Effects of prophylactic lace-up ankle braces on kinetics and kinematics of the lower extremity during a state of fatigue.
(2021-04-23)Prophylactic lace-up braces are commonly used on athletes regardless of ankle injury history to reduce lateral ankle sprains (LAS). However, their ability to limit ankle sagittal range of motion has the potential to alter ... -
Effects of prophylactic lace-up ankle bracing on kinetics of the lower extremity during a state of fatigue.
(2021-05-01)Prophylactic lace-up ankle braces are worn to prevent ankle sprains during states of fatigue, which may increase GRF and VLR during landings and increase risk of injury. Studies have not examined effects of wearing lace-up ... -
Effects of prophylactic supplementation of N-acetyl-cysteine and epigallocatechin gallate on markers of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis after eccentric contraction-induced injury in untrained males.
(2007-02-07)The purpose of this study was the examine the effects of 14 days of prophylactic supplementation of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on changes in peak torque production, muscle soreness, muscle ... -
Effects of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) supplementation on mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial function and aerobic exercise performance in untrained men.
(2019-07-10)Endurance training enhances aerobic performance and improves mitochondrial biogenesis, function, and antioxidant capacity. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a novel supplement involved in processes such as mitochondrial ... -
Effects of resistance exercise load on androgen receptor–DNA binding, androgen regulated gene expression, and β-catenin mediation in human skeletal muscle.
(2020-07-17)The purpose of the study was to determine the effect low (LL) and high (HL) load resistance exercise on serum total and free testosterone, and muscle testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), androgen receptor (AR), and ... -
The effects of resveratrol supplementation on glucose/insulin kinetics and transcription of the AMPK and insulin signaling pathway at rest and following an oral glucose tolerance and graded exercise test in overweight women.
(2010-10-08)The AMPK pathway plays a critical role in glucose metabolism and can potentially improve insulin resistance. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound that activates this pathway. Therefore, the primary purpose of ... -
Effects of successive periods of detraining and retraining in males with whey protein or carbohydrate supplementation on body composition, muscle performance, and mTOR and ERK 1/2 intracellular signaling responses to resistance exercise.
(2015-07-28)Resistance exercise and nutritional strategies involving carbohydrate (CHO) and whey protein (WP) can stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) via the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Currently, it’s unknown ... -
Evaluating the risk factors of dating violence among undergraduates attending a faith-based university.
(2017-03-16)The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors of dating violence among undergraduates attending a private, faith-based university and to explore how the context of college dating relationships contribute to dating ... -
An evaluation of the relationships between core stability, core strength, and running economy.
(2007-02-14)Few studies have examined the relationship between core strength and core stability and running economy. Purpose: To evaluate the relationships between core strength, core stability, kinematic variables and running ... -
Exploring adverse outcomes and potential alleviators of burnout in athletic training students.
