Functional Electrical Stimulation For Treatment Of Drop Foot In Stroke Victims, Rebecca Makenzie Beasley
EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters
The purpose of this study was to observe how FES can improve the side effect of drop foot resulting from a stroke. It was hypothesized that FES can improve the side effect of drop foot caused by a stroke. This study was a randomized, quantitative experimental design study that consisted of two groups whose participants were recruited from local physical therapy clinics: FES group (10 participants) and control group (10 participants). Intervention occurred for six weeks, five days a week for one-hour sessions. Outcomes were measured by passive and active ROM along with pain levels. Limitations in this study are …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects that an aerobic form of exercise, such as a 5K distance run, had on the recovery of breast cancer patients after they had gone through chemotherapy. Hospitals were contacted and told to provide information regarding this study to their patients who were completing their last round of chemotherapy and being discharged. Out of all who were informed, 300 volunteered for participation. This group of 300 was split in half with 150 participants participating in the aerobic exercise and the other 150 continuing life without exercise intervention. Both groups filled out …

According to McArdle et al. (2015), Excessive Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) computes the total oxygen consumed in recovery minus the total oxygen consumed at rest during the recovery period. According to McArdle et al. (2015), VO2 mL/kg/min is defined as maximal oxygen consumption. According to McArdle et al. (2015), respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed under rest and steady-state conditions with little reliance on anaerobic metabolism. According to Dr. et al. (2004), EPOC is also known as O2 deficit and was used as a measure of anaerobic metabolism during exercise. According to …

Barefoot (BF) running is associated with biomechanical alterations that improve performance by increasing running economy (RE). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of acute BF running on RE in recreational runners. Participants (n = 20) completed treadmill trials in conventional running shoes (CRS) and BF at 60% and 80% of VO2max. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (p < 0.05) measured the effects of shoe condition on RE. Results were expected to reflect the speeddependent nature of RE, reduced shoe weight in the BF condition, individualized biomechanical and stride adjustments, and the physiological cost of task novelty. Future directions include expanding population, duration, and variable analysis.

The pull-up exercise has been used as a performance measure to assess physical fitness and muscular strength and endurance of the major muscles in the upper limb. The ability to successfully perform multiple repetitions of a pull-up is dependent upon a performer’s body mass, muscle strength, and movement style.
