Health & Human Performance Faculty Publications

Maintaining physical activity is important for children with cerebral palsy (CP). This study examined whether age predicted habitual physical activity (HPA) or cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in school-aged children with CP and clarified the relationship between HPA and CRF.

Muscle-Specific Contributions To Vertical Ground Reaction Force Profiles During Countermovement Jumps: Case Studies In College Basketball Players, Kristof Kipp, Hoon Kim

Exercise Science Faculty Research and Publications

The purpose of this study was to determine muscle-specific contributions to various types of vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) profiles in collegiate basketball players. Players from a men's (n = 5; height: 1.84 ± 0.14 m; mass: 92.8 ± 11.4 kg) and a women's (n = 5; 1.71 ± 0.09 m; mass: 80.1 ± 17.6 kg) basketball team completed 3–5 countermovement jumps (CMJ) while motion capture and force plate data were recorded. Muscle-specific contributions to vGRF were calculated through vGRF decomposition analysis. Profiles of vGRF were analyzed based on the presence of unimodal or bimodal peaks during the …

Impact Of Age And School Instruction Mode On Children’S Occupations Early In The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Survey Study, Samuel Nemanich, Gabriel M. Velez, Ann Millard, Anne Pleva

Occupational Therapy Faculty Research and Publications

Setting: Home-based survey of U.S. residents.

Participants: Parents of 208 children (46.2% female) between ages 5 and 18 yr were surveyed at two waves: March through April …
