Calcium imaging in C2C12 muscle myocytes to examine the impact of calmodulin mutations on cell signaling
(2020-05)The oxidative stress theory of aging theorizes inadequate redox signaling as a leading cause of aging phenotype. Current studies depict protein oxidation in skeletal muscle as a contributing cause to sarcopenia and other ... -
Can a point-of-decision-prompt intervention increase stair use? -- an analysis of a community intervention
(2009-07-31)This study was part of a large initiative known as Activate Fox Cities being undertaken in the Fox Cities, in Eastern Wisconsin. The purpose of this study was to assess reported stair use, reaction to the point-of-decisi ... -
Can cardiac patients use only the talk test to self-monitor appropriate exercise intensity levels?
(2015-05)The purpose of this study was to determine if cardiac patients could use only the talk test to monitor exercise intensity and stay within appropriate intensity ranges. This study tested 16 phase II cardiac rehabilitation ... -
Can commercial AMF inoculum improve prairie restoration? -- Colonization and growth effects of fungi on sand prairie plants and smooth brome in field soils
(2011-04-28)Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affect the species composition, structure, and function of prairie ecosystems, but prairie restorations are frequently located in sites with depauperate AMF communities. In this greenhouse ... -
“Can I really do this?”: Understanding the experiences and choice to persist of underrepresented conditionally admitted first-year college students
(“Can I really do this?”: Understanding the experiences and choice to persist of underrepresented conditionally admitted first-year college students, 2021-08)Research lacks insight into how the transition to college affects conditionally admitted college students and what may influence their stress levels, academic performance, or persistence rates. The purpose of this ... -
Can monitoring training load deter performance drop-off during off-season training in Division III American football players?
(2018-05-24)PURPOSE: The aim of this investigation was to monitor the physical demands of Division III American football players during off-season training and to investigate differences in training responses between linemen and ... -
Can the talk test be used to control exercise intensity?
(2013-05)Introduction: The Talk Test has been shown to be an effective surrogate of standard methods of prescribing exercise training intensity, and is responsive to manipulations known to change physiologic function. It is not ... -
Can the talk test identify maximal lactate steady state?
(2016-09-14)Introduction: The Talk Test (TT) has been shown to be an effective sun·ogate of standard methods of prescribing exercise training intensity. This study was designed to evaluate if the talk test can identify MLSS. Methods: ... -
Can the talk test indentify the respiratory compensation threshold?
(2016-09-12)Introduction: The Talk Test has shown to be an effective way of determining prescribed exercise intensity and its responsiveness to physiological markers such as ventilatory threshold (VT) and respiratory compensation ... -
Capturing speciation in action: Rapid population divergence in the Caribbean bioluminescent ostracod Photeros annecohenae (Myodocopida: Cypridinidae)
(2019-06)Species that have complex courtship behaviors are some of the most evolutionarily diverse lineages observed in nature. Divergent, pre-mating calls are effective in both generating and/or maintaining reproductive isolation. ... -
The cardiopulmonary effects of an inelastic chest wall restriction
(2000-08)We examined the effects of an inelastic chest wall restriction (CWR) on cardiopulmonaxy function during rest and exercise in an attempt to mimic a condition similar to that seen in chronic heart failure. Forced vital ... -
Cardiorespiratory responses during an aqua cycling class
(2018-05-24)The purpose of this study was to determine the relative exercise intensity and EE during an aqua cycling class and determine if aqua cycling meets ACSM guidelines for exercise prescription. Subjects completed an aqua cycling ... -
Cardiovascular changes in women with computerized bicycle training
(1988-05-09)Thirty-four sedentary women with a mean age of 32 years were studied to determine the extent to which training effects would occur after a six-week computerized bicycle exercise program. In addition, training differences ... -
Cardiovascular effects : rebounding versus jogging on untrained college females
(1982-07)Untrained college aged females (n = 45) were studied to determine if 7 wk rebounding and jogging programs would elicit similar cardiovascular training effects. The 13 joggers, 19 rebounders, and 13 controls who ranged in ... -
Cardiovascular effects of black versus English walnut consumption
(2010-05-03)English walnuts have been shown to decrease cardiovascular disease risk; however, black walnuts have not been studied for their cardioprotective effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of English ... -
