Validity Of The Crouter 2-Regression Model For Predicting Energy Expenditure: Transitions From Rest To Activity, Erin E. Kuffel
Validity Of The Crouter 2-Regression Model For Predicting Energy Expenditure: Transitions From Rest To Activity, Erin E. Kuffel
Masters Theses
The Crouter 2-regression model (15) is a new approach for predicting MET values. However, the Crouter 2-regression model may misclassify walking/jogging during transition periods (i.e. during the first and last minute of the activity) due to the high coefficient of variation resulting in an overestimation of MET values. Purpose: The purpose was to examine the Crouter 2-regression model for predicting MET values during transitions from rest to activity and back to rest. It was hypothesized that starting a walking bout partway through a minute will lead to a misclassification, due to the high coefficient of variation, and therefore over-predict MET …

Physiologic Changes Occurring During A 592-Mile Hike On The Appalachian Trail, Patricia Gayle Williams
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to assess physiologic changes during a 592-mile hike of the Appalachian Trail. The participants included 2 physically active nonsmoking male adults, 23 and 26 years of age. The participants were both experienced backpackers attempting a 592-mile northbound hike of the AT in the summer of 2006. Participants were tested before and after hiking. Participants underwent the following tests: resting BP, resting HR, height and weight, body fat, BMD, lactate threshold, VO2peak, maximal HR, curl-ups, push-ups, and sit-and-reach. Although the hike was ended prematurely after 474 miles, many changes were observed. Body mass, body …
