Does overload exercise training alter autonomic nervous system activity and hemodynamic regulation in aerobically fit men?
DownloadFall 2014
In general, chronic endurance training has positive effects on physiological function. However, the performance of training in excess of what an individual is able to recover from can lead to performance, physiological and psychobiological maladaptation. The purposes of this investigation were to...

Does The Timing of Exercise Affect Glucose Concentrations in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes?
DownloadFall 2019
Background: It is well known that exercise can improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the glycemic response to exercise is highly variable. One of the primary causes of variability in response to a single bout of exercise may be timing in relation to meals....

EASE-BE-FIT: Elder-Friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment Bedside Reconditioning for Functional Improvements An Innovative Reconditioning Program for Elderly Emergency Abdominal Surgery Patients
DownloadSpring 2017
Introduction: Elderly individuals who are hospitalized due to emergency abdominal surgery spend on average over 80% of their recovery time in bed, resulting in early and rapid muscle loss. As these elderly individuals have a lower physiological reserve, the impact of muscle wasting on function...

Effect of heavy load carriage on respiratory mechanics and breathing pattern during graded exercise
DownloadFall 2010
The effect of heavy load carriage on pulmonary function at rest and on breathing pattern and lung volumes during graded exercise was studied. Fifteen males completed treadmill tests to measure VO2peak with and without a 25-kg pack. Subsequently, each subject completed short periods of treadmill...

Evaluation of Hypoxia Induced Regulation of Nucleoside and Amino Acid Membrane Transporters in Breast Cancer
DownloadSpring 2020
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) utilizes radioactively tagged molecules to identify cancerous tissue. In most cases, membrane transporters control entry of these molecules into human cancer cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is the master homeostatic regulator during hypoxia in human...

Examining the Associations Between Relatedness and Motivational Regulations Within Different Exercise Contexts: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective
DownloadFall 2015
There are numerous forms of exercise in which an individual can partake. Some individuals will persist at one activity while others will persist at another activity. Research has been limited in exploring motivational characteristics of participants in different activities, with some past...
