Quantifying Asymmetry and Performance of Lower Limb Mechanical Muscle Function in Varsity Athletes
DownloadFall 2019
In varsity sports, athletes are more susceptible to lower limb injury than the general population due to their continuous involvement in physically-demanding activity. Additionally, these athletes participate in high-level strength and conditioning training programs to ensure they are reaching...

Spring 2016
This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate whether a plyometric protocol consisting of drop jumps, induce PAP, and if so, assess the magnitude and time course of the induced PAP. Participants performed a standard warm-up followed by drop jumps or a low-pace walk. PAP induced by the...

The effects of a short-term plyometrics program on the running economy and Achilles tendon properties of female distance runners
DownloadFall 2009
This study examined the effects of plyometrics on running economy, performance, and Achilles tendon properties in female distance runners. Seventeen University athletes matched by running economy were randomly assigned to an experimental group that received supplementary plyometrics training...
