Parkinson's Disease And Exercise: Steps Into A Hopeful Future, Jacob Barker
Parkinson's Disease And Exercise: Steps Into A Hopeful Future, Jacob Barker
Spring Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
In the world of medicine and disease interventions, exercise is too often underlooked as a viable form of treatment or complementary treatment to medication. This is especially true with Parkinson’s Disease, a disease that attacks the basal ganglia of the brain and impairs neuromuscular function. In my analysis, I read a perspective from a PD patient, Gerry Hill, who has struggled with the disease himself and how he used physical activity to aid in his battle with the disease for both physical and psychological aid. Additionally, I performed research to understand how exercise benefits function within the brain. Aerobic exercise, …
Mouthguard Efficacy In Baseball Pitching Velocity, Nathan Iskowitz
Mouthguard Efficacy In Baseball Pitching Velocity, Nathan Iskowitz
Longwood Senior Theses
Successful pitching in baseball may be due to several factors including the mechanics of the motion, the strength, power, flexibility of the athlete, as well as their intent and fatigue levels. The pitching motion is a very powerful, violent, complex and abnormal range of motion of the body. In recent studies, it has been widely evidenced that the ability to produce instantaneous high peak force outputs is related to success in sport. Therefore, the ability to produce higher peak force may be related to the ability to pitching in baseball. Mouthguards have been shown to significantly increase power production in …
Effect Of Different Music Genres On Cognitive Task Performance After High Intensity Interval Training, Derek Jones
Effect Of Different Music Genres On Cognitive Task Performance After High Intensity Interval Training, Derek Jones
Longwood Senior Theses
The effects of high intensity exercise on cognitive performance are not fully understood. Music can affect physiological responses to exercise which may also impact cognitive performance. The aim of this study was to determine if music could impact cognitive performance after a bout of high intensity exercise. METHODS: Twelve subjects (n=7 males, n=5 females, 20.3 ± 1.7 y; 72.2 ± 14.9 kg; 1.70 ± 0.09 m) completed the Stroop test after a short (12 min) bout of high intensity interval exercise while listening to either Classical, Rock, or No Music. Subjects completed the Brunel Music Rating Inventory after listening to …

Position And Time: Examination Of Less Scores For Division 1 Basketball Players, Jessica Smith
Longwood Senior Theses
The purpose of this research was to examine differences in LESS scores between frontcourt, backcourt, male, and female NCAA Division 1 basketball players and to measure any changes in LESS scores between the beginning and end of the season.
The Effect Of The Annual Training Cycle On Aerobic Capacity In Division I Female Soccer Players, Chase S. Mcpherson
The Effect Of The Annual Training Cycle On Aerobic Capacity In Division I Female Soccer Players, Chase S. Mcpherson
Longwood Senior Theses
Purpose: To assess the effect of variable training stress throughout the annual training cycle on aerobic capacity (AC) in female soccer players. Methods: Eleven Division l female soccer players (Mean ± SD: 19.3 ± 1.0 yrs; 164 ± 6.4 cm; 60.1 ± 5.4 kg; 19.44 ± 3.5 %BF, 48.3 ± 4.0 kg FFM, 43.3 ± 3.3 ml/kg/min VO2max) were tested across the annual training cycle at six specific time points (B1-B6): post-season 2016 (B1), transition (detraining) (B2), spring-season (B3), pre-season (B4), mid-season (B5), and post-season 2017 (B6). Prior to exercise for each testing block, subjects arrived at the lab where …
Periodization And The Annual Training Cycle: Effects On Anaerobic Power And Capacity In Division I Female Soccer Athletes, Lindsay Brown
Periodization And The Annual Training Cycle: Effects On Anaerobic Power And Capacity In Division I Female Soccer Athletes, Lindsay Brown
Longwood Senior Theses
Seasonal variations in sprint speed, jumping power and repeated-sprint capacity have been shown to occur throughout an annual training cycle. However, how these changes in power and anaerobic capacity throughout the calendar year affect the maintenance of power and anaerobic capacity over the competitive season for Division I female soccer athletes, is not currently known. The aim of this study was to observe the changes in anaerobic power and capacity over the annual training cycle in collegiate female soccer athletes. Multiple anaerobic power tests were performed on fourteen Division I female soccer athletes (Mean ± SD: 19.4 ± 1.04yrs; 60.8 …
