Step It Up: A Pilot Study Of The Physical Demands Of Division I Team’S Soccer Matches Versus Semi-Professional And Collegiate Competition, Madalyn Carrasco, Robert G. Lockie

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

In spring, Division I (DI) men’s soccer teams have the opportunity to play collegiate and semi-professional (SP) teams. It could be expected that players on a collegiate team express higher workloads in a match against better competition. GPS data could be used to measure these workloads. However, at the collegiate level some coaches may takeaway GPS use in matches from some players as disciplinary action. This could impact data recorded by team sport scientists. PURPOSE: To compare physical demands measured by GPS metrics of a DI team in matches versus collegiate and SP competition in a real-world environment. METHODS: GPS …

Qualitative Analysis Of A Novel Approach By Kinesiology Students To Increase Population Physical Activity In Underserved Communities, Joshua Carlos, Lisa Chaudhari, Rachel Lang-Balde, Steven Loy

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

3 WINS Fitness (3W) is a free exercise program delivered by kinesiology students to underserved communities. Without external funding it has grown and been sustained since 2011. PURPOSE: With an intention of developing students’ professional skills, 3W also aims to reduce health disparities and increase community health by increasing physical activity. With 74% of the US population failing the Physical Activity Guidelines for cardiovascular/strength training, programs like 3W are needed. There has been no qualitative analysis of 3W to determine benefits for students/participants until now. METHODS: The analysis of 3W involved nine on-line focus groups (FG). The FG …

Autonomic And Cardiovascular Responses To Acute Exercise In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Allison T. Bui, Gustavo Aldama, Kauionalani P. Kekuawela, Jacob A. Manriquez, Areum K. Jensen

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological disorder identified in early childhood and is characterized by impaired social interaction and atypical behaviors. Limited studies reported that children with ASD tend to have higher heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) at rest compared to typically developing children (TDC). Previously, we reported that HR and blood flow (BF) did not alter during exercise while BP significantly increased in ASD. Thus, we thought that ASD may have impaired autonomic control of cardiac output via differential contribution of HR and stroke volume (SV) to regulate BP during acute exercise. PURPOSE: To …

College Student Self-Efficacy For Exercise In Relation To Reported Physical Activity Levels During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Angelez Becerra, Andrea Hughes, Sarah L. Dunn Ph.D.

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The global COVID-19 pandemic may be detrimental to a college student’s motivation to exercise with less physical activity (PA) levels recorded, possibly due to the closure of gyms or home isolation. While little is known about self-efficacy for exercise (SEE) in college students, how it relates to age in this population during a pandemic needs further investigation. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between SEE and PA levels in college students and if age was a factor. It was hypothesized that SEE would be positively associated with PA status and negatively to college student age, …

Arch Characteristics Among Habitual Users Of Minimalist Footwear, Kaleb M. Barker, Kirk E. Bassett, Spencer G. Straddeck, Sarah T. Ridge

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Purported to mimic the benefits of barefoot walking, minimalist footwear (MF) is becoming popular for daily use among the general public. Though evidence suggests that MF may have a positive effect on foot health, further investigation is required to determine the mechanisms which contribute to these observed effects. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to measure differences in medial longitudinal arch characteristics between Habitual users of Minimalist shoes (HM) and Habitual users of Cushioned shoes (HC). This information may provide insight regarding the causes of MF benefits. METHODS: Arch height data was collected from twelve healthy HC …

Kinematics And Motor Responses Of Law Enforcement Officers In A Spontaneous Lethal Threat Scenario, Michael A. Kantor, Dane Bartz, William Lewinski, Robert Pettitt Facsm

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

When law enforcement officers (LEOs) face a spontaneous act of lethal force, there is no “warning or foreperiod” as in typical assessments of motor response, causing a startle response to occur. The firearm draw has been tested in controlled settings; however, such an analysis when under duress has not been examined for motor response. PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate LEOs firearm draw and motor response following a spontaneous presentation of lethal force in a training scenario. METHODS: A total of 22 active duty LEOs engaged in training scenario under the ruse of a …
