The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of self defense instruction of female cadets at the United States Military Academy on their physical self-efficacy. All95 female cadets enrolled in PE115 during the fall of2002 were surveyed on the first and last day of class to determine their levels of perceived physical ability (PPA) and physical self-presentation confidence (PSPC). Both the PP A and the PSPC are subscales ofthe Physical Self-Efficacy Scale (PSE). Completed data were collected from 80 (84 percent) ofthe subjects. Statistical data analysis included descriptive statistics and a 2x2 multivariate analysis of variance (MANOV A). …
The Effect Of Local Muscle Fatigue On The Threshold Frequency Of An Electrically Induced Cramp, Marcus B. Stone
The Effect Of Local Muscle Fatigue On The Threshold Frequency Of An Electrically Induced Cramp, Marcus B. Stone

Context: Muscle fatigue has been implicated as a factor in the cause of exercise associated muscle cramping. In an electrically induced muscle cramp, threshold frequency (TF) is the frequency of stimulation at which the cramp originates. Therefore, the TF of a fatigued muscle should shift from a previously established baseline. Objective: To determine the effect of local muscle fatigue on TF of electrically induced muscle cramp. Design: A 2 X 2 repeated measures design was used for this study. The independent variables were test (pre- and post-) and condition (control and fatigue). The dependent variable was TF of an electrically …
