According to Franchini et al. (2018) absolute handgrip strength (HGS) increases within different weight classifications, whereas higher relative strength has been seen in light weight categories. The purpose of this study is to discover the extent to which lean muscle mass (LMM), fat free mass (FFM), age, and height correlate to HGS in student-athletes compared to non-student-athlete males. It is hypothesized that having a higher parameter in body mass, height, and FFM will result in a higher HGS in athletes than in non-athletes. It is secondly hypothesized that an increase in age will decrease absolute handgrip strength.

The purpose of this study was to determine if increased use of depth drop in strength and conditioning programs decreases ACL rupture risk factors. Injury rates for volleyball players are 4.21 injuries per 100 hours. The knee is the second most common injury site behind the ankle. The most common knee injury for female volleyball players are ACL injuries. (Migliorini et al., 2019). Female athletes are 2-10 times more likely to sustain ACL injuries than males. (Silvers & Mandelbaum, 2007). Jump landings are the most common non-contact ACL rupture mechanism. Collegiate women’s volleyball players, on average, jump between 40-220 times …

Aerobic fitness relies on ample storage of all macronutrients that come from one’s diet. Dietary recommendations were introduced in the United States in 1977, which have been disputed as to whether a low- or high-fat diet is better for performance. For female athletes, more uncertainty is present due to the lack of research on this population’s dietary guidelines. There is a need for further research comparing high- and low-fat diet influence on the aerobic capacity of adolescent female athletes. This study recruited 30 elite female soccer players, ages 16-18 from Charlotte, NC, who were randomly assigned to either a low- …

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) measures the energy a person requires to sustain vital body function while at rest. RMR is the most considerable element of total daily energy expenditure (McArdle et al., 2015). RMR varies depending on gender, age, weight, fat-free body mass (FFM), and physical fitness level (McMurray et al., 2014). During this study, RMR was measured indirectly by measuring the volume of oxygen consumption (VO2), the volume of carbon dioxide production (VCO2) (McMurray et al., 2014). The proper protocol for measuring RMR was to have the subject complete an overnight fast and refrain from working 12-18 hours before …

The vertical jump test is a test often used to assess lower body power (Haff and Triplett, 2016). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) has been useful in assessing for a variety of respiratory or cardiac diseases (Olsson, 2005). The 6MWT requires participants to walk as far as they can in the six minutes, which is physically taxing on the body (Olsson, 2005). Studies have found that a gradual, progressive warmup can improve performance whereas static stretching can negatively impact performance (Vetter, 2007). The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 6MWT, and a 6-minute treadmill walk …
