Exploration Of Temporal Changes In Exercise Behavior, Perceived Fitness, And Identity In Former High School Athletes Entering College, Paula-Marie Ferrara
Exploration Of Temporal Changes In Exercise Behavior, Perceived Fitness, And Identity In Former High School Athletes Entering College, Paula-Marie Ferrara
Doctoral Dissertations
Experts recommend physical activity promotion to preserve former high school athletes’ (FHSAs) post-sport transition quality. Specific understanding regarding behavioral changes over time after retirement is unknown and necessary for program development. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to document temporal changes to exercise behavior, perceived fitness, and identity in FHSAs, understand their exercise experiences over time, and explain why observed changes occurred. Methods: Participants completed eight online surveys from the beginning of their college fall to spring semesters. Questions assessed bodyweight, perceived fitness (Likert scale 1-5), aspects of self-reported exercise, perceived barriers (Likert scale 1-5), and identity (Likert …
Exploring Determinants Of Exercise-Related Affect In Older Adults Who Regularly Engage In Aerobic Exercise, Jessica Smith
Exploring Determinants Of Exercise-Related Affect In Older Adults Who Regularly Engage In Aerobic Exercise, Jessica Smith
Masters Theses
Older adults (55+ years) are a growing percentage of the United States population. Older adults are at an increased risk of developing age-related non-communicable diseases that may decrease their quality of life and increase the burden placed on the economy. Although many known health benefits are associated with regular participation in aerobic exercise, poor long-term adherence remains a concern. Because feelings of pleasure/displeasure during exercise have been cited as contributors to future intentions and behaviors, researchers have begun exploring determinants of affective responses during exercise. However, research has primarily been conducted in university students, sedentary adults, and high-active adults. Understanding …
Musculoskeletal Modeling Analysis Of Knee Joint Loading During Uphill And Downhill Waling In Patients With Total Knee Replacement, Tanner A. Thorsen
Musculoskeletal Modeling Analysis Of Knee Joint Loading During Uphill And Downhill Waling In Patients With Total Knee Replacement, Tanner A. Thorsen
Doctoral Dissertations
The purposes of these studies were to determine differences in total (TCF), medial (MCF) and lateral (LCF) tibiofemoral compartment compressive forces and related muscle forces between limbs (replaced, non-replaced, and control), and different slopes during uphill [0° (level), 5°, 10°], and downhill [0° (level), 5° 10°] using statistical parametric mapping (SPM). Static optimization was used to determine muscle and compressive forces for 9 patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 9 control participants during walking trials. Total , loading-response, and push-off TCF impulse were calculated. A 3×3 [Limb (replaced, non-replaced, control] × Slope (0°, 10°, 15°)] SPM[F] repeated measures ANOVA …
