Using Mixed Methods To Measure The Perception Of Community Capacity In An Academic–Community Partnership For A Walking Intervention, Charkarra Anderson-Lewis, Diana Castellanos, Arnecca Byrd, Karen Zynda, Alicia Sample, Vickie Reed, Mary Beard, Latessa Minor, Kathleen Yadrick

Diana Cuy Castellanos

H.U.B. City Steps is a 5-year community-based participatory research walking intervention designed to help lower blood pressure in a majority African American population in southern Mississippi via community collaboration and capacity building, increased walking, culturally tailored health education sessions, and motivational interviewing. Building community capacity for physical activity is a key component of this intervention. Qualitative and quantitative methods have been used to assess how project stakeholders perceive the community capacity-building efforts of the project. This article illustrates the baseline results of this mixed methods approach from the perspective of three groups of stakeholders: project researchers and staff, community advisory …

Co-Active Coaching As An Intervention For Obesity Among Female University Students, Melissa Van Zandvoort, Jennifer Irwin, Don Morrow

Donald Morrow

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of Co-active coaching on obese female university students’ body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), functional health status and self-esteem, and conjointly to identify the coaching skills and primary agenda topics that facilitate coaching’s efficacy as an intervention for obesity.

Design: A multiple-baseline, single-subject research design was utilized.Methods: Two certified coaches provided an average of nine, 35-minute, one-on-one sessions with five students whose BMI?30kg/m2 (obesity threshold). Measures included BMI, WC, the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Visual inspection was used to analyze changes in …

Re-Asserting Small-Town Exceptionalism: Facebook And Iowa Girls’ Six-Player Basketball, Shelley Lucas, Jaime Schultz

Shelley Lucas

Iowa girls’ high school basketball is unique for many reasons, not the least of which is the longevity of the half-court, two-dribble version of basketball colloquially known as “six-on-six.” Small town and rural schools continued to support, celebrate and play six-on-six until 1993, even though national basketball rules changed to the full court, five-player game in 1971. Although the ties between traditional notions of community and six-on-six have withered since the game’s discontinuation, new, transitory communities have emerged to sustain its remembrance. For this purposes of this paper, we are particularly interested in a Facebook page titled “I Played 6 …

Women’S Cycle Racing: Past Strategies, Future Challenges, Shelley Lucas

Shelley Lucas

In this presentation, I explore the challenges associated with long distance women’s road cycle racing from a variety of perspectives, including athletes, managers, promoters, and governing bodies. This exploration covers several decades, c. 1950s - 1980s, from some of the earliest sanctioned international competitions to the inclusion of women’s cycling into the Olympic Games. Women in many endurance sports, including cross-country skiing and running, have faced barriers related to sex discrimination in the larger society and in maledominated sport organizations, and cycling falls into this same tradition. An analysis of both primary and secondary sources indicates that historical, biological, and …

Challenging Perceptions Of Ability: The Women’S Challenge Stage Race, Shelley Lucas

Shelley Lucas

An Idaho institution for nearly 20 years, the Women’s Challenge bicycle race grew in size and stature despite the impact of cycling’s international governing body, whose regulations materially limited female cyclists’ physical potential.

Acsm's Metabolic Calculations Handbook, Stephen Glass, Greg Dwyer

Stephen C Glass

This handbook provides a step-by-step approach to using metabolic equations, from basic math principles to applying the equations to an exercise plan. Chapters focus separately on each equation, provide an easy-to-follow process of solving, and demonstrate the varied uses of the equation in clinical as well as fitness settings.

Each chapter includes a set of problems that focus on real-world applications of the equation. Step-by-step problem solution explanations are provided at the end of each chapter. A comprehensive exam at the end of the book tests the reader's skill in using the equations.

The Inclusion Of Women Cyclists In The Olympics, Shelley Lucas

Shelley Lucas

This paper provides preliminary findings from my study of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to allow women cyclists to compete in the Olympic Games. Male cyclists had contested both road and track cycling events since the resumption of the modern games in 1896, but women were not allowed to compete until 1984—and initially, they were limited to participating in the road race only.

Imaging Islets Labeled Wth Magnetic Nanoparticules At 1.5 Tesla, J.H. Tai, Paula Foster, Alma Rosales, Biao Feng, Craig Ha, Violetta Martinez, Soha Ramadan, Jonatan Snir, C.W. Melling, Savita Dhanvantari, Brian Rutt, David White

Jamie Melling

We have developed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for imaging Feridex (superparamagnetic iron oxide [SPIO])-labeled islets of Langerhans using a standard clinical 1.5-Tesla (T) scanner and employing steady-state acquisition imaging sequence (3DFIESTA). Both porcine and rat islets were labeled with SPIO by a transfection technique using a combination of poly-l-lysine and electroporation. Electron microscopy demonstrated presence of SPIO particles within the individual islet cells, including beta-cells and particles trapped between cell membranes. Our labeling method produced a transfection rate of 860 pg to 3.4 ng iron per islet, dependent on the size of the islet. The labeling procedure did …
