Are Sex and Estrogen Modulators of Sympathetic Vascular Control in Resting and Contracting Skeletal Muscle?
DownloadSpring 2018
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether sex and estrogen modulate sympathetic neurovascular control in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. This thesis also investigated the hypothesis that the effects of sex and estrogen on neurovascular control would be mediated by the signal...

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by intermittent episodes of acute airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction. Although asthma is generally considered a disease of the airways, asthma is also associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular (CV)...

COMPARISON OF THREE TYPES OF NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ON FATIGABILITY IN THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLES
DownloadSpring 2018
Claveria-Gonzalez, Francisca C
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can produce contractions of paralyzed muscles to improve function and reduce secondary complications for individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI). NMES is typically delivered through a single pair of electrodes over a muscle belly at a stimulation...

Contraction fatigue and motor unit overlap in the tibialis anterior during different intensities of interleaved electrical stimulation
DownloadSpring 2018
Interleaved neuromuscular electrical stimulation (iNMES), which involves alternating stimulus pulses between a nerve (nNMES) and muscle belly (mNMES), has been demonstrated to reduce fatigue of the ankle dorsiflexors when used with relatively low contraction amplitudes. However, the amount of...

The Effect of Training Load and Training Stress on the Lung Health of Competitive Youth Swimmers
DownloadSpring 2018
Background: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), airway inflammation, and respiratory symptoms are commonly observed in competitive swimmers. High ventilation during pool training with cumulative exposure to chlorine by-products likely influences such...

The relationship between nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide mediated inhibition of vasoconstriction
DownloadSpring 2018
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signal molecule with many biological functions. NO is produced through the reaction of L-arginine with O2, which is catalyzed by the family NO synthase (NOS) enzymes. NOS exists in endothelial (eNOS), neuronal (nNOS) and inducible (iNOS) isoforms and the eNOS...

Theorizing Linkages between Ikigai (Life Worthiness) and Leisure among Japanese University Students: A Mixed Methods Approach
DownloadSpring 2018
The relationship between leisure and well-being has garnered growing scholarly attention. However, this literature is limited in terms of (a) how well-being is conceptualized and (b) theoretical explanations for how exactly leisure impacts well-being. In terms of the former, Western research has...
