Effect of blocked and random practice schedule variations on acquisition and retention of a pattern drawing task
(1998)The contextual interference (CI) effect refers to the phenomenon that practice organised according to a random schedule appears to negatively affect acquisition, while retention performance is facilitated. Previous ... -
The Effect of breastfeeding on the neonatal abstinence scores of infants born to mothers on a methadone maintenance program : an epidemiological study
(2010)The objective of this research study is to determine the effects that breastfeeding has on methadone exposed infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), born at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Methadone ... -
Effect of chromium supplementation on blood glucose control in individuals with type 2 diabetes
(2003)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chromium supplementation on the blood glucose control of individuals with type 2 diabetes. A positive finding would result in substantial health and financial ... -
The effect of facial protection, impact location, and neckform stiffness on peak linear acceleration, risk of injury, and energy loading measures of horizontal impacts on a hockey helmet
(2018)Helmets were originally designed and implemented to protect players from skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries by minimizing linear impact accelerations. The sport of hockey, however, has evolved, and now includes ... -
Effect of feedback and motivational orientations on intrinsic motivations
(1998)The purpose of the study was to investigate how dispositional motivational orientations effect the perception of external rewards and the resulting effect on intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation was assessed with ... -
Effect of group goals on group performance
(1998)The purpose o f the present study was to investigate the effect o f group goal difficulty and group goal commitment on group performance. In addition, it was also to investigate two mediating processes, effort and ... -
Effect of gustatory stimulation on endurance performance
(1997)The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ingestion of an energy-free aspartame beverage (ASP) (99 mg aspartame/L) would influence endurance performance relative to a water (WAT) trial. Nine trained male ... -
The effect of isometric cervical strength, head impact location, and impact mechanism on simulated head impact measures in female ice hockey players
(2018)Head injuries in sport have become a growing concern due to the negative acute and chronic health effects manifested from concussion injuries. Ice hockey is a sport associated with a high rate of concussions, although most ... -
The effect of leg dominance on lower limb kinematics during a 180° pivot maneuver in healthy female soccer players at three different stages of physical maturation
(2016)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of leg dominance on lower limb kinematics during a 180° pivot maneuver in healthy female soccer players at three different stages of maturation: pre-pubertal, pubertal, ... -
The Effect of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury on Reaction Time, Dual-tasking Reaction Time and Heart Rate Variability in Driving Simulation
(2015)The present study was performed to address some gaps in current literature related to dual tasking, reaction time, and heart rate variability (HRV) in concussed individuals during driving simulation, and to determine the ... -
Effect of oral glutamine supplementation on resting blood and saliva immune parameters in endurance trained athletes
(2001)There is considerable evidence suggesting that frequent, intense, long duration exercise is associated with adverse effects on the immune system as shown by a decrease in immune cell numbers and function. This may ... -
Effect of seasonal training on selected physical and physiological variables of junior male alpine ski racers
(1990)The purpose of this study was threefold: 1) to investigate the effect of seasonal training on anthropometry, muscular strength and power, motor ability, flexibility, aerobic power, and anaerobic power and capacity, 2) ... -
Effect of seasonal wrestling training and unavoidable interventions on selected physiological parameters
(1979)The purpose of this study was to investigate, 1) the effect of seasonal wrestling training on aerobic and anaerobic power, physical working capacity (170), resting, maximal and recovery heart rate, 2) to determine the ... -
The Effect of Spring Loaded Single-Hip Support Cane Mechanisms on Upper and Affected Lower Limb Ground Reaction Forces, Muscle Activity, and Self-perceived Ease of Use
(2016)The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of commercial spring loaded single-tip canes on ground reaction forces, impulse, and EMG activation in the upper limb during ambulation. Ground reaction ... -
Effect of two interval training programs on lactate threshold, ventilatory threshold and oxygen kinetics at the onset of exercise in females
(1991)The primary purpose of the present study was to measure the effects of two different forms of high intensity aerobic interval training. These modes were a) training at a 1:1 work/rest ratio, using 30 seconds work and ... -
The effect of variable type of practice on one handed catching in children with developmental disorders
(2017)Children with developmental disorders, such as DCD, struggle with interceptive tasks like ball catching. These problems may be due to less than optimal abilities to coordinate and control actions at intra- and inter-limb ... -
The Effect of warm-ups and elevated oxygen consumption on running performance in trained collegiate distance runners
(2014-01-22)The mobilization hypothesis (Andzel & Gutin, 1976) states that starting a performance with an elevated baseline oxygen consumption will improve performance by reducing the oxygen deficit at the beginning of the task, ... -
Effects of a 10 week yoga intervention on balance, mobility, spasticity and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis
(2006)Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that results in many symptoms including balance deficits, mobility limitations, spasticity and reduced quality of life (Joy & Johnston, 2001). However, ... -
