(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the lead leg plant on factors affecting distance in the kickoff in football. A total of 20 observations were recorded from two highly skilled kickers by a high speed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)An established message reported by behavioral scientists, who have conducted industrial research, is that performance can be enhanced through the use of goal setting. Locke, Shaw, Saari, and Latham (1981) reported, "The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)Purpose [line break] The purpose of this study was to determine relationships between physical and psychological attributes and compare gains in physical and psychological attributes in selected groups. [line break] Procedure ...

The effects of an employee fitness program on worker productivity, absenteeism, and health care cost (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Forty-five sedentary volunteers, employed by Westinghouse Corporation, completed pre-, mid-, and post-test evaluations and served as subjects for this investigation. Subjects underwent evaluations for maximum oxygen uptake, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The purpose of this study was to determine if differences occur in electrical activity of muscle at low levels of contraction in a 48-hour period following eccentric and concentric contractions. Specific purposes of this ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)It was the purpose of this study to investigate the supportive capabilities of prophylactically-applied tape and selected prosthetic ankle devices upon inversion range of motion. The subjects for this study were 13 male ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Utilizing a pig model, it was the purpose of this in vitro investigation to examine the effects of female sex steroids, either alone or in combination with epinephrine or β-endorphin (endorphin), on the muscle metabolism ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Stretching used as part of a warm up routine for later performance has become not only popular but also recommended by physical educators. Warm up stretches are thought to enhance performance and reduce the incidence of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The purpose of this study was to determine if long-term administration of the β2 adrenergic agonist, fenoterol, would increase myosin content and peak tetanic tension in skeletal muscle. A group of 26 male grass frogs ...
-
