Ground Reaction Forces Generated By Twenty-Eight Common Hatha Yoga Postures, Sylvia Joan Wilcox
Theses and Dissertations
Yoga adherents claim many benefits of the practice, including promotion of bone health and prevention of osteoporosis. However, few, if any, studies have investigated whether yoga enhances bone mineral density. Furthermore, none have identified force generation in yoga. The purpose of this study is to collect ground reaction force (GRF) data on a variety of common hatha yoga postures that would be practiced in fitness centers or private studios. Twelve female and eight male volunteers performed a sequence of 28 common hatha yoga postures while ground reaction force data were collected with an AMTI strain-gauge force plate. The sequence was …

A Comparison Of The Traditional, Swing, And Chicken Wing Arm Movements On Volleyball Blocking In Ncaa Division 1 Female Athletes, Taubi J. Neves
Theses and Dissertations
Blocking is highly correlated with team success. The identification of specific techniques that produce a more successful block would be helpful knowledge for coaches and players. This study compared the traditional, swing, and chicken wing arm swings in combination with the running step footwork pattern in order to determine which arm swing enabled athletes to perform a more effective block. The time it took the athletes to get off the ground and get their hands above (vertically) the net was calculated. The distance the hand reached over the net or hand penetration (displacement between the net and finger in the …

A Rapid, Flow Cytometry-Based Assay For The Determination Of Natural Killer Cell Activity In Isolated Periphery Blood Mononuclear Cells, Emily C.P. Lavoy, Brian K. Mcfarlin
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Natural killer cell activity (NKCA) is an important assessment of innate immunity in humans. Natural killer (NK) cells are known to be affected by exercise; therefore it is of interest to have an efficient method for measuring NKCA in pre- and post-exercise blood samples. Assays for NKCA include incubating human NK cells (effector cells) with stained target cells. The target cells are typically from the human leukemia cell line K562. The number of K562 target cells killed can be determined using a dead cell dye. Control target cells incubated alone provide a measure of spontaneous cell death. PURPOSE: The purpose …

Corticosterone Levels In Sedentary, Wheel, And Treadmill Acclimated Mice Following A Bout Of Forced Treadmill Running, Nadia H. Agha, Joesph Potucek, Kelley Strohacker, Whitney L. Breslin, Brian K. Mcfarlin
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Murine models have been used to study the immune response to exercise under various diet and training interventions .Our laboratory has previously studied the effect of forced exercise versus voluntary exercise on fasting blood glucose measurements. However, forced exercise may result in increased corticosterone levels. This may affect glucose levels and subsequent weight gain. Male, wild-type CD-1 mice were randomly divided into the following groups: forced exercise, wheel running, and sedentary. After a 8- weeks of the intervention, all mice were placed on a treadmill and forced to run for 30 minutes. Blood was collected from the mice prior to …

No Impact Of Cmv Or Ebv Seropositivity On The Frequency Of Highly Differentiated T-Cells In Mexican-American Adolescents, Guillaume Spielmann, Craig A. Johnston, Richard J. Simpson, Brian K. Mcfarlin, John P. Foreyt
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Recurring activations of the prevalent latent herpes viruses Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) induces immune cell division leading to the premature terminal differentiation of T-cells. Terminally differentiated T-cells are known to accumulate with age causing a reduction in the naïve T-cell repertoire, which compromises the ability of the adaptive immune system to respond to novel pathogens. Although CMV and EBV seropositivity are hallmarks of the “immune risk profile” and are known to influence the frequency of terminally differentiated T-cells and increase infection risk in adults, it is not known if CMV or EBV impacts on the frequency of these …

The Effects Of Exercise And A Low-Fat Diet On Monocyte Tlr Expression And Disease Risk In Mice, Katie C. Carpenter, Kelley Strohacker, Whitney Breslin, Nadia Agha, Thomas W. Lowder, Richard J. Simpson, Brian K. Mcfarlin
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Excess adiposity increases systemic inflammation, which is implicated in various diseases. Physical activity is a common treatment to reverse weight gain and increased disease risk; however, little evidence is available to determine if forced or voluntary exercise is more effective in mice. Such information has implications for the refinement of human exercise interventions. PURPOSE: To determine if 8-weeks of exercise combined with low-fat feeding reverses changes in disease risk, monocyte concentration and monocyte TLR2/TLR4 expression. METHODS: For 12-months, 24 CD-1 mice underwent pre-treatment, consuming either a low-fat (10% kcal from fat, N=6) or high-fat (60% kcal from fat, N=18) diet …

Cell-Surface Receptor Expression On Monocytes Of Young And Old Mice, Kelley Strohacker, Whitney L. Breslin, Brian K. Mcfarlin
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Background. Monocyte assessment is used in aging research. In humans, reduced expression of toll-like receptors, T-lymphocyte priming receptors and increases in intracellular adhesion molecules on monocytes have been associated with functional decrements, resulting in increased disease risk. While use of mouse models is extensive in aging research, mouse monocyte assessment is rare. We aimed to evaluate differences in cell-surface protein expression in classic (CD115+/Gr-1high) and non-classic (CD115+/Gr-1low) monocyte subsets of old and young mice. Methods. Venous blood was drawn from 18 old (80-wks) and 18 young CD-1 mice (15-20-wks). Flow cytometry was used to assess subpopulations of CD115+ monocytes for …

Concurrent Verbal Encouragement And Wingate Anaerobic Cycle Test Performance In Females: Athletes Vs. Non-Athletes, Dyana L. Bullinger, Chris M. Hearon, Stacy A. Gaines, Mike L. Daniel
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Previous research has shown that concurrent verbal encouragement improves performance on the Wingate Anaerobic Cycle Test (WACT), a 30-s supramaximal exercise protocol, in male non-athletes. This effect has not previously been examined in athletes or females. Consistently, athletes and females display a more self-determined motivational profile than non-athletes and males, suggesting verbal encouragement to be of lesser consequence to athletes and females. PURPOSE: To examine the effect of concurrent verbal encouragement on the performance of the WACT in female athletes vs. female non-athletes. METHODS: Nineteen college-age female subjects were recruited where ten of the subjects were active intercollegiate athletes (ATH, …
