The Effect of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury on Reaction Time, Dual-tasking Reaction Time and Heart Rate Variability in Driving Simulation
(2015)The present study was performed to address some gaps in current literature related to dual tasking, reaction time, and heart rate variability (HRV) in concussed individuals during driving simulation, and to determine the ... -
The Effect of Spring Loaded Single-Hip Support Cane Mechanisms on Upper and Affected Lower Limb Ground Reaction Forces, Muscle Activity, and Self-perceived Ease of Use
(2016)The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of commercial spring loaded single-tip canes on ground reaction forces, impulse, and EMG activation in the upper limb during ambulation. Ground reaction ... -
The effect of variable type of practice on one handed catching in children with developmental disorders
(2017)Children with developmental disorders, such as DCD, struggle with interceptive tasks like ball catching. These problems may be due to less than optimal abilities to coordinate and control actions at intra- and inter-limb ... -
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, ... -
The effects of a reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training protocol on measures of cardiovascular and metabolic health in physically inactive individuals
(2020)Cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease are a growing threat to the quality of life of the population. Exercise is a frontline approach to treat and prevent cardiometabolic disease and its ... -
Effects of a virtual reality intervention on postural adaptation of children with movement and balance problems
(2012)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 20-session Wii Fit intervention on postural adaptation of 10 children with movement and balance problems (M = 8.50 years; SD = 1.27 years). The children’s balance ... -
The effects of bilateral ankle bracing and sex on swing block jump height, agility, and sport related anxiety in volleyball players
(2023)Ankle braces are commonly worn in the athletic community both as a method of rehabilitation after sustaining an ankle injury, and prophylactically to prevent an injury. Within court sports such as volleyball, athletes ... -
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 knee bracing on reactive agility performance among healthy soccer players – a pilot study
(2023)Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. The increase in the sport’s popularity is paralleled with an increased prevalence of knee injuries. Knee braces are commonly worn in athletic populations to prevent knee ... -
The effects of moderate exercise on cognitive, cervical, and vestibulo-ocular functioning in healthy individuals: a pilot study
(2018)While cognitive and physical rest have long been the protocol that most physicians have recommended for concussions, there has been an increase in interest with regards to the prescription of low intensity symptom-limited ... -
The effects of neurocognitive and physical tasks on breathing and executive functioning in healthy versus concussed Canadian military members
(2022)When on active-duty, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members may be exposed to dangers and repetitive sub-concussive impacts such as explosive devices, loud gunfire, and handto-hand physical combat. These individuals are at ... -
The effects of smelling salts on hockey players' reaction time, anaerobic performance and sympathetic nervous system
(2019)Background/Objectives: Smelling salts are a commonly used ergogenic aid in various sports, particularly in elite hockey. However, the extent of performance enhancing effects of smelling salts on reaction time and performance ... -
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 ... -
