A New Measure Of Toddler Parenting Practices And Associations With Attachment And Mothers' Sensitivity, Competence, And Enjoyment Of Parenting, Melanie Zimmer-Gembeck, Haley Webb, Rae Thomas, Stefanie Klag Apr 2015

A New Measure Of Toddler Parenting Practices And Associations With Attachment And Mothers' Sensitivity, Competence, And Enjoyment Of Parenting, Melanie Zimmer-Gembeck, Haley Webb, Rae Thomas, Stefanie Klag

Self-determination theorists argue that parents can support or thwart their children’s psychological needs for relatedness, autonomy, and competence. The first aim of this study was to develop a measure to assess six dimensions of parenting theoretically linked to meeting toddlers’ needs. The second aim was to examine the associations of these dimensions with mothers’ sensitivity, attachment, and parenting attitudes. Participants were 61 mothers who expressed having parenting difficulties. Mothers completed questionnaires to assess their warmth, autonomy support, structure, rejection, coercion, and chaos, and self-reported their parenting competence and enjoyment. Mother–toddler interactions were observed to assess mothers’ sensitivity, and attachment was …


Soldier Occupational Load Carriage – A Narrative Review Of Associated Injuries, Robin Orr, Rodney Pope, Venerina Johnston, Julia Coyle Mar 2015

Soldier Occupational Load Carriage – A Narrative Review Of Associated Injuries, Robin Orr, Rodney Pope, Venerina Johnston, Julia Coyle

Rodney P Pope

This narrative review examines injuries sustained by soldiers undertaking occupational load carriage tasks. Military soldiers are required to carry increasingly heavier occupational loads. These loads have been found to increase the physiological cost to the soldier and alter their gait mechanics. Aggregated research findings suggest that the lower limbs are the most frequent anatomical site of injury associated with load carriage. While foot blisters are common, other prevalent lower limb injuries include stress fractures, knee and foot pain, and neuropathies, like digitalgia and meralgia. Shoulder neuropathies (brachial plexus palsy) and lower back injuries are not uncommon. Soldier occupational load carriage …


Acute Exercise And Gastric Emptying: A Meta-Analysis And Implications For Appetite Control, Katy Horner, Matthew Schubert, Ben Desbrow, Nuala Byrne, Neil King Mar 2015

Acute Exercise And Gastric Emptying: A Meta-Analysis And Implications For Appetite Control, Katy Horner, Matthew Schubert, Ben Desbrow, Nuala Byrne, Neil King

Nuala Byrne

Background: Gastric emptying (GE) could influence exercise-induced changes in appetite and energy intake. GE also could contribute tochanges in gastric symptoms and the availability of nutrients during exercise, which will subsequently affect performance. Objective: The objective of this review was to determine the effects of acute exercise on GE using a systematic review and meta-analysis. The most common parameters to determine GE were selected, consisting of half-emptying time and volume emptied. Oral-caecal transit time (OCTT) was also examined. Data Sources: Research databases (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, SPORTDiscus) were searched through November 2013 for original studies, abstracts, theses and dissertations …


The Effect Of Low-Volume, High-Intensity Interval Training On Blood Glucose Markers, Anthropometric Measurements, And Cardiorespiratory Fitness In Patients With Type Ii Diabetes., Sujoy Bose Dec 2014

The Effect Of Low-Volume, High-Intensity Interval Training On Blood Glucose Markers, Anthropometric Measurements, And Cardiorespiratory Fitness In Patients With Type Ii Diabetes., Sujoy Bose

The profound biologic, & societal burden of the syndrome of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is subject of numerous ongoing research. There is significant interest in non-pharmacologic glycemic control, principally by exercise. While beneficial effects of generic exercise on glucose metabolism have been well established in literature, there is a paucity of research on the volume, intensity, & type of the most optimal forms of exercise that affect glycemic physiology in those with type II DM. The goal of this study was to perform a systematic review of the impact of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on glycemic control in people with …
