According to Wang et al. (2018), handgrip strength is an indicator of overall strength and a predictor of strength outcomes. Handgrip strength reflects muscular strength as well as motor unit recruitment and coordination, and neuromuscular control. Elite and successful athletes tend to show greater handgrip strength in comparison to sub-elite and less successful counterparts (Fry et al., 2004; Cronin et al., 2017). This may be due to the sport-specific nature of neuromuscular adaptations (Shields et al., 1999). For men between the ages of 18 and 24, absolute dominant (D) handgrip strength averages 47.0 kg +/- 8.1 kg (Wang et al., …

The pull-up exercise has been used as a performance measure to assess physical fitness and muscular strength and endurance of the major muscles in the upper limb. The ability to successfully perform multiple repetitions of a pull-up is dependent upon a performer’s body mass, muscle strength, and movement style.

Barefoot (BF) running is associated with biomechanical alterations that improve performance by increasing running economy (RE). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of acute BF running on RE in recreational runners. Participants (n = 20) completed treadmill trials in conventional running shoes (CRS) and BF at 60% and 80% of VO2max. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (p < 0.05) measured the effects of shoe condition on RE. Results were expected to reflect the speeddependent nature of RE, reduced shoe weight in the BF condition, individualized biomechanical and stride adjustments, and the physiological cost of task novelty. Future directions include expanding population, duration, and variable analysis.

The purpose of this study was to assess and determine the attitudes towards drug screening from athletic trainers (ATs) and D-I football players. Participants within this study included 500 ATs and 15,611 football players who were randomly selected from the Southeastern, Atlantic Coast, BIG Twelve, BIG 10, and Pacific 12 Conferences. A quantitative survey research design was developed with twelve questions for both football players and ATs by using Qualtrics. The surveys asked closed ended questions that were used to assess and determine the attitudes of both through data analysis via Jeffrey’s Amazing Statistics Program (JASP).

CRF is one of the most prominent side effects in cancer patients (Savina & Zaydiner, 2019). 80-100% of cancer patients report experiencing CRF (American Cancer Society, 2020) • Rest was a crucial recommendation for cancer patients, but now it is being replaced with physical activity (Backer et al., 2007). CRF can lead to: (Horneber et al., 2012): decreased physical activity, hinderance of recovery, Mood swings (depression often occurs), exhaustion (physical and mental), impaired physical performance.

According to Sander et al., (2013) a warmup to increase sprint time should include nonspecific running, coordination exercises, stretching, and acceleration runs. According to Zhou et al., (2020), an investigation into multiple studies found that aspects such as arm motion, takeoff angle, standing posture, warm up exercises, and handheld weights improved sprint times. The purpose of this study was to determine how a dynamic warmup compared to a cardio warm up will improve sprint time in trained collegiate D-I athletes. It was hypothesized that with the addition of a broad jump at the end of a standardized dynamic warm up, …

According to McArdle et al. (2015), Excessive Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) computes the total oxygen consumed in recovery minus the total oxygen consumed at rest during the recovery period. According to McArdle et al. (2015), VO2 mL/kg/min is defined as maximal oxygen consumption. According to McArdle et al. (2015), respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed under rest and steady-state conditions with little reliance on anaerobic metabolism. According to Dr. et al. (2004), EPOC is also known as O2 deficit and was used as a measure of anaerobic metabolism during exercise. According to …

Over the past decade, the health industry has increasingly targeted young females with supplements and nutri8on products. Energy drinks such as Reign Inferno market themselves as “thermogenic fuel,” promising to increase caloric expenditure at rest. The primary ingredient of products like Reign Inferno is caffeine. According to Belza et al. (2009), caffeine exerts a thermogenic response that can cause acute increases in res8ng metabolic rate (RMR). Res8ng metabolic rate (RMR) is measured via indirect calorimetry, which uses measures of oxygen consump8on (VNO2) and carbon dioxide produc8on (VNCO2) to approximate caloric expenditure from oxida8ve metabolism. At rest, VNO2 should be approximately …

T1D is considered an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas is unable to produce insulin to balance blood glucose levels. Research has shown that type 1 diabetes is also the result of an autoimmune reaction that induces the destruction to the pancreatic betacells in the pancreas, which produce insulin (Rodbard, 2017). HIIT is a style of exercise that has gained popularity throughout the 2010s (Ito, 2019). HIIT involves a series of anaerobic exercises at high intensity levels (>80% of VO2 peak) (Lee, A., Johnson, N., McGill, M., & Overland, J., 2020).

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 …

Scleroderma limits individuals in normal activities of daily living. Occupational therapy is recommended for individuals with scleroderma within the first few years of the disease. Studies have shown that occupational therapy is effective in individuals with scleroderma. Scleroderma or systemic sclerosis is a complex polygenetic disease that has 2 subtypes: Limited Affects individuals' muscles and how they functions, Diffuse Affects individuals’ internal organs (Shah, 2013). The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of occupational therapy in damaged hand muscles of females with scleroderma.

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias which is diagnosed to nearly 450,000 Americans each year (CDC, 2021). Atrial fibrillation is a conduction defect of the atria and is often characterized as an irregular heart rate that often causes poor blood flow. Atrial fibrillation is commonly associated with very rapid and chaotic atrial depolarizations that result in an irregular and sometimes rapid response of the ventricles (Jacobs, 2018). This condition can potentially have no symptoms, but when symptoms do appear they can include shortness of breath, fatigue, and palpitations. Treatments of atrial fibrillation include blood thinners, minimally invasive …
