Strategies To Increase Athletes' Transformational Leadership Behaviors During Strength And Conditioning Sessions, Valerie Smith, E. Whitney G. Moore 2019 Wayne State University

Strategies To Increase Athletes' Transformational Leadership Behaviors During Strength And Conditioning Sessions, Valerie Smith, E. Whitney G. Moore

Kinesiology, Health and Sport Studies

Often, leadership is presumed to naturally result from athletic experiences. However, leadership behaviors require practice. Strength and conditioning coaches (SCCs) can provide opportunities for all athletes to practice transformational leadership behaviors, which can increase team cohesion and performance. This article reviews athlete leadership, including leadership roles and four transformational leadership behaviors (idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, and intellectual stimulation). Then, daily strategies SCCs can incorporate into training to foster athletes’ transformational leadership are presented. Followed by strategies for larger, rotating leadership experiences. These strategies can work with athletes across age, gender, and competitive level.

Increasing Collegiate Strength And Conditioning Coaches' Communication Of Training Performance And Process Goals With Athlete, E. Whitney G. Moore, Alessandro Quartiroli, Rebecca Zakrajsek, Morgan Eckenrod

Kinesiology, Health and Sport Studies

The purpose of this paper is to present information about goal setting and how strength and conditioning coaches (SCCs) can incorporate goal setting strategies in their training of athletes. This paper presents an overview of outcome, performance, and process goals, and the SMAART framework. Strategies a SCC can utilize are presented to illustrate how to increase the effectiveness of the performance and process goals that informed the program periodization and feedback provided by the SCC. This paper aims to start bridging the gap between SCCs familiarity with goal setting and incorporation of this mental strategy into their communication with athletes …

The Prevalence Of The Female Athlete Triad In Division 1 Athletes, Kylie E. Ameres 2019 Gardner-Webb University

The Prevalence Of The Female Athlete Triad In Division 1 Athletes, Kylie E. Ameres

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

The Female Athlete Triad (FAT) is characterized by three individualized disorders that are present at the same time. Low energy availability with or without disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis are the three components that make up the Female Athlete Triad. Due to the competitive nature and extreme exercise expenditure of female athletes at the Division 1 level, it is likely that these females are at a higher risk of experiencing the components of the Female Athlete Triad.

The Effects Of An Aerobic Exercise Program On Strength And Quality Of Life In Lower-Leg Amputees With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Kristin Russell 2019 Gardner-Webb University

The Effects Of An Aerobic Exercise Program On Strength And Quality Of Life In Lower-Leg Amputees With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Kristin Russell

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

There is a need to determine if an exercise program that focuses on improving aerobic exercise will be beneficial for amputees in comparison to the traditional therapy programs. This study sought to answer this research question. It was hypothesized that an aerobic therapy program would improve quality of life, strength, and decrease PTSD episode frequency.


Benefits Of Onsite Health Programs In The Corporate Setting, Nathan Cook 2019 University of Southern Maine

Benefits Of Onsite Health Programs In The Corporate Setting, Nathan Cook

Thinking Matters Symposium Archive

Worksite health care clinics and corporate wellness programs are becoming a staple of companies at all levels. Companies are finding that having onsite healthcare clinics as well as comprehensive wellness programs are not only good incentives for employees but actually able to save large amounts of money with injury prevention, decrease in lost productivity and a number of other factors. A 2010 meta- analysis looking at the Return-Of Investment (ROI) found that there was an average of $3.27 per dollar spent on wellness initiatives ROI. Yearly savings can be upwards of $225,000 in some cases as the Sygenta Crop Production …
