The effects of short-term L-citrulline supplementation on arterial stiffness in prediabetic and healthy adults
(2019-05)
Background: Prediabetes is marked by elevated levels of plasma glucose. Chronic hyperglycemia may induce thickening of the arteries, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction, a primary cause for cardiovascular disease. ...
The Talk Test as a measurement of exercise intensity in children
(2019-12)
The aim of this study was to identify the replicability of the Talk Test as an indicator of exercise intensity in children. This study specifically looked at whether the TT could be used as a measurement of exercise intensity ...
The training effect of foam rolling on range of motion, flexibility, agility, and vertical jump height
(2019-12)
This study was designed to evaluate the training effects of foam-rolling on ankle and knee range of motion, flexibility, agility, and vertical jump height. Twenty subjects (8 male, 12 female) completed 6 weeks of foam ...
Evaluating improvement across rehabilitation in peripheral artery disease patients: a comparison between the 6-minute walk test and maximal treadmill graded exercise test
(2019-12)
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a debilitating disease that increases mortality and negatively affects quality of life. The primary non-invasive therapeutic step after diagnosis is supervised exercise therapy (SET). A ...
Effects of twelve weeks of diabetes prevention program on cardiovascular risk factors
(2019-12)
The purpose of this study was to generate hypotheses and measure the effectiveness of 12 weeks of Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The DPP, focused on increased physical activity, eating healthy, and portion control, was ...
The acute effect of foam rolling on range of motion, flexibility, agility, and vertical jump height
(2019-12)
This study was designed to evaluate the acute effects of foam rolling (FR) on range of motion, flexibility, agility, and vertical jump height. Nineteen subjects (8 male, 11 female) completed a 15-minute FR session and a ...
Relative exercise intensity and energy expenditure of battle rope exercise
(2019-12)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relative exercise intensity and energy expenditure of a BR interval exercise session in healthy, active individuals. Methods: Fourteen healthy, active male (age 19.6 ...
Muscle activation during battle rope exercises
(2019-12)
The purpose of this study was to 1) compare electromyographic (EMG) responses in the vastus medialis (VM), gluteus maximus (GM), erector spinae (ES), external oblique (EO), rectus abdominis (RA), upper trapezius (UT), ...
Comparison of non-maximal tests for exercise prescription and outcome assessment
(2017-12)
This study examined the accuracy of non-maximal tests: the Talk Test (TT), Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) extrapolation, Rockport Walking Test (RWT) and non-exercise VO2max prediction equation for predicting exercise ...
Core muscle activation during stand-up paddleboarding in comparison to treadmill running
(2016-09-12)
The main purpose of this study was to determine if the core muscles are sufficiently activated to provide strength benefit during stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). A secondary purpose was to compare activation of the core ...
