Comparison of functional fitness training model & the traditional resistance training model for the development of functional fitness in older adults
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Aging is a process associated with decreases in physiological and functional capabilities. Specifically, age-related loss in muscle strength, balance and flexibility are related to impaired functional mobility in older ... -
Cardiovascular fitness and physical activity levels in elementary school children: an examination of seasonal variation and correlation
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)This study examined seasonal variation in cardiovascular fitness and physical activity levels. It also examined the relationship between maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and scores obtained from physical activity and ... -
Effects of cam boot on plantar pressures during gait
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)During walking, plantar pressure is exerted through the foot from the time when the heel is in contact with the ground until the toes leave the ground. A cam boot (CB) is designed to spread this pressure across the entire ... -
The relationship between physical fitness and standing postural deficits in middle school adolescence ages 12-14
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Posture is the foundation for fitness. The most common cause of injury in adults is musculoskeletal. Prevention of such injuries starts with correct posture. Due to the limited information available on the relationship ... -
Accuracy of pedometer steps and time for youth with disabilities
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The goal of the study is to determine pedometer accuracy of steps and time for children with disabilities. Eleven girls and seven boys with multiple developmental disabilities participated in six, 80 meter self-paced ... -
Endurance of low back musculature in high school athletes: a study of global and isolated low back stabilization exercises
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Selective muscle atrophy has been demonstrated in people with history of low back pain. Training of low back musculature has focused on global and isolated abdominal endurance. The purpose of our study was to investigate ... -
Exercise capacity following heart transplant: case report on the physical work capacity of a 37 year old competitive cyclist following orthotopic heart transplant
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Physical work capacity in heart transplant recipients typically does not exceed 60% of age-predicted normal levels. It is unknown what levels might be achieved in these patients if they were involved in strenuous ... -
Differences in health related physical activity and fitness of elementary school children
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Research supports a correlation between physical activity level and obesity; however, there is no definitive method for measuring physical activity level in children. This study will determine if test results of the ... -
Acute effect of 30 and 60 second static hamstring stretch on knee flexion strength
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-03-25)This study was designed to determine if there is a difference in torque produced with a hamstring curl after a 30 second and 60 second passive static hamstring stretch. Our study included 50 participants (13 males, 37 ... -
The acute effects of static stretching on leg extension power: Quadriceps torque production after a 30-second static stretch versus no stretch
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)Traditionally, static passive stretching has been used by coaches and athletes as a warm-up technique in an attempt to promote better performances. However, the results of recent research have shown that passive muscle ... -
