Activity disc and cage for continuous measurement of running activity and core temperature in hamsters
(Elsevier, 1991-11)
We describe a design for the modular horizontal activity disc and tandem cages suitable for continuous monitoring of spontaneous running and of core tempertaures in golden hamsters. An acrylic disc is equipped with a short ...
Relationship of fat patterning to coronary artery disease risk in obese adolescents
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1986-12)
Fatness and fat patterning of 27 male and 33 female obese adolescents were identified by principal-components analysis of five skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, iliac, abdominal, and thigh). Correlations were computed between ...
Stimulation by voluntary exercise of adrenal glucocorticoid secretion in mature female hamsters
(Elsevier, 1992-04)
The possibility that habitual voluntary running induces a chronic change in adrenal glucocorticoid synthesis and secretion was examined in freely running mature female hamsters, in whom this behavior accelerates growth, ...
Proportional myoelectric control of a virtual object to investigate human efferent control
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
We used proportional myoelectric control of a one-dimensional virtual object to investigate differences in efferent control between the proximal and distal muscles of the upper limbs. Eleven subjects placed one of their ...
Evaluation of Pre-service Teacher Preparation for Achieving the National Standards for Beginning Physical Education Teachers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2003-12)
The aim of this study was to investigate pre-service physical education teachers' self-assessment of their competent levels in achieving the national standards for beginning physical education teachers (National Association ...
The effects of age on substrate depletion and hormonal responses during submaximal exercise in hamsters
(Elsevier, 1987)
Senescent hamsters display a marked reduction in volume of voluntary running. The purpose of this study was to determine whether age differences exist in the pattern of fuel utilization during submaximal exercise, which ...
Contribution of breast volume and weight to body fat distribution in females
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1980-07)
Breast volume and body composition were measured in 45 adult females to determine the contribution of breast weight and breast volume to total body fat. Plaster casts were filled with sand of known density to obtain breast ...
Characteristics of growth-inducing exercise
(Elsevier, 1980-04)
Characteristics of growth-inducing exercise in hamsters were studied by examining (a) dependence of this phenomenon on a specific activity device, (b) its species-specificity, and (c) features of the running pattern which ...
Youth beliefs about health and physical activity
(Elsevier, 1992)
This study examined the extent to which youth at Grades 3, 6, 9, and 12 believed that frequent physical activity resulted in various physical and psychological outcomes. Youth at all four ages believed that frequent activity ...
