• A Comparison of Traditional Blood Flow Restriction Versus Band Tissue Flossing for Induction of Muscular Fatigue 

  Jones, Morgan Taylor (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) exaggerates metabolic stress and increases the number of muscle fibers recruited, resulting in greater improvements in muscular strength. An alternative method for ...
• Effects of Proximal Limb Blood Flow Restriction Training on Distal Limb Performance and Recovery 

  Saffold, Keith (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Purpose: To determine if proximal limb blood flow restriction (BFR) influences muscular performance and recovery of the distal limb musculature (i.e., gastrocnemius, soleus, and tibialis anterior). Methods: Participants ...
• The Efficacy of Blood Flow Restriction During High Intensity Resistance Exercise 

  Hornikel, Bjoern (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

  Blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance training has demonstrated its effectiveness for inducing hypertrophic adaptations at much lower intensities (20-30% one-repetition maximum (1RM)) compared to traditional high-intensity ...
• The impact of an out-of-school swimming program for underserved children and youth on stakeholders 

  Susnara, Daniela M. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020-12)

  The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an out-of-school swimming program (OSSP) for underserved children and youth on its stakeholders. Specific research questions (a) explored the impact of the OSSP on ...
• Body fat percentage via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry following multiple different approaches compared to a laboratory-based 3-compartment model 

  Welborn, Bailey Arthur (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived body volume (BV) equations in a multi-compartment model for estimates of body fat percentage (BF%) in comparison ...
• The efficacy of subjective and objective indices of recovery during and following exhaustive resistance exercise 

  Tolusso, Danilo V. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  Monitoring recovery status within and between exercise sessions can optimize training adaptations. As such, it is critical that the tools we use to monitor recovery status are both valid and reliable. One such tool, ...
• Teaching personal and social responsibility in afterschool programming and beyond 

  Ivy, Victoria (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  Schools continue to become more diverse though teachers and afterschool program coordinator are unprepared to work in such settings. The teaching personal and social responsibility model (Hellison, 2011) serves as a tool ...
• Cardiovascular drift and maximal oxygen uptake during heat stress in women 

  Stone, Tori (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  During prolonged constant-rate exercise, heart rate and stroke volume progressively increase and decrease, respectively, characterizing cardiovascular (CV) drift. CV drift is greater when driven by hyperthermia and generally ...
• Negotiations patterns of preservice and student teachers within physical education 

  McEntyre, Kelsey (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  Study One described patterns of teacher-student negotiation when preservice teachers (PTs) taught within the teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) model. The research questions examined forms and extent of ...
