Effects Of Foot Position During Squatting On The Quadriceps Femoris: An Electromyographic Study, Nicholas G. Murray, Daniel Cipriani, Denise O'Rand, Rebecca Reed-Jones Apr 2013

Effects Of Foot Position During Squatting On The Quadriceps Femoris: An Electromyographic Study, Nicholas G. Murray, Daniel Cipriani, Denise O'Rand, Rebecca Reed-Jones

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 6(2) : 114-125, 2013. Weightlifters have commonly believed that changing joint position can alter specific muscle activation. The magnitude of force produced by a muscle is highly dependent upon the length of the muscle. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of foot positioning on muscle activation of the superficial quadriceps as measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) during a functional squatting movement in healthy adults. Twenty physically active asymptomatic adults (7 females and 13 males) were included in the study while four different foot positions (Neutral, Internally Rotated, Externally Rotated, and Staggered) …


Leg Dominance And Its Affect On Variables Related To Leap Performance, Daniella N. Rodriguez, Scott P. Mclean, Ph.D., Jimmy C. Smith, Ph.D. Feb 2013

Leg Dominance And Its Affect On Variables Related To Leap Performance, Daniella N. Rodriguez, Scott P. Mclean, Ph.D., Jimmy C. Smith, Ph.D.

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: To achieve the desired aesthetics of leaping in dance it is necessary that these movements are performed equally well from either leg. However, these leaps may naturally be better performed from the dominant leg than the non-dominant leg. A lack of relevant experimental evidence precludes an assessment of this idea. PURPOSE: To determine whether a dancer executes a leap from her dominant leg better than from her non-dominant leg. METHODS: Ten experienced college aged dancers, (20 ± 1.0 yr, 62.3 ± 8.3 kg, 1.67 ± 0.1 m), performed six trials of a stationary leap off of a force plate. …


The Effect Of Skill Level On The Mechanics Of A Golf Chip Shot, James Charles, Dr. Jimmy Smith, Dr. Scott Mclean Feb 2013

The Effect Of Skill Level On The Mechanics Of A Golf Chip Shot, James Charles, Dr. Jimmy Smith, Dr. Scott Mclean

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: It is popularly believed that maintaining more weight on the front foot and reducing wrist action on the downswing are characteristics of a successful golf chip shot. Therefore, experienced golfers should utilize these strategies more than inexperienced golfers when performing this shot. PURPOSE: To analyze the effect of skill level on weight shift and wrist action in a golf chip shot. METHODS: Fourteen golfers (23.4 ± 5.81 yr, 1.77 ± .073 m, 72.1 ± 10.4 kg), seven inexperienced (little to no training in chipping) and seven experienced (at least 8 years of training), completed three chip shots each. Trials …


Effects Of Diverting Activities On Recovery From Repeated Maximum Voluntary Contractions, Micheal J. Luera, Matt S. Stock, Jocarol E. Shields, Ibrahim K. Munayer Feb 2013

Effects Of Diverting Activities On Recovery From Repeated Maximum Voluntary Contractions, Micheal J. Luera, Matt S. Stock, Jocarol E. Shields, Ibrahim K. Munayer

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Previous investigations have demonstrated that diverting activities (e.g., contralateral exercise and pinching one’s fingers together) can minimize the severity of muscle fatigue that occurs during exercise. In addition to their ability to resist fatigue during exercise, diverting activities may help subjects recover between work bouts. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of mental and physical diverting activities on recovery from fatiguing isometric muscle actions. On three separate occasions, twelve men (mean ± SD age = 22 ± 1 years) and nine women (age = 22 ± 2 years) performed ten repeated, ten-second isometric maximum voluntary contractions …


Biomechanical And Statistical Effects Of Changing The Three-Point Line In Division Iii Women’S Basketball, Katelyn E. Bartell, Jimmy Smith, Scott P. Mclean Feb 2013

Biomechanical And Statistical Effects Of Changing The Three-Point Line In Division Iii Women’S Basketball, Katelyn E. Bartell, Jimmy Smith, Scott P. Mclean

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The NCAA has recently changed the distance for the three-point line in women’s basketball, which may affect shooting mechanics for a three-point shot. While the fundamental movements of the shot should not be affected by increasing distance, some elements of the shot may need to change to propel the ball the required distance. PURPOSE: To analyze the effect of increased distance of the basketball three-point line on shot kinematics and shooting performance of female basketball players. METHODS: Ten players (19.0±0.6 yrs, 173.7±8.7 cm, 64.0±8.2 kg) from an NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball team shot from the current three-point line, 20’9” …


Gender Comparisons Of The Electromyographic Responses To Knee Extension Exercises With Different Initial Restriction Pressures, Guillermo Perez B.S., Joe Angel Lopez B.S., Murat Karabulut Ph.D, Cscs Feb 2013

Gender Comparisons Of The Electromyographic Responses To Knee Extension Exercises With Different Initial Restriction Pressures, Guillermo Perez B.S., Joe Angel Lopez B.S., Murat Karabulut Ph.D, Cscs

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The effects of blood flow restriction training (BFR) may be impacted by the several physiological and biological differences found between genders. Since the pattern of regional body composition may be different between males and females, the impact of tightness of the restrictive cuffs (initial restrictive pressure; IRP) might be different for females causing variation in the level of muscle activation; therefore research on a female population is needed to have a complete understanding of BFR. PURPOSE: To compare changes in electromyography (EMG) amplitude (RMS) and median frequency (MDF) in males and females during application of different IRPs of 40-45 mmHg …
