Effects Of Preshot Routine Time And Movements On Free Throw Shooting Performance, Mick G. Mack

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that length of preshot routine and use of a set sequence of movements have on free throw shooting in basketball. Seventeen members comprising the University of Northern Iowa intercollegiate men's basketball team attempted 20 free throws in each of four different conditions: (1) normal routine, (2) normal routine with lengthened time, (3) altered routine with normal time, and (4) altered routine with lengthened time. For the altered time condition, subjects used a minimum of 200% of their normal time. For the altered routine condition, subjects used a routine provided by …

The Effect Of Prolonged Cycling At The Conconi-Predicted Anaerobic Threshold On Blood Lactate Concentrations, Michael John Newton

Theses : Honours

A study which assessed the validity of the Conconi test to predict the anaerobic threshold (AnT) was undertaken with 20 sport science students. The study involved the subjects undertaking three tests over a one week period. Each test was separated by a period of at least 48 hours which allowed the subjects time to recover. The subjects initially completed a Conconi test which attempted to predict their AnT through plotting heart rate against work intensity. Following the specified recovery, a maximum oxygen uptake test (V0₂max) was undertaken by all subjects. Following another recovery period those subjects who produced …

The Effects Of Passive Warming On Muscle Injury, Timothy Strickler, Terry Malone, William E. Garrett

Peer Reviewed Articles

This study investigated the effects of passive warming on the biomechanical properties of the musculotendinous unit. Paired tibialis anterior (TA) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in the rabbit hindlimb were passively heated to different temperatures and then subjected to controlled strain injury. The parameters examined were: 1) percent increase in length to failure, 2) force to failure, 3) energy absorbed by the musculotendinous unit to failure, and 4) site of failure. Warmed (39°C ± 0.5°C) TA (P ≤ 0.01) and EDL (P ≤ 0.05) muscles achieved a greater increase in length from rest before failing than did their contralateral …

Comparison Of Body Fat Percentages Of Lean Athletes, Lean Non-Athletic Students, And Body Builders As Determined By Bioelectrical Impedance And Hydrostatic Weighing, Troy E. Becker

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to compare bioelectrical impedance with hydrostatic weighing in lean subjects with varying amounts of fat-free mass and activity levels. The percentage of body fat of each subject was measured by anthropometry; bioelectrical impedance, using two different equations; and hydrostatic weighing (HW) methods. The two equations used for bioelectrical impedance were versions 1.51 (BIA2) and the weight management program (BIA3) from RJL Systems, Inc. HW was used as the criterion measure. The three groups were body builders, non-athletes, and athletes, with 10 subjects in each group. The mean value for age was 20.4 ± 1.8 …

Lactate Threshold, John M. Kelly D.P.E.

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The purpose of this paper is to review the delicate metabolic balance an endurance athlete must maintain to achieve a desirable performance. The optimum pace is ultimately determined by the athlete's ability to deliver large volumes of oxygen to the working muscles while simultaneously preventing excessive lactate accumulation in the tissues and blood.

Lactic acid has been associated with fatigue for nearly 80 years. This anaerobic metabolic by-product plays an important role in fatigue; however, many of the accusations concerning lactate's role in causing fatigue are unfounded or exaggerated. Its negative reputation is the result of an inadequate understanding of …

A Comparison Of The Accuracy Of Two Volleyball Forearm Passing Techniques, Vonda Mae Broek

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of the linear and non-linear forearm passing techniques used to recieve [sic] the serve in volleyball. A subproblem was to determine the extent to which each technique was used among selected NCAA Division I universities. The research design was causal comparative. The study sought to determine the relative effectiveness of the non-linear and linear serve reception techniques in passing accurately to a prescribed target area. Ten NCAA Division I universities provided twenty videotaped volleyball matches. The type and accuracy of the serve reception pass was observed and tallied. Passes were …

Determining The Contributions Of The Intrapersonal Factors Of Personality Disposition, Ability, And Attitude To Precompetitive State Anxiety, Jacquelyn Rae Wright

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative contributions of personality disposition (competitive A-trait), ability (skill level), and attitude (perceived ability, confidence, self-esteem) to state anxiety prior to competition. It was hypothesized that personality disposition (competitive A-trait) would be the strongest predictor of competitive state anxiety prior to competition.

Forty-two Luther College women basketball and softball players were selected for participation in the study. The Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) was used to assess A-trait. The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) was used to assess three subcomponents of precompetitive state anxiety (cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence). This …

The Effects Of Two Plyometric Exercises On Vertical And Horizontal Jump Performance, Joseph Daniel King

Graduate Theses

This study investigated performance outcomes of vertical and horizontal jump tests after specific horizontal and vertical plyometric training. There were forty-six subjects with an average age of 113 months. Sixteen females and thirty males were randomly assigned to one of four plyometric treatment groups. Group I performed continuous horizontal bounds. Group II performed a combination of continuous horizontal and vertical bounds. Group III executed continuous vertical bounds, and Group IV was the control group and they did not receive any training. The duration of the training sessions was six-weeks. Each subject was pretested and post-tested on vertical and horizontal jumping …

Validation Of A One-Mile Test As A Measure Of Maximum Oxygen Consumption For Males Aged 16-18 Years, Andrew John Myers

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Maximum oxygen consumption is considered to be the best indicator of the aerobic power of the cardiorespiratory system (Patton, Vogel, & Mello, 1982). The direct measure of maximum oxygen consumption requires a well-equipped laboratory, trained personnel, and a high degree of subject motivation and effort. These problems have led to attempts to develop indirect methods for estimating maximal oxygen consumption. The purpose of this study was to validate an indirect method for measuring maximum oxygen consumption. Specifically, the purpose was to validate a one-mile walk test as a measure of maximum oxygen consumption for males aged 16-18 years. Twenty-six male …

The Effect Of Interval And Continuous Training On Maximal Oxygen Consumption And Performance On The 1.5 Mile Run Of College Age Males And Females, Deborah Lynn White

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Interval and continuous training and their effects on maximal oxygen consumption have been studied extensively. Virtually all of the studies reported in the literature have defined interval training as running a given distance at a maximal or near maximal intensity with intervening [sic] rest periods. This study defined interval training as running a given distance at a submaximal intensity of 85% of the maximum heart rate. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of interval and continuous training on the maximal oxygen consumption, performance on a 1.5 mile run, and body composition of college age males and …
