Run Like A Kenyan: How To Be An Elite Athlete The Kenyan Way, Becca Blubaugh
Run Like A Kenyan: How To Be An Elite Athlete The Kenyan Way, Becca Blubaugh
Undergraduate Research Conference
By observation and statistics, research shows that one dominating elite group in running is the Kenyan distance runners, specifically the Kalenjinethnic group. Many aspects of the Kenyan life were found to contribute to their efficiency and success. Analyzing Kenyan aspects of environment, altitude, society, diet, transportation, motives, and training may reveal possible ways American runners can improve their running.
The Effects Of Physical Education Credit Producing Activities On High School Students, Jonathan Denton
The Effects Of Physical Education Credit Producing Activities On High School Students, Jonathan Denton
Undergraduate Research Conference
The original intent for this project was to see what summative information could be drawn using the FITNESSGRAM. Researchers wanted to relate the FITNESSGRAM to variables like academic performance, amount of physical education, and the student’s general idea of physical education. Over the past few years, researchers have found that students with a higher score on the FITNESSGRAM have a higher academic score on the T.A.K.S., better attendance, and less behavioral problems. Also, researchers were interested in determining if a participant’s satisfaction level of the physical education experience had any impact on the FITNESSGRAM variables. This descriptive research was designed …

Choreographic Design And Process Of Dance, Kathleen Higgins
Choreographic Design And Process Of Dance, Kathleen Higgins
Undergraduate Research Conference
When I began the choreographic process, I was inspired by all of the emotions one might feel at a dance audition. However, with much though and manipulation of my original movement, I realized that the body image a dancer has of herself, and the body image for which she is continuously striving, was the underlying message that I wanted my choreography to communicate.

Green Tea Aids In Overall Health, Noelle Norman
Green Tea Aids In Overall Health, Noelle Norman
Undergraduate Research Conference
Green tea is highly effective in aiding in overall health if consumed on a daily basis and can reduce incidence of cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The primary compounds found in green tea are polyphenols which include catechins, epicatechin(EC), epigallocatechin(EGC), epicatechingallate(ECG), andepigallocatechingallate(EGCG). Five research studies were analyzed to verify the validity of the hypothesis that green consumption is beneficial in overall health. In these studies, green tea was found to aid in weight loss with those who consumed green tea regularly, as well as having effects on thermogenesis and fat oxidation to control wait …
Analysis Of Critical Amino Acid Residues In Unc-45 Necessary For Its Interaction With Myosin Using Site-Directed Mutagenesis, Amanda H. Nolan
Analysis Of Critical Amino Acid Residues In Unc-45 Necessary For Its Interaction With Myosin Using Site-Directed Mutagenesis, Amanda H. Nolan
Undergraduate Research Conference
UNC-45 is an important protein for muscle contraction and heart formation. The UNC-45 protein is a chaperone for the myosin heavy chain head, and UNC-45 only binds to the UCS domain of the myosin head. In our research for the interaction of myosin and UNC-45. The mutation was accomplished using the multiple sequence alignment method and site-directed mutagenesis. The mutations were generated in UNC-45 of Mus musculus (mouse), and the specific amino acids that were mutated were: L741A and L860F. The mutant proteins were sequenced and over-expressed for analysis.
Texas Black Bears, Alexandria Bryant
Texas Black Bears, Alexandria Bryant
Undergraduate Research Conference
One way to promote conservation efforts in an area is to bring awareness of the connections our society has with the animal that is under threat. Black Bears were once abundant throughout Texas, but through hunting and habitat loss, the bears had been eliminated from Texas by the 1950s. The placing of the Louisiana subspecies as threatened under The Federal Endangered Species Act in 1922 allowed populations to recover in Louisiana, and there have been several sightings in East Texas since. The face of Texas has been forever altered byt the presence of black bears. From the forests of East …
