The Effect Of Exercise On Basel Metabolic Rate As Related To Changes In Active Tissue Mass, Arnold Garth Fisher

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

Nineteen men between the ages of twenty-four and thirty-seven were trained for eight weeks to determine the effect of improved cardio-respiratory fitness on basal metabolic rate and body composition. The hypothesis was that a change in active tissue mass brought about by exercise would not be accompanied by a change in basal metabolic rate. Two measurements of body composition were made, lean body mass and fat-free weight. Lean body mass was estimated by the potassium-40 technique at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. Fat-free weight was estimated by hydrostatic weighing. The total lung volume of each subject …

The Effect Of Video Feedback On Learning A Motor Skill, J. W. Sanders

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of videotape feedback on the ability to learn a motor skill.

For the most effective learning experience, a combination of sensory impressions is essential. It was hypothesized that videotape replay would help the learner to form a clear perception of performance requirements, and it seemed advisable to study the impact that the medium of television replay might have on learning a motor skill. This study was one approximation toward this end.
