An Analysis Of Female Roles In Popular Sports Video Games, Brennan W. Galloway
An Analysis Of Female Roles In Popular Sports Video Games, Brennan W. Galloway
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles and portrayal of female characters in popular sports video games. The 15 best-selling sports games of 2005 were played by the researcher without a time-limit or specified path within the game. Gameplay was videotaped and analyzed using a qualitative, descriptive participant- observation model (Glesne, 2006). This method is unique to video game analysis, as previous studies have used quantitative methods. Gameplay was typically about three hours for each game, and copious notes were taken during gameplay. Roles were then analyzed using a framework from previous work in both sports media …

The paper will begin by providing a background of youth sport involvement, and include the benefits and drawbacks of youth sport participation. To ensure that young athletes are positively motivated toward sport participation, it is important to understand their reasons for participation, as well as how others, such as parents, impact their motivation toward sport. This paper will address a number of motivational theories. Deci and Ryan's cognitive evaluation …
A Study Of Running Injury Rates In College Age Track Athletes, Scott Emerson
A Study Of Running Injury Rates In College Age Track Athletes, Scott Emerson
Graduate Theses
Emerson S.E. A Study of Running Injury Rates in College Age Track Athlete’s. 2006. One hundred and twenty college age track athletes filled out a questionnaire on running and injuries. A 4-page questionnaire consisting of 33 questions divided in four sections: personal, activity, presence of a current injury, and injury history. Of the 120 athletes, 43 claimed they were currently injured, while 56 had suffered an injury within the previous 12 months. The most significant factors associated with a current running injury was having a previous injury within the past 12 months (.004) and running mileage (.027). The knee was …
Dads Matter: A Phenomenological Exploration Of Fathers' Influence On Collegiate Female Athletes' Sport Experience, Tanya Raquel Prewitt
Dads Matter: A Phenomenological Exploration Of Fathers' Influence On Collegiate Female Athletes' Sport Experience, Tanya Raquel Prewitt
Masters Theses
Female sport history, stereotypes of female athletes, and the socialization of females in sport that currently influence female athletes cannot be disregarded when attempting to understand the psychology of the female sport participant (Brustad, 2002). Additionally, reciprocal relationships between men's and women's lives need to be examined in sport studies and in all fields, even though few have been conducted (McKay, Messner, & Sabo, 2000). Furthermore, little empirical research has been done on the father-daughter relationship, and, in particular, its influence on girls' and women's experiences in sport. Therefore, the purpose of this project was aimed at exploring female collegiate …
Validation Of Measures By The Lifecorder Ex Activity Monitor, Scott Andrew Schmidt
Validation Of Measures By The Lifecorder Ex Activity Monitor, Scott Andrew Schmidt
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of the Lifecorder EX activity monitor in calculating resting metabolic rate, counting steps taken at a variety of speeds, reporting energy expenditure across a range of intensities, and categorizing exercise intensity in descriptive units as light (1-3), moderate (4-6), and vigorous (7-9). Ten male (24.6 ± 5.3 years) and ten female (26.6 ± 5.1 years) recreationally active adults participated in this study. Height, weight, resting metabolic rate, and body composition were measured prior to performing treadmill exercise at 9 speeds (54, 67, 80, 94, 107, 121, 134, 147, 161 m•min …
Validation Of The Parvomedics Trueone® 2400 Metabolic Measurement System For Measuring Resting Metabolic Rate In A Heterogeneous Adult Population, Tracie M. Weinheimer
Validation Of The Parvomedics Trueone® 2400 Metabolic Measurement System For Measuring Resting Metabolic Rate In A Heterogeneous Adult Population, Tracie M. Weinheimer
Masters Theses
The primary purpose of this study was to validate and compare the accuracy of the ParvoMedics TrueOne® 2400 Metabolic Measurement System in measuring resting VO2 against the criterion Douglas bag method, and secondarily to compare the Douglas bag measures of VO2 to those from the ParvoMedics TrueMax® 2400 Metabolic Measurement System, which has been previously validated up to near maximal metabolic rates (3). Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is determined by measuring the oxygen consumption (VO2) of the subject lying in the supine position in the early morning following an overnight fast. The TrueOne® system uses a …
The Total And Specific Dimensions Of Self Concept Related To Female Participation In Collegiate Athletics, Dane Bradford Beary
The Total And Specific Dimensions Of Self Concept Related To Female Participation In Collegiate Athletics, Dane Bradford Beary
Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine if differences existed between female collegiate sport participation and non-participation, as well as female collegiate individual and team sport participation on the total, the specific dimensions of self-concept and supplementary scores as rendered by the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale Second Edition TSCS:2 (Fitts & Warren, 1996). A subject pool of N=190 participants were used. All subjects included in data analysis were female undergraduate students. A multivariate analysis of variance (M ANOVA) was utilized to evaluate effects of sports participation versus non-participation and individual versus team sports participation on self-concept. On sports participation versus …
The Effects Of Static Stretching On Vertical Jump Performance, Tom Evans
The Effects Of Static Stretching On Vertical Jump Performance, Tom Evans
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The vertical jump can play a significant role for many athletes in various competitive sports. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect that passive static stretching has on various athletes from various sports. The athletes were asked to perform a certain amount of jumps with no stretching routine and a set of jumps with a stretching routine. The results calculated for this study did show to have a statistically significant difference between jumping with stretching and jumping without stretching.

The Contribution Of Socio-Economic Status And Maturity On Injury Risk In Youth Soccer, Kristin Noel Stoneberg
The Contribution Of Socio-Economic Status And Maturity On Injury Risk In Youth Soccer, Kristin Noel Stoneberg
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Soccer is considered the universal sport as it is played by youth in nearly every nation around the world. With such a large number of children involved in soccer, injury is inevitable. Many possible risk factors have been identified, but very little current data address other risk factors such as maturity and socio-economic status (SES). The purpose of this study was to determine injury rates and the association between injury, maturity, socio-economic status, and other risk factors in youth soccer players. There were 440 youth soccer players ages 6-18 years involved in the cohort sample and a sub-sample of 102 …
An Investigation Of The Effect Of Exercised Arm, Training Status, And Racial Background On Changes In Markers Of Muscle Damage Following Maximal Eccentric Exercise Of The Elbow Flexors, Michael J. Newton
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Despite the substantial body of research accumulated on exercise-induced muscle damage, there remain several areas that warrant further investigation. Study groups comprised of individuals from differing racial background and /or training status have the potential to influence the intra-group variability in damage markers following eccentric exercise. In addition, if a contralateral arm model is employed, intra- and inter-group variation could be influenced by the formation of groups based on limb dominance and /or the order in which the arms are exercised. Currently there is a dearth of research addressing these factors, however, these types of studies are important as they …
Effects Of Hypoxia On Exercise Induced Muscle Damage, Trevor M. Farr
Effects Of Hypoxia On Exercise Induced Muscle Damage, Trevor M. Farr
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The present study investigated the hypothesis that maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) peak torque, VJ, muscle tenderness, and plasma creatine activity would be significantly less for the condition that subjects were exposed to hypoxic (H) condition for 4 hours after eccentric exercise compared with the normoxic (N) condition.
