An Electromyographic Comparison Of Straight-Leg Raising Exercises From Sitting And Supine Positions, Marchelle Marie Cuppett

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The prevention of quadriceps atrophy during prolonged knee immobilization is of concern to the athletic trainer or the physical therapist. Several exercises have been used in the past for rehabilitation during this period of immobilization. Selection of an exercise which produces the greatest amount of muscular activity is beneficial as it would produce a greater training effect on the muscles and prevent extensive atrophy from occurring. The most common exercise used in rehabilitation of the quadriceps during this period of immobilization is the supine straight-leg raising exercise. This exercise, however, has some shortcomings in producing an increased amount of muscular …

The Effects Of Different Modes Of Warm-Up On Oxygen Debt And Deficit In Trained Females, Barbara Ann Donovan

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Coaches and teachers of physical education have advocated warm-up before performance in sports with the intention of producing optimal work performance and prevention of injury. It was the purpose of this study to determine the effects of static stretching and continuous warm-up on oxygen debt and deficit in trained females whose ages ranged from 15 to 31 years of age. Twenty trained subjects ran on a treadmill at 7 mph for 10 minutes following each mode of warm-up on two occasions. Oxygen debt and deficit was determined under both conditions. It was hypothesized that the mode utilizing continuous warm-up would …

The Effects Of Two Color Conditions On Muscular Strength In Trained And Untrained College Males And Females, Mary Jane Asimus

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of three color conditions on handgrip strength and shoulder abduction strength in trained and untrained college males and females. It has been suggested that differences in electromagnetic properities [sic] under exposure to visual stimuli (color) may affect muscular strength throughout the body. Subjects consisted of forty male and forty female volunteers from the University of Northern Iowa. Six different treatments were administered to all subjects. Maximal strength exertion under all conditions (normal, blue and pink) was measured with a cable tensiometer. Statistical analysis revealed significant main effects on the SEX …

The Effects Of Speeds On Contraction In Isokinetic Exercise On Strength And Hypertrophy Of Thigh Musculature In Male College Students, Wayne William Johnson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

During the past two decades the emergence of isokinetic exercise has had a great influence on muscular strengthening and conditioning. This influence has shifted the emphasis of type of exercise away from isotonic and isometric programs. With the increased interest in isokinetic exercise has come interest in fast speeds of isokinetic exercise. The ability of isokinetic devices to regulate the speed of exercise and prevent acceleration at these speeds has made it possible to effectively exercise at fast speeds. The present study examined the effect of speed of isokinetic exercise on muscular strength (as tested at six different speeds of …

Effects Of The Approach Path On The Displacement Of The Center Of Gravity During A Vertical Jump, Joyce Ann Davis

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Many sport activities require the use of the vertical jump in some manner. An approach run to a vertical jump is desirable because it enables a jumper to convert the horizontal momentum that is built up during the preliminary steps into vertical momentum for the jump. Cinematographical analysis was utilized to study what effects the approach path has on the displacement of the body's center of gravity during a vertical jump. Nine college-aged female subjects were filmed with a high speed camera while performing a vertical jump from both a curved and straight approach path. All subjects used a three …

The Effects Of A Required Physical Fitness Unit On College Women’S Attitudes Toward Physical Fitness, Christine Faust

An Analysis Of Personality Characteristics And Attitudes Of High School Girls Filing Excuses From Physical Education, Jo Ann Catherine Kramer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Physical educators are concerned with the attitudes held by their students toward physical education as a class activity. One main reason for this concern is that activities learned in high school physical education class are hopefully carried over into adult life to aid the individual in maintaining hie level of total fitness. In order to obtain the full benefits of a comprehensive physical education program a student must actively participate in the program. A negative attitude toward physical education activity or toward the class can affect an individual's degree of participation. Physical educators usually feel that an individual who does …

Some High Lights On Science Club Work

Science Bulletin

"The success of the club is of course more dependent upon the director than upon any other one factor. The director should take no active part during the meeting, except when it is necessary to carry the boys over what is to them an insurmountable difficulty-his frame of mind should be that of a man behind the scenes, who having set the stage stands by watching the performance, ever-ready to step into a situation and set things right. The ability to do this properly comes with practice. It does not demand exceptional ability or personality - Next to efficient leadership, …

The Place Of The Green Leaf In The World, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

Why is a leaf? Ask the question of twenty-five of your friends and if five can give the correct answer I will be surprised. The green leaf is the food factory for the world. It is the plant organ that captures the energy of the sun and in the process of photosynthesis builds of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water and stores this energy in potential form. Later, through oxidation processes, this energy is released and does most of the work of the world. The green plant connects the inorganic world with the organic world and our energy is directly …

Colloids, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

The increasing importance of the chemistry of colloids is giving them a wide recognition in the general chemistry texts of college grade. In a lesser degree they are included in the high school books but the information is often so condensed as to offer little of value. The writer believes that two or three class periods near the end of the year's course should be devoted to this subject and this article will attempt to present basic fact upon which may be built a discussion of colloids for high school pupils.

Concerning Cottontails, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

The cornfield lay above a low bluff overlooking a swamp, and for half an hour I had tracked that cottontail through a perfect maze of weeds and cornstalks. Warming with the chase, I was determined to have that particular bunny if it took me all morning. if I had not known better, I would have thought he was teasing me. Time and again, his tracks led into a bunch of grass with every indication that he was there for the day, but always they led out on the other side.

Venereal Diseases, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Much has been said about what ought to be done about venereal diseases. Nearly everyone agrees that more education on the subject is needed, but that is about as far as it goes in at least ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. The result is that much erroneous information is surreptitiously passed about. Some young people have an abnormal fear of venereal disease and live in dread of acquiring it from all kinds of objects. Others, and this group is entirely too large, treat the subject entirely too lightly, and fail to respect the dangers involved.

Wings, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

When 'wings' are mentioned, most people at once think of birds. But wings, and the consequent power of flight, are by no means limited to birds. Among the mammals, for example, bats have wings and are excellent flyers. In both birds and bats, the wings are merely modified front legs.

The Project In Chemistry, Donald D. Pettit

Science Bulletin

Some time ago the writer became convinced that the typical presentation of high school chemistry left many things to be desired, especially with that group who are completing their scholastic work with their high school diploma. As a rule they are leaving school pretty thoroughly disgusted with class work in general, and, although they had originally intended to continue in school as evidenced by their election of chemistry, they find that the prospect offers no allure. In many cases I am afraid that the course in chemistry helped to turn them from further scholastic endeavor. In order to furnish some …
