Title: CORTICAL ACTIVITY OF THE SENSORIMOTOR SYSTEM IN PARTICIPANTS WITH CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY
Author: Burcal, Christopher
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Kinesiology, Neurosciences
Description: Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) exhibit a wide variety of sensorimotor deficits. These include impairments in feed-forward sensorimotor control (i.e. motor planning) as well as feed-back sensorimotor control, which pertains to refini...

Title: Diagnostic Ultrasound Assessment of Femoral Cartilage Health in Individuals with Patellofemoral Pain
Author: Jeon, Hyunjae
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Kinesiology
Description: Patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP) experience pain during or after physical activities. Recent evidence suggests PFP is not only a painful symptom which hinders daily activity but also a potential marker for future development of patellofemor...

Title: Effects of External Biofeedback on Biomechanics and Ankle Joint Health in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability
Author: Torp, Danielle
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Kinesiology
Description: Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) often demonstrate abnormal biomechanical patterns which may be associated with the onset of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). There is a lack of interventions capable of changing gait impairments...

Title: GLYCOGEN ENHANCEMENT AUGMENTS OVERLOAD-INDUCED PROTEIN SYNTHESIS, GROWTH, AND MYOGENESIS IN AGED SKELETAL MUSCLE
Author: Lawrence, Marcus
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Kinesiology, Physiology
Description: ABSTRACTMARCUS MICHAEL LAWRENCE. Glycogen Enhancement Augments Overload-Induced Protein Synthesis, Growth, and Myogenesis in Aged Skeletal Muscle. (Under the direction of DR. SCOTT E. GORDON)Age-related skeletal muscle (SkM) wasting is associated ...

Title: Notch Serves as a Molecular Brake on Myogenesis, Protein Synthesis, and Growth in Skeletal Muscle
Author: Huot, Joshua
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology, Kinesiology
Description: Aging can be accompanied by aggressive loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and is a primary prognosticator for the reduced capacity of the elderly to accomplish basic activities of daily living. Several mechanisms within skeletal muscle lead to devel...

Title: The Prognostic Value of Relative Grip Strength in Assessing Hypertension Risk
Author: Gaillard, Ebony
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Kinesiology, Biology, Public health
Description: More than 1.3 billion people are affected by hypertension (HTN) globally. Research has shown that Black women have the highest prevalence of hypertension worldwide compared to women of other racial/ethnic backgrounds. Although attempts have been m...

Title: The Role of Isometric Exercise Training on Reductions in Resting Blood Pressure: Human Trials and the Influence of Peripheral Vasoactive and Inflammatory Biomarkers
Author: Gordon, Benjamin
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Kinesiology, Physiology
Description: Approximately 1 billion people worldwide and ~87 million adults in the United States alone are affected by hypertension [HTN: high blood pressure (HBP)]. Primary treatment avenues for HBP management include lifestyle modification (e.g. diet, exerc...

Title: The Role of Metformin on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Progression and Skeletal Muscle Health.
Author: Bond, Nicole
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology, Kinesiology
Description: Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and maintains a relatively small survival rate (~20%). Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) makes up 80-85% of all lung cancer diagnoses. Lung cancer patients routinely undergo surgical procedures, chemot...

Title: The role of the sex steroids in regulation of physical activity levels in mice
Author: Bowen, Robert
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Kinesiology, Physiology
Description: Low physical activity (PA) levels are associated with many chronic diseases and place a massive burden on the health care system. The extrinsic environment has been suggested to regulate activity levels, but an increasing prevalence of physical in...
