Developmental Correlates of Perfectionism in Sport: Task Value, Perceived Competence and Athletic Identity
DownloadFall 2013
This study assessed the degree to which retrospective levels of task value in sport, perceived competence in sport, and athletic identity during early adolescence were associated with perfectionism levels in sport among a sample of 377 undergraduates (M age = 20.89 years). The study also assessed...

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...

Perception is to sensation what illusion is to the actual state of the world. How we sense information varies greatly from how we ultimately perceive and understand that information - a result of top-down and bottom-up processes at work. Work from over 100 years ago (Brucke, 1864) found an...

Effect of dietary nitrate on sympathetic vasoconstriction in resting and contracting skeletal muscle
DownloadFall 2015
Dietary nitrate (NO3-) may increase nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and alter the control of blood flow at rest and during exercise. This thesis investigated the effect of dietary NO3- supplementation on sympathetic mediated control of skeletal muscle blood flow in resting and contracting...

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...

Effect of Laying Hen Housing Environment and Genetic Strain on Meat Quality and Skeletal Muscle Physicochemical Properties
DownloadFall 2016
Skeletal muscle is an adaptable, multi-faceted tissue that is essential for whole body movement and metabolism. When a production animal is slaughtered, its muscle goes through complex physical and biochemical changes including a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism resulting in the...

Effects of High Intensity Interval Exercise versus Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise on Blood Glucose Profiles of Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
DownloadFall 2014
Achieving good control over glucose concentrations is the fundamental therapeutic goal for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The effects of exercise on individuals with T2D have been well received and contributed extensively to recent evidence-based exercise guidelines in several countries....

Effects of High-Intensity Aerobic Interval Training on Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Health-related Quality of Life in Testicular Cancer Survivors: The HIITTS Trial
DownloadFall 2017
Background: Testicular cancer (TC) survivors (TCS) are an understudied, high-risk group susceptible to late-onset treatment-related cardiovascular disease (CVD), psychosocial, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) deficits in the years following treatment. Importantly, despite having the...

Effects of Resistance Training Frequency on Physical Functioning and Quality of Life in Prostate Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
DownloadSpring 2015
Background: Resistance training (RT) improves physical functioning and quality of life in prostate cancer survivors but the optimal frequency of RT is unknown. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted to estimate the potential effects of 12 weeks of supervised RT for 3 days/week...
