Introduction: The importance of periodization variables in research for athletic populations is drastically overlooked. Proper periodization can allow for maximizing athletic performance ...

Introduction: Injury rates in all levels of baseball pitchers have increased over the last two decades, while the knowledge behind the mechanics of pitching has increased as well. In-game...

The ability to produce consistently high average sprint time over a series of sprints separated by less than or equal to 60 seconds of recovery is vital for sports. Muscle and core temper...

Less than half of the U.S. adults meet the current exercise recommendations for cardiorespiratory exercise. Exercise has been shown to positively impact cardiometabolic risk factors and m...

Previous research has indicated that resistance training utilizing accentuated eccentric loading patterns augments concentric outputs. Mechanical stretch coupled with eccentric overload m...

This study investigated the effects of acute ingestion of sodium bicarbonate on fatigue and power output during a repeated-sprint cycling protocol (10 x 6 second sprints interspersed with...

Introduction: Repeated-sprint ability is used to measure the physiological demands of stop-and-go activities. Athletes have a high physiological demand and environmental stress during hig...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Kinesio Tape on throwing velocity, accuracy and range of motion looking at maximum external rotation and the angle of ball relea...

Introduction: There has been significant attention given to sleep deprivation in college students, especially within the student-athlete population. The demands of a competitive season co...

Introduction: Human variability is defined as the possible values for any measurable inconsistent characteristics in human beings. New studies are showing that elite athletes are not able...

Introduction: Over the past 20 years, the literature has demonstrated that military members are prone to exertional heat illness due to a combination of heavy loads and physical exertion....

Previous studies have shown that focus of attention, in the form of instruction and feedback, is highly effective in increasing learning (Shafizadeh, 2013). Cues facilitate the learning o...

Background: Velocity based training has been proposed as a method of periodization through prescription of velocities rather than loads in training. However, specific velocity ranges have...
