Boyle, Jason Baxter (2012-02-14)Three experiments compared wrist and arm performance in a cyclical Fitts’ target task. The purpose of Experiment I was to determine if movement kinematics differed for wrist/elbow flexion/extension movements to targets of ...
-
Ryu, Young Uk (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of amplitude scaling on bimanual coordination in a circle drawing task. Eleven right-handed subjects traced the perimeter of 5 circles measuring 3, 6, 9, 12, and ...
-
Ryu, Young Uk (2009-05-15)Two experiments were designed to examine the influence of the strength of perceptionaction coupling on the control and learning of a visuomotor tracking pattern. Participants produced rhythmic elbow flexion-extension motions ...
-
The effects of an employee fitness program on worker productivity, absenteeism, and health care cost Oden, Gary Lynn (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, ...
-
Manzano, Isabel (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The following experiments looked at how encoding information and available cues at test can influence context effects. More specifically, the present experiments investigated the overshadowing and outshining hypotheses. ...
-
Patterson, Patrick Edwar (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of load uncertainty on the lifting characteristics of the subjects. Forty male subjects volunteered for this study. Twenty subjects were members of the Texas A&M ...
-
Signorile, Joseph Francis (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 ...
-
Krock, Larry Paul (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect that three post-exercise conditions had on plasma norepinephrine concentrations following strenuous submaximal exercise in a group of moderately active, middle-aged ...
-
Tandy, Richard Duvall (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The purpose of this study was to examine, through Monte Carlo methods, the empirical alpha levels and the statistical power obtained when selected data from motor learning research was subjected to univariate and multivariate ...
-
Williams, Jay Harry (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The purpose of these experiments was twofold: 1) to determine the concentration-effect relationship between epinephrine and peak isometric twitch tension in isolated skeletal muscle and 2) to determine if extracellular ...
-
Beach, Clark Richar (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship of kinematics to spatial and temporal timing error measurements in a rapid timing task. In Experiment 1, subjects performed 25 trials at each of 9 ...
-
Kendall, Steven Cla (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The purpose of this study was to investigate the maximal oxygen uptake capacity of cardiac patients and several transient submaximal exercise characteristics. The specific problem was to identify the speed at which oxygen ...
-
Kovacs, Attila J. (2011-08-08)Two experiments were conducted in an attempt to further the understanding of how previously identified intrinsic constraints and perceptual factors interact in influencing the learning and performance of various bimanual ...
-
Bonn, Mark Andre (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)This study examined the utility of sociodemographics, psychographic scales, and benefit scales for segmenting pleasure vacation travel markets. This study was undertaken because relevant travel and tourism literature has ...
-
Um, Seoho (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The purpose of this study was to identify perceived inhibitors and perceived facilitators in the pleasure travel destination choice process. A two stage travel destination choice model was developed based on the concept ...
-
Simpson, Warren Keit (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The purpose of the present study was to test a theoretical model for predicting potential coaching success in women's intercollegiate basketball. This was accomplished by investigating the variables of gender, race, previous ...
