Anterior Cruciate Ligament Neuromuscular Training Protocol of the Core and Hip Musculature: Effects On Female Athletes' Landing Mechanics
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Landing is a dynamic activity and considered one of the leading causes of noncontact ACL injuries. Poor biomechanics during dynamic activity resulting from neuromuscular imbalances may contribute to ACL injury. The purpose ...
Plasma and Electrolyte Changes in Humans Following Ingestion of Multiple Boluses of Pickle Juice Associated with Exercise
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
No experimental research has examined the effect of drinking multiple boluses of pickle juice (PJ) on the same day, nor has its ingestion been examined during exercise. Additionally there are fears that PJ supplementation ...
The Relationship Between Exercise and Mental Health in College Students
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of an exercise program on aspects of wellness in college students. The study explored changes in physical fitness and on self-reports of anxiety and depression symptoms ...
Evaluation of Biomechanical Risk Factors in Division II Collegiate Female Athletes Using the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) After an 8-Week Neuromuscular Training Program
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Neuromuscular training programs are a relatively new injury prevention strategy to reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, primarily in female athletes. This study evaluated the effects of a neuromuscular ...
A Deeper Understanding of Female Athlete Body Image
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of how body image can impact the self-esteem and confidence of female athletes. As the media and public image of professional female athletes becomes increasingly ...
Effects on Plantarflexor Strength, Calf Girth, and Dorsiflexion Range of Motion When Static Stretching is Implemented During Two Weeks of Immobilization
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This study examined the effects of chronic static stretching on dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), calf strength, and calf girth when immobilized for two weeks. Thirty-six North Dakota State University students participated ...
Therapeutic Ultrasound: The Effectiveness of Ultrasound and the Importance of Parameter Settings
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Therapeutic ultrasound can be an important modality for clinician's use to heat tissue. Previous research has concluded that therapeutic ultrasound treatments may be ineffective. There are several options for parameters ...
Kinematic, Neuromuscular, and Performance Changes due to Overspeed Training for Ice Hockey
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Athletes, coaches, and strength and conditioning practitioners are constantly searching for new and improved speed training methods give themselves or their athletes an edge over their competition. Overspeed training is ...
