The Effects of Energy Drinks on Division 1 Female Soccer Midfielders
Jordan Vitale
The purpose of this study is to expand the known effects that energy drinks have on an aerobic exercise performance and explore a new population of female soccer midfielders through the use of a Wingate test. It is hypothesized that the consumption of an energy drink prior to a Wingate an aerobic test would result in overall better an aerobic performance, specifically with increased power and a lower fatigue index.

Jumping and Stabilization Techniques in Collegiate Athletes with and without Genu Varum
Jacob Wall
The purpose of this study was to examine if there are differences in stabilization times between healthy individuals and those with Genu Varum. It is hypothesized that participants with Genu Varum will take longer to stabilize after jumping and landing.

The impact of Treating Endometriosis with Aerobic Exercise for women ages 20 to 30
Morgan Wortman
The purpose of the study was to see if aerobic exercise could be used as a treatment option for women ages 20 to 30 with endometriosis pain. It is hypothesized for the study was that exercise could help women with endometriosis if it is done continuously at a moderate intensity.

The Effect of Standing-Desks on Productivity in Obese Populations
Lindsey Wright
This study was designed to understand how the use of a standing desk would affect the cognitive function and motor skills of obese subjects.

A Correlational Study of Resting Metabolic Rate
Kylie Ameres, Savannah Hollifield, Courtney Kanetzke, Jordan Vitale, and Lindsey Wright
In this experiment, four young adults with various anthropometric measurements completed RMR tests. The purpose of this experiment is to find to what extent RMR increases in relation to FFM, BMI, height and weight. It is hypothesized that a higher RMR is associated with a higher FFM, and RMR will not indicate a strong correlation with the other variables.

Comparing Power and Endurance Athletes in the Wingate Test
Micah Balltzglier, Antwann McCray, Jacob Wall, and Megan Wortman
The outcome of the Wingate test will be investigated for both power and endurance athletes in regards to physiological adaptations as a response to power and endurance training. It is hypothesized that throughout the Wingate testing, endurance athletes will display greater recovery heart rates and lower blood pressure values due to their superior aerobic capacity. However, power athletes will maintain a lower overall percent of maximum heart rate reached, as well as lower RPE values due to superior adaptations in the creatine-phosphate, lactate clearing, and anaerobic energy systems.

Knee Angles During a Walking Gait Analysis
Savannah Hollifield and Karlee Moore
The purpose is to determine how knee angles change during specific stages of the walking gait compared to research. The subject is a young, healthy, moderately active adult, so it is hypothesized that the subject’s knee angle change during each stage will fall within the range of a healthy adult’s walking gait.

Submaximal Exercise Performance In Fasted vs. Non-Fasted Individuals
Tia Howell, Kaylin Schuda, Morgan Murphy, and Zach Lovelace
The purpose of this study is to compare exercise performance and substrate utilization in fasted and non-fasted, healthy college students during submaximal exercise on the leg ergometer. It was hypothesized that consuming a meal prior to submaximal exercise will yield a higher RER value compared to fasting at least three hours prior to the start of exercise.

Cycle Ergometer VO2 Max Test (Male vs. Female Athlete and Male vs. Female Non-Athlete)
Eric Jamison, Adonus Lee, Kira Ramsey, and Brandon Thoms
The research question posed is, how does relative VO2 of males or females compare to each other? Research has shown that males will have an overall higher VO2 than females. Also, trained individuals will have a higher VO2 than those who are untrained. The purpose of this study is conduct VO2 max tests on trained and untrained males and female to observe the differences in VO2. If the subject is a male, then the VO2 will be higher than the females regardless of training.

Kinematic Analysis of the Volleyball Swing Block
Maya Jeffcoat-Troy and Sam Kane
The main purpose of the kinematic analysis of the swing block is to assess the sequence of this movement and identify the key movements that allow the swing block to be executed efficiently.

Biomechanical Analysis of Streamline and the Breakout of a Butterfly Stroke
Courtney Kanetzke and Lindsey Wright
The butterfly stroke can be broken down into five main components: the initial glide phase, kicking phase, catch phase, front and back sweep phase, and recovery phase. The subject is a 20-year-old female collegiate swimmer. The purpose of this analysis is to differentiate the various stages streamline and the initiation of the butterfly stroke, and evaluate each step using kinematics.
