Use And Misuse Of The Likert Item Responses And Other Ordinal Measures, Phillip A. Bishop, Robert L. Herron Jul 2015

Use And Misuse Of The Likert Item Responses And Other Ordinal Measures, Phillip A. Bishop, Robert L. Herron

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 297-302, 2015. Likert, Likert-type, and ordinal-scale responses are very popular psychometric item scoring schemes for attempting to quantify people’s opinions, interests, or perceived efficacy of an intervention and are used extensively in Physical Education and Exercise Science research. However, these numbered measures are generally considered ordinal and violate some statistical assumptions needed to evaluate them as normally distributed, parametric data. This is an issue because parametric statistics are generally perceived as being more statistically powerful than non-parametric statistics. To avoid possible misinterpretation, care must be taken in analyzing these types of data. The use …

Effect Of Beetroot Juice On Self-Regulated, Moderate-Intensity Exercise, Jordyn N. Rienks, Andrea A. Vanderwoude, Elizabeth Maas, Zachary M. Blea, Andrew W. Subudhi

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 277-286, 2015. Dietary nitrate supplementation has been shown to reduce oxygen consumption at a fixed work rate. We questioned whether a similar effect would be observed during variable work rate exercise at a specific rating of perceived exertion (RPE), as is commonly prescribed for aerobic training sessions. Using a double-blind, placebo controlled, crossover design, ten females (25 ± 3 years; VO2peak 37.1 ± 5.3 ml/kg/min) performed two 20-min cycle ergometer trials at a constant RPE of 13 (somewhat hard) 2.5 hours following ingestion of 140 ml of concentrated beetroot juice (12.9 mmol …

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 265-276, 2015. While there is strong evidence measuring the association between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and socioeconomic status (SES) there are limited data on the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and SES. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine differences in CRF and LTPA between household income and individual education in young adults. A sample of 171 (males n=98, female n=73) young adults participated in the University of Pittsburgh-Physical Activity Study. Participants completed CRF testing. Demographic characteristics were assessed via interviewer administered standardized survey and LTPA was assessed using the interviewer …

Risk Of Disordered Eating Among Division I Female College Athletes, Elizabeth Wells, Alexandra Chin, Jennifer Tacke, Jennifer Bunn

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 256-264, 2015. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of disordered eating (DE) among female athletes in lean and non-lean sports using the ATHLETE survey. The ATHLETE survey is divided into six different constructs, and a high score indicates a high risk for DE. Eighty-three varsity female athletes from eight Campbell University sports teams completed the survey and a medical history form anonymously. The sports were divided into sports that traditionally have a high risk for DE (lean sports) and those with a low risk (non-lean sports). The lean sports included: …

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 243-255, 2015. Caffeine enhances aerobic performance, but research is equivocal regarding anaerobic performance. This study examined effects of caffeine (7 mg/kg) on anaerobic performance in anaerobically active males (n = 10). Participants completed counterbalanced, double blind caffeine (Caf) and placebo (Pl) trials including a) 6 x 15 s upper body Wingates (UWant), b) 6 x 15 s lower body Wingates (LWant) and c) 6 x15 s maximal effort static hand grip test (HG) with 3 min recovery between bouts, 30 min between exercises. Peak power (Ppeak), mean power …


The Relationship Of Gender And Self-Efficacy On Social Physique Anxiety Among College Students, Sara M. Rothberger, Brandonn Harris, Daniel Czech, Bridget F. Melton Jul 2015

The Relationship Of Gender And Self-Efficacy On Social Physique Anxiety Among College Students, Sara M. Rothberger, Brandonn Harris, Daniel Czech, Bridget F. Melton

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 234-242, 2015. The anxiety or fear associated with physique evaluation is defined as Social Physique Anxiety (SPA). Numerous studies have examined this construct, yet a gap exists exploring this phenomenon among current college students with SPA, self-efficacy, and gender concurrently. Therefore, the purposes of this study included quantitatively analyzing the association between SPA, gender, and self-efficacy. Participants included 237 students at a Southeastern university participating in jogging, body conditioning, or weight training courses. Analysis of Variance yielded a significant main effect for self-efficacy as well, as those with lower self-efficacy displayed higher levels of …


Trx Suspension Training: A New Functional Training Approach For Older Adults - Development, Training Control And Feasibility, Angus Gaedtke, Tobias Morat Jul 2015

Trx Suspension Training: A New Functional Training Approach For Older Adults - Development, Training Control And Feasibility, Angus Gaedtke, Tobias Morat

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 224-233, 2015. Because of its proximity to daily activities functional training becomes more important for older adults. Sling training, a form of functional training, was primarily developed for therapy and rehabilitation. Due to its effects (core muscle activation, strength and balance improvements), sling training may be relevant for older adults. However, to our knowledge no recent sling training program for healthy older adults included a detailed training control which is indeed an essential component in designing and implementing this type of training to reach positive effects. The purpose of this study was to develop …

Sensitivity Of Prescribing High-Intensity, Interval Training Using The Critical Power Concept, Robert W. Pettitt, Ashley M. Placek, Ida E. Clark, Nicholas A. Jamnick, Steven R. Murray Jul 2015

Sensitivity Of Prescribing High-Intensity, Interval Training Using The Critical Power Concept, Robert W. Pettitt, Ashley M. Placek, Ida E. Clark, Nicholas A. Jamnick, Steven R. Murray

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 202-212, 2015. The critical power (CP) concept enables the calculation of time to exhaustion (tLIM) for a given power output above CP using the equation of tLIM = W’/(power – CP), where W’ is the curvature constant, and CP is the asymptote for the power-tLIM relationship. The CP concept offers great promise for prescribing high-intensity interval training (HIIT); however, knowledge on the concept’s sensitivity is lacking (i.e., how much of a difference in W’ expenditure is needed to evoke different metabolic responses). We tested if two …
