Comparing Ventilatory Thresholds in Combination Trained and Untrained Healthy, College-Aged Males
Joey Henry, Will Mullins, and Austin Reames
From this, it is hypothesized that individuals who are trained using combination training will have an increased ventilatory threshold compared to untrained individuals.

Aerobic Training Effects on Symptoms of Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction During Exercise in Young Sedentary Adults
Savannah Hollifield
The aim of this study was to determine how an aerobic training program influenced the symptoms of EIB in the college-aged population.

Cardiopulmonary Measures for Submaximal Arm and Leg Ergometer Tests
Savannah Hollifield
Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the differences in oxygen uptake between arm and leg ergometry, independent of gender and age. It was hypothesized that arm ergometry will display a higher oxygen uptake, heart rate, and RPE values than leg ergometry.

Comparing Validity of Body Composition Measuring Tools
Eric Jamison, Kira Ramsey, and Kristin Russell
The purpose of this study was to test the validity of body composition measuring machines by finding the error in percent difference. It was hypothesized that the Bod Pod would provide more valid percent body fat estimates than the Omron 306 and the Omron HBF541C.

The Effectiveness of Ankle Braces on Functional Movement Screening and Ankle Joint Range of Motion on Collegiate Division I Volleyball Players
Maya Jeffcoat-Troy
The purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of ankle braces on functional movement and ankle joint range of motion on female Division 1 collegiate volleyball players. The data will be analyzed to determine if ankle braces impede or help functional movement and ankle joint range of motion. It was hypothesized that ankle braces will not affect overall functional performance but will have an effect on ankle joint range of motion and lower body kinematics.

The Effects of Dry Needling on Hamstring Strains and Pain in Collegiate Athletes
Eric Jones
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dry needling on pain in acute grade 1 hamstring strains. The hypothesis for this research study was that the dry needling treatment groups would experience in a larger decrease in pain levels according to the VAS scores than the control group.

The Effects of Distance Running on Idiopathic Hypertension in Middle-Aged Sedentary Males
Courtney Kanetzke
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of distance running on sedentary middle-aged adults with idiopathic hypertension through quantitative, objective measurements. It is hypothesized that the 5000-meter participants would have the greatest reductions in blood pressure due to evidence that more aerobic activity has a high correlation with decreased blood pressure in hypertensive individuals.

How Functional Movement Screening Scores Correlate to Y-Balance Scores
Morgan Laird, Austin Billiot, Eddie Hellard, and Alan Bennett
The purpose of this study is to determine the level of correlation between the FMS and YBT assessments. The literature says that these two assessments have a moderately positive correlation (Koçak et al. 2019). The hypothesis of this study is that the FMS and YBT assessments will have a moderately positive correlation.

Hand Grip Strength as a Determinant for Upper Extremity Strength
Adonus Lee, Antwann McCray, Tia Howell, and Zach Lovelace
This study sought to determine the relationship between grip strength and upper extremity strength, and how the values differ between males and females. It was hypothesized that grip strength was a valid determinant of upper extremity strength, with females having higher relative strength due to having generally smaller body masses than males.
-
The Effect of Static versus Dynamic Stretching Programs on the Lower Body Power Assessments of the Broad and Vertical Jumps on Male Collegiate Football Players
Antwann McCray
The purpose of this study was to determine which stretching protocol would be more beneficial to power and jump performance. It was hypothesized that static stretching that occurs during an off-season workout will lead to greater increases in power assessed by the broad and vertical jumps.
-
The Effects of Creatine Supplementation on Muscle Mass in Female Bodybuilders
Morgan Murphy
The aim of this study was to determine if supplementing with creatine monohydrate increases the rate in which muscles mass develops in female bodybuilders. It was hypothesized that creatine monohydrate would result in a faster growth of muscle mass in female bodybuilders.
-
Effect of Eccentric Rehabilitation Training on Preventing Hamstring Strain Recurrences in Power Athletes
Kira Ramsey
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of an ET rehabilitation program on preventing recurring HSI in power athletes. It was hypothesized that using an ET rehabilitation program will reduce the rate of HSI.
-
The Effects of an Aerobic Exercise Program on Strength and Quality of Life in Lower-Leg Amputees with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Kristin Russell
There is a need to determine if an exercise program that focuses on improving aerobic exercise will be beneficial for amputees in comparison to the traditional therapy programs. This study sought to answer this research question. It was hypothesized that an aerobic therapy program would improve quality of life, strength, and decrease PTSD episode frequency.
-
The Effects of Caffeine on The Agility T-Test and Heart Rate
Kaylin Schuda, Callie Thornton, Jordan Vitale, Lindsey Wright, and Kylie Ameres
It was hypothesized that caffeine will increase speed and agility, and increase resting heart rate.
