Test–retest reliability and reliable change estimates for four mobile cognitive tests administered virtually in community-dwelling adults
(Frontiers Media, 2021-10-21)Objective: Remote mobile cognitive testing (MCT) is an expanding area of research, but psychometric data supporting these measures are limited. We provide preliminary data on test–retest reliability and reliable change ... -
Accuracy of the SWAY mobile cognitive assessment application
(North American Sports Medicine Institute, 2021)Background Mobile electronic devices have become integral tools in addressing the need for portable assessment of cognitive function following neurocognitive/motor injury. SWAY Medical, Inc., has employed mobile device ... -
Resistance training in older adults
(Springer, Cham, 2021-10-19)Interventions based on resistance training have been shown to counteract muscle disuse and therefore combat muscle strength and muscle mass loss, with positive effects on physical functioning, mobility, independence, ... -
Validity and intrarater reliability using a smartphone clinometer application to measure active cervical range of motion including rotation measurements in supine
(Human Kinetics, 2021)Context: Technological advances have given smartphones the capabilities of sensitive clinical measurement equipment at lesser cost and higher availability. The Clinometer is a smartphone application that can be used to ... -
Physiological and psychological effects of a new racket sport in children with and without overweight at primary school
(Universidad Catolica San Antonio Murcia, 2020)Literature have shown the positive effects of participation in classical sports on children health. However, innovative ideas are necessary to increase their participation according to motivations and individual needs. The ... -
Effect of flywheel resistance training on balance performance in older adults. A randomized controlled trial
(Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 2019-06)This study aimed to assess the effects of flywheel resistance exercise training on postural stability and mobility in older adults and to investigate whether changes in power are related to improvements in balance. Thirty-six ... -
The association of the ACTN3 R577X genotypes and athlete status - a meta-analysis
(Wichita State University, 2019-05)This study is a meta-analysis interested in research that investigated ACTN3 genotype frequencies present in different athlete types - endurance, middle distance, or power related. One of the many factors that determine ... -
Accuracy of Moov Now™ exercise performance measures in recreational swimmers
(Wichita State University, 2019-05)Wearable fitness technology has become an increasingly popular tool to measure physical activity levels and performance measures across multiple sports. As more users rely on these devices to measure and report activity, ... -
Accuracy of Moov Now™ exercise performance measures in recreational swimmers
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)INTRODUCTION: Wearable fitness technology has become an increasingly popular tool to measure activity levels and performance measures across multiple sports. As more users rely on these devices to measure and report activity, ... -
Updates in concussion consensus statement offer symptom-limited physical activity
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-04)This article discusses the Concussion in Sport Group's (CISG) new consensus statement from 2017 pertaining to symptom-limited physical activity and issues relating to return to play (RTP) and return to school (RTS) for ... -
Evaluation of lumbar motion with fabric strain sensors: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2019-01)Prolonged microgravity has been shown to have a deconditioning effect on the spine, increasing the risk of back issues at distant locations such as Mars. Therefore, studying the lumbar motion of astronauts inside a spacesuit ... -
A comparative study: tongue muscle performance in weightlifters and runners
(Wiley Open Access, 2018-11-01)Exercise mode (i.e., resistance training, endurance training) is known to yield mode-specific effects on strength and endurance of muscles that are directly targeted during the exercise. Such mode-specific effects can also ... -
The effects of kinesiology tape on active knee flexion
(Wichita State University, 2018-05)INTRODUCTION: Kinesiology tape (KT) is used in therapeutic clinics, chiropractic clinics, and sports settings as a tool to prevent or treat injuries. Some of the reported benefits of KT include decreasing pain, decreasing ... -
The acute effects of intermittent creatine and carbohydrate supplementation on anaerobic performance in recreational athletes
(Wichita State University, 2018-05)INTRODUCTION: Studies have shown that supplementing creatine can increase the power, strength, and increase the amount of energy stored in the muscle as glycogen. Creatine supplementation is often ingested with carbohydrates, ... -
Non-invasive electromagnetic skin patch sensor to measure intracranial fluid–volume shifts
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2018-03-29)Elevated intracranial fluid volume can drive intracranial pressure increases, which can potentially result in numerous neurological complications or death. This study’s focus was to develop a passive skin patch sensor for ... -
Positive effects of a short-term intense elastic resistance training program on body composition and physical functioning in overweight older women
(SAGE, 2018-02-11)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a resistance training program (RTP) in older overweight women (OOW) using two different types of elastic devices. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial ... -
Concurrent validity of heart rate measures using a wrist worn activity tracker during treadmill walking
(Wichita State University, 2018-04-27)Introduction: Wearable technology devices are becoming increasingly popular. Many of these devices offer features allowing users to monitor health related biometric information. One biometric variable commonly measured is ... -
A consecutive loop elastic band placed around the distal end of the thighs during an overhead barbell squat increases medial knee collapse
(Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc., 2017-05)The use of a resistant band wrapped around the distal end of the thighs may act as a proprioceptive aid to reduce medial collapse of the knee during squats. No studies have examined this corrective technique on mechanically ... -
Effects of long-term elastic resistance training on oxidative damage of DNA in older adults
(Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc., 2017-05)It is theorized that age-related physiological changes are a consequence of the accumulation of random oxidative damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), lipids, and proteins. The major by-product of oxidative DNA damage, ...
