The effect of isometric cervical strength, head impact location, and impact mechanism on simulated head impact measures in female ice hockey players
(2018)Head injuries in sport have become a growing concern due to the negative acute and chronic health effects manifested from concussion injuries. Ice hockey is a sport associated with a high rate of concussions, although most ... -
The Effect of warm-ups and elevated oxygen consumption on running performance in trained collegiate distance runners
(2014-01-22)The mobilization hypothesis (Andzel & Gutin, 1976) states that starting a performance with an elevated baseline oxygen consumption will improve performance by reducing the oxygen deficit at the beginning of the task, ... -
Effects of kettlebell mass & swing cadence on heart rate, blood lactate and ratings of perceived exertion during an interval kettlebell swing protocol
(2013)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of kettlebell mass and swing cadence on heart rate, blood lactate and RPE during an interval kettlebell swing protocol in experienced female kettlebell users. Eighteen ... -
The effects of therapeutic patellar taping techniques on lower extremity kinematics during running in individuals with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome
(2016)The effectiveness of patellar taping techniques for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), including McConnell’s Medial Glide and Mechanical Correction Technique with Tension in the Base, remains controversial, with no ... -
Examining the effects of trial order and conditioning on the covert orienting of visual attention task (COVAT)
(2009)It has recently been reported by Deller (2006) that the mechanisms of early facilitation followed by late inhibition of return (IOR) attenuated upon ANS activation, manipulated through head-down neck flexion (HDNF). The ... -
The impact of therapeutic ankle taping on the lower extremity kinematics of running on level, inclined and declined slopes
(2019)Overpronation is cited as a common misalignment of the calcaneus resulting from flattening of the medial longitudinal arch, which may contribute to the development of an overuse injury. It has been suggested that taping ... -
The impact of unilateral versus bilateral ankle bracing on lower extremity kinetics, kinematics, and performance in volleyball players
(2022)As athletes, volleyball players strive for optimal performance while avoiding the incidence of injury. Ankle braces, which are most commonly used by volleyball players to minimize the risk of injury are the Ankle Stabilizing ... -
Investigating the effects of visually augmented video feedback on performance of an ice hockey skating skill / by Duncan C. Pike.
(2008)The study tested the effects of video replays enhanced with graphic, kinematic feedback on a targeted aspect of the hockey skating stride. A single subject, multiple baseline, across participants design was used. Participants ... -
Measurement of isometric hip strength in male ice hockey players: investigation of the within-day, betweend-day, and intertester reliability of the Activ5© handheld dynamometer
(2023)Isometric strength testing involves assessing the maximum amount of force a muscle group can produce when there is no change in its length and is typically measured using a handheld dynamometer (HHD). Reliability is a ... -
The relationship between maximal isometric and isotonic neck strength of hockey players and wrestlers
(2011)The purpose of this study was first to examine the relation between maximal isometric neck force and predicted 1-RM cervical strength values, for neck flexion and extension. The second purpose was to compare maximal isometric ... -
Reliability and Validity of a New Test of Agility in Male Soccer Players
(2008)Agility testing is an important aspect of soccer and to the author’s knowledge, no soccerspecific agility assessment tool has been created. Agility is the process of coordinating appropriate parts of the body in a rapid ...
