Building a national strategy to promote physical activity: the ACSM symposium

Buchner, David; Rogers, Michael E.; Chodzko-Zajko, Wojtek; Morgan, Amy (International Coalition for Aging and Physical Activity, 2012-08)

Levels of physical activity are low in U.S. adults, and promotion of physical activity remains a public health priority. In the U.S., the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has been involved in several important ...
Changes in muscle thickness over 12 months in older frail women nursing home residents

Takeshima, Nobuo; Shimada, Keizo; Ishida, Yoshie; Kitabayashi, Yukiko; Kato, Yoshiji; Rogers, Nicole L.; Rogers, Michael E. (International Coalition for Aging and Physical Activity, 2012-08)

Introduction: The reduction of skeletal muscle mass that occurs with aging (sarcopenia) leads to disability in the elderly population. Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia among older frail nursing home ...

Effect of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate on the onset of blood lactate accumulation and V(O)(2) peak in endurance-trained cyclists

Vukovich, Matthew D.; Dreifort, Geri D. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001-11)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation on maximal oxygen consumption (.V(O)(2)peak) and the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) in endurance-trained ...
Effect of coffee on dual-task performance

Baniasadi, Mojdeh; Nadji, Nassim; Patterson, Jeremy A.; Parham, Douglas F (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2012-05)
Effect of light exercise on muscular strength and functional fitness over 12 months in frail community-dwelling older adults

Okada, Soichi; Narita, Makoto; Rogers, Nicole L.; Rogers, Michael E.; Takeshima, Nobuo (International Coalition for Aging and Physical Activity, 2012-08)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two light-intensity exercise programs on lower body muscular strength and functional fitness over 12 months in a group of frail community-dwelling older adults. ...
Effect of whole body vibration exercise on muscle activity when using elastic resistance bands in young adults

Hawkins, William Caveny (Wichita State University, 2012-05)

Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been shown to increase muscle fiber recruitment during isotonic contractions. No prior published studies have used elastic resistance. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the ...
Effects of a low-dose amino acid supplement on adaptations to cycling training in untrained individuals

Vukovich, M. D.; Sharp, R. L.; Kesl, L. D.; Schaulis, D. L.; King, D. S. (Human Kinetics, 1997-12)

The purpose of this study was to determine if amino acid supplementation influences blood and muscle lactate response to exercise and the time course of the metabolic adaptations to training. Two groups of untrained males ...
The effects of hydraulic resistance circuit training on whole body bone mineral density in postmenopausal women

Young, Kaelin Clifford (Wichita State University, 2007-12)

The aim of the present study was to determine whether a 12 week hydraulic resistance circuit training program, could maintain whole body bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. Participants included ten apparently ...
Effects of severe and persistent mental illness on maximal aerobic capacity

Drake, Rachel Mari’ (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

Maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) is a good indicator of overall health and is commonly measured in the general population, but often goes overlooked in individuals with SMI. Previous studies involving exercise and SMI ...
Effects of severe mental illness on bone mineral density and body composition

Hervey, Ashley Marie (Wichita State University, 2010-05)

Bone density and body composition among the average population has been extensively researched; little research has been reported on the effects of Severe Mental Illness (SMI). Recent studies have suggested that individuals ...
