Effectiveness Of Nintendo Ring Fit In Improving Balance Deficits After Recovery From Acl Reconstruction, Emma Lord
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a gaming system in improving balance and strength after recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Existing bilateral deficits in strength and balance were also assessed among patients. METHODS: Four participants between the ages of 18-24 were recruited for this case-control study. Participants must have had ACL reconstruction surgery in the last 2 years, been discharged from formal physical therapy, and have a continued history of participating in physical activity at least three times a week. Participants were assigned to either the experimental or control groups using counterbalancing. The two …

Comyns, TM,Murphy, J, and O’Leary, D. Reliability, usefulness, and validity of field-based vertical jump measuring devices. J Strength Cond Res 37(8): 1594–1599, 2023—The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability, usefulness, and validity of field based devices, in determining jump height (JH) during a countermovement jump (CMJ). Twenty-one male (22.8 6 2.4 years; 1.82 6 0.07m; 86.0610.4 kg) and 7 female field sport athletes (20.561.5 years; 1.6560.06 m; 65.467.2 kg) performed 3CMJs with data simultaneously recorded using a force plate (criterion measure), Opto jump, Output Capture, and Push-Band 2.0. Reliability was determined by intraclass correlation (ICC) and …

While applied performance analysts (PAs) are a well-established applied sports science practitioner group, there is no clear definition of the purpose of an analyst, their key relationships, or the expertise required to execute the role successfully. This research sought to understand how PA practitioners and educators perceive their role as applied PA practitioners. Twenty-seven applied PAs and educators with applied PA experience participated in six online focus groups, completing an online survey in advance. Reflexive thematic analysis of transcripts and survey data generated an overarching theme: embedded applied PA practitioners have a value co-creation role within performance ecosystems which is …
