Reliability And Validity Of A Commercial Running Power Meter To Indicate Metabolic Workload During Endurance Running, James Harris Hudgins Iii
Reliability And Validity Of A Commercial Running Power Meter To Indicate Metabolic Workload During Endurance Running, James Harris Hudgins Iii
Theses and Dissertations--Kinesiology and Health Promotion
Commercial running power (RP) meters may provide endurance runners and coaches with improved precision for monitoring running intensity. Cyclists rely upon the relationship between cycling power and metabolic demand to regulate physiological intensity during training and racing, independent of changes in the physical environment (e.g., terrain, wind). Research demonstrates strong reliability and validity for a specific RP meter to indicate metabolic demand within controlled running conditions. However, several potential influences on this relationship have not been investigated. Therefore, four studies were conducted with the following aims:
- Study 1: Determine the inter-limb reliability and validity of a single-limb-based RP meter …

Psychological Readiness In Injured Student-Athletes When Returning To Sport, Samantha J. Burelle
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The physical component of recovery is pertinent to success in sport performance, yet there has been an increase in awareness of psychological symptoms and psychological distress experienced by injured athletes. Thus, the psychological aspect of injuries and return to sport (RTS) process cannot be ignored. Psychological readiness (PR) is described by Podlog et al. (2015), Donald (2019), and Podlog et al. (2022) as a dynamic psychological process including factors of realistic expectation, confidence, motivation, and focus. PR addresses the psychological component necessary for a successful RTS. Measurement tools have been developed to assess PR, yet not all factors of PR …

Association Of Functional Movement Screen And Y-Balance Test Scores With Injury In Elite Fast-Pitch Softball Athletes, Xiujing Zhao
Student Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of FMS and YBT composite scores with injury in elite female fast-pitch softball athletes. Thirty-eight participants completed pre-season FMS and YBT assessments. Injury data were collected on the next day of finishing the season. FMS composite scores were significantly lower for the injured group (13.5 ± 2.4) comparison to the non-injured group 16.9 ± 1.6) (p ≤ .001, d = 1.67). Injured status was associated with lower FMS scores (r = .61; p <.001). No differences existed in YBT-UQ (p =.67, d = .14) and YBT-LQ (p =.16, d =.50) composite score between the injured (UQ = 96.0 ± 5.9, LQ = 96.7 ± 8.2) and the non-injure (UQ = 97.1 ± 1.6, LQ = 101.0 ± 9.1) groups; no significant associations were found between injury status and YBT-UQ composite scores (r = -.08; p = .64) or YBT-LQ composite scores (r = -.24; p = .14). Preseason FMS composite score was associated with subsequent injury.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a multi-ingredient pre-workout supplement (MIPS) on mental and physical performance. Seventeen exercise-trained men (n = 7) and women (n=10) completed this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, counterbalanced, crossover trial. Participants consumed either a multi-ingredient pre-workout supplement (MIPS) or a placebo in a randomized, counterbalanced order. Forty-five minutes post-consumption, the following assessments were conducted: psychomotor vigilance test (PVT), Profile of Mood States (POMS), Stroop test, vertical jump test, and a Cold pressor test. There was a one-week washout period between assessments. There were significant differences in the incongruent task for the Stroop …
