A Case Study On The Effects Of Pregnancy On Expiratory Flow Limitation (Efl) And Operating Lung Volumes During Exercise, Hannah Young

Masters Theses, 2020-current

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of pregnancy on expiratory flow limitation (EFL) and operating lung volumes (end expiratory lung volume and end inspiratory lung volume; EELV and EILV) during exercise, with an exploratory aim to assess differences in the above measures between exercise modalities. EFL has been shown to occur in several other subgroups but has never been studied in pregnant individuals. We followed one 35-year-old pregnant subject throughout her pregnancy, completing exercise and pulmonary testing every other week from 8 weeks gestation to 38 weeks gestation, and once again ~8 weeks postpartum. Testing was …

Impact Of Fluid Restriction On Pulmonary Function During Exercise, Kylie Moulin

Masters Theses, 2020-current

Exercise performance is impaired by dehydration and, separately, can be negatively impacted in scenarios where there is pulmonary expiratory flow limitation (EFL). Interestingly, there may be an interaction between dehydration and pulmonary function. Previous work has suggested that resting pulmonary function is impaired by mild dehydration through the collapse of small/unsupported airways. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of fluid restriction on EFL presence and other pulmonary dynamics such as operating lung volumes. METHODS: 12 healthy active adults (8 M and 4 F) aged 20 ± 2 years performed a VO_2Peak test on a …

Physical Activity And Knee Health Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, David Werner

Theses & Dissertations

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLR) have increased in incidence worldwide. After ACLR, individuals are at higher risk for developing early onset knee osteoarthritis. Individuals after ACLR also participate in less physical activity (PA), contributing to an increased risk for early onset knee osteoarthritis and poor overall health outcomes.

The two goals of this work were to 1) determine the relationship between PA and knee health outcomes 18 months after ACLR and 2) determine the feasibility and acceptability of a PA intervention early after ACLR that considered participant thoughts and feelings.

Findings for the first goal suggest that there is no …

Njcaa Athletes' Psychological Preparedness To Return To Sport Following Injury Without The Use Of Psychological Readiness Tools, Lyndsey E. Gough

Master of Science in Kinesiology

The purpose of this study was to evaluate NJCAA level athletes’ psychological readiness to return to play (RTP) after injury without the use of screening tools. Confidence levels and mood disturbances experienced by athletes while they were injured and first returning to sport following injury were investigated using mixed methodology. Forty-one National Junior College Athletic Association level athletes participated in an online survey that utilized the Injury-Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport Scale (I-PRRS), Brunel Mood Rating Scale (BRUMS), and open-ended questions related to mental readiness. The average total score for the I-PRRS scale was 41.6 while the BRUMS subscale …

Major Injuries Sustained In Towable Watersports, Elijah J. Klein

Honors Thesis

Towable watersports are activities where a participant is being pulled by a motorized watercraft while wearing or holding onto a floating device. Watersports come with many known risks such as drowning, whiplash, and fatigue; however, other injuries are often overlooked or misunderstood. With this thesis, I aimed to explore injury records pertaining to towable watersports and attempted to identify prevalent injury trends in wakeboarding, waterskiing, and water tubing. Using the National Electronic Injury Survey System (NEISS), a public database with yearly injury records, I compiled information related to the relevant sports from 2013 to 2022. Included with the data is …
