding a real change has occurred. By conducting assessments on separate days, with only a short period of time between them, true changes in body composition are …
Relationships Between Functional Performance And Quadriceps Muscle Size And Quality In Healthy Older Women, Ahalee C. Farrow, Chinonye C. Agu-Udemba, Ethan A. Mitchell, Ty B. Palmer
Relationships Between Functional Performance And Quadriceps Muscle Size And Quality In Healthy Older Women, Ahalee C. Farrow, Chinonye C. Agu-Udemba, Ethan A. Mitchell, Ty B. Palmer
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Ultrasound assessments of quadriceps cross-sectional area (CSA) and echo intensity (EI) are commonly used to evaluate lower-body muscle size and quality in older adults. It has been hypothesized that muscle CSA and EI of the quadriceps may be important predictors of functional performances such as gait speed and vertical jump power. However, limited data exist regarding how these parameters associate with performance during a timed up-and-go (TUG) task. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between TUG performance and muscle CSA and EI of the quadriceps in older women. METHODS: Twenty healthy older women …
A Case Study: Femoroacetabular Impingement In Collegiate Baseball, Candace Parker, Morgan Spencer-Roth
A Case Study: Femoroacetabular Impingement In Collegiate Baseball, Candace Parker, Morgan Spencer-Roth
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
CASE HISTORY: The patient is a 19-year-old collegiate baseball infielder who presented with an ongoing pain in his left hip that had originally presented when the patient was in high school. After becoming a member of a collegiate baseball team, his hip pain persisted, followed shortly by a new pain in his right hip. The patient had been dealing with and conservatively treating the left hip pain for a year, and with the presentation of right hip pain during his first collegiate semester a decision was made to visit the team physician. PHYSICAL EXAM: Examination of the patient’s …
Partial Rupture Of The Distal Biceps Tendon In A Collegiate Football Player, Derran J. Strydom, Melissa D. Long
Partial Rupture Of The Distal Biceps Tendon In A Collegiate Football Player, Derran J. Strydom, Melissa D. Long
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
CASE HISTORY: The patient is a 20-year-old collegiate football player who presented to the athletic training staff with pain in his left arm near his elbow. He states that he was attempting to make a tackle and that his arm was pushed into hyperextension by another player. He reported discomfort, pain, and numbness in his arm. He attempted to continue to play after completing arm flexion and extension in between plays. His pain levels increased as his range of motion activity continued. The patient could no longer continue during practice and was taken to the medical tent for further …
The Relationship Between Squat Jump Performance And Sprint Profile In Collegiate Track And Field Athletes, Martin S. Dietze-Hermosa, Sergio Rodriguez, Samuel Montalvo, Matthew P. Gonzalez, Nicholas R. Cubillos, Emily Martinez, Joshua Del Rio, Sandor Dorgo
The Relationship Between Squat Jump Performance And Sprint Profile In Collegiate Track And Field Athletes, Martin S. Dietze-Hermosa, Sergio Rodriguez, Samuel Montalvo, Matthew P. Gonzalez, Nicholas R. Cubillos, Emily Martinez, Joshua Del Rio, Sandor Dorgo
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The squat jump (SJ) necessitates the inter-play of various biomechanical components for better jump performance. Good sprint performance requires the inter-play of many of the same biomechanical components. Researchers have previously examined how the speed, force, velocity, and power interact during sprinting, but have yet to examine how these measures are associated with SJ performance measures. PURPOSE: Examine the relationship between squat jump performance measures and the sprint profile measurements of collegiate track and field athletes. METHODS: Twenty-five athletes (18 males and 7 females) completed two squat jump trials with a linear encoder attached to a 45 lbs. …
