Predicting Wingate Power From Lung Volumes, Ashley Deam
Predicting Wingate Power From Lung Volumes, Ashley Deam
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Two different measurements, static lung volume and dynamic lung volume are used to report lung size, volume, and contractility. Spirometric Respiratory Tests are one way to measure these different lung values. Anaerobic Power is used for short bursts of high intensity power and is mainly measured using the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT). The relationship between lung function and anaerobic power in healthy individuals is not completely understood. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if lung volumes could be used to predict Wingate power. METHODS: Six women (W; age 24.7 ± 4.8 yrs.) and five men (M; …
Impact Of Diminished Visual Feedback On Postural Control, Kripa Thomas
Impact Of Diminished Visual Feedback On Postural Control, Kripa Thomas
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Sensory systems are an integral key to efficient postural control. Out of all the sensory systems, visual has shown to be the most heavily relied on. With the progression of age there is a decline with not only this sensory system but also postural control. The vestibular sensory system contributes to equilibrium, balance, and spatial orientation. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate postural control when visual feedback was diminished in an unstable support surface. METHODS: Twelve women (age 75 +10.0 yrs), of the Center of Healthy Living and Longevity, volunteered to participate in this study. Each …
Effects Of Incorporating Body Weight As Resistance On Lower Body Strength, Yuri Rivera
Effects Of Incorporating Body Weight As Resistance On Lower Body Strength, Yuri Rivera
Kinesiology Student Research
INTRODUCTION: Incorporating a person’s own body weight as resistance is commonly used when a person is transitioning from sedentary to starting an exercise routine. In addition, incorporating one’s own body weight as resistance is the most appropriate choice when the person has no experience or is afraid of incorporating weights into their exercise routine. For strength gains, resistance training also known as strength training is defined by using external weight or using the person’s own body weight to increase body strength. Resistance training can be defined as progressively overloading the neuromuscular system using near maximal muscle contractions against high resistance. …

The Effects Of Cordycepssinesison Maximal Aerobic Capacity, Jessica Mcneil
Kinesiology Student Research
Cordyceps sinesis (Cs) is a Chinese herb extracted from a nontoxic mushroom. Research has shown that this herb increases in ventilation and exercise capacity. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of transportation and utilization of oxygen during incremental exercise. VO2max is expressed in both absolute rate in liters of oxygen per minute (L/min) and relative rate in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). Research with Cs has shown to increase vasodilation, which increases the efficiency and rate of delivery of oxygen to the working tissues.
Effects Of Muscle Contraction With Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation On Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain, Trisha Hawker
Effects Of Muscle Contraction With Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation On Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain, Trisha Hawker
Kinesiology Student Research
Non specific chronic low back pain (NCLBP)is pain that lasts at least 12 weeks and does not have a specific cause, it is one of the most common health problems in the world. Common exercise programs for this population include strengthening/stretching of the large back and abdominal muscles. Pain signals that flow along the peripheral nerves to the spinal cord encounter nerve gates that can inhibit or facilitate the incoming nerve impulses. The traditional use of the conventional high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)was based on the gate control theory of pain, suggesting that counter-stimulation of the nervous system could …
