(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute thermophysiological responses of college males as they exercised with sunscreen applied to their exposed body surface in hot-dry and hot-humid climates. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Numerous physical and mathematical models have simulated highly mature diapirism in which low density material moves upward through more dense material and then spreads out as a layer known as a canopy (Jackson and Talbot, ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the difference in catecholamine (CA) excretion levels and perceived anxiety levels between physically fit and nonfit human subjects when exposed to an emotional ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of three exercise methods involving isotonic apparatus and three modifications of these methods upon selected aspects of uninjured human knees. The subjects, fifty-eight ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The purpose of this investigation was to determine if trained and untrained rats would differ in response to isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. The objectives were to: (1) determine the effect of a thirty day ...

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, 1984)Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine thermoregulatory responses during three phases of the menstrual cycle in high fat and low fat women while exercising. Procedure. Subjects who volunteered for the study ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This dissertation reports on the effects of two levels of increased ambient temperature on the performance of a tracking task and a variety of secondary mental tasks. Eighteen males, ages 18 - 29, were exposed to wet bulb ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Statement of the Problem. The problem of this study was to investigate the relationship between long-term exercise bouts and its effect on sera endorphin levels in selected human subjects. Procedure. Ten subjects performed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physical exertion on mental performance, as well as to look at this effect after various rest intervals. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to determine: ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of three years of running and/or jogging on plasma lipid levels and interacting variables in a group of middle-aged men already engaged in a long-term training ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Trial I. Twelve mature Thoroughbred horses were used to evaluate the efficacy of a fat-supplemented diet to maintain muscle glycogen stores and reduce thermal stress in exercising horses. In this study, exercising Thoroughbred ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Any requirement for drivers to attend to ancillary tasks while they are driving will contribute to attentional demands which may interfere with their driving performance. The introduction of Intelligent Vehicle Highway ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Fifteen Quarter Horse mares were randomly assigned to one of three 28-day conditioning regimes to evaluate cardiorespiratory and metabolic adaptations to exercise. The treatments were: control (no conditioning); moderate ...
