(2001-08)A market survey of La Crosse was performed to determine the latest trends on visitors to the La Crosse region. -
Ability of the LeanScreen to accurately assess waist-to-hip ratio and percent of body fat in comparison to laboratory tested procedures
(2017-09-28)Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and percent body fat (%BF) are commonly used in wellness and clinical settings, and while there is only one commonly used method for measuring WHR, %BF can be determined in many ways. However, the ... -
An accelerated learning program in La Crosse, Wisconsin
(1997-05)This study was a follow-up of an accelerated learning program in the La Crosse City Public Schools. The purpose was to determine the effect of an accelerated program on subsequent academic achievement, educational and ... -
Accuracy of exercise prescription methods compared to the ventilatory threshold
(2002-12)Many exercise professionals use non-invasive methods to determine exercise prescription. These methods have the risk of prescribing exercise intensities that are below and above the ventilatory threshold (VT). This study ... -
The accuracy of heart rate and energy expenditure measurements using the Polar M430 watch
(2020-12)This study was designed to assess the accuracy of the Polar M430 fitness watch to measure heart rate (HR) and energy expenditure (EE) during low, moderate, and high intensity treadmill exercise. Twenty subjects (12 males, ... -
Accuracy of heart rate-based zone training using predicted versus measured maximal heart rate
(2017-12)Predicted maximal heart rate (PMHR) equations are used in a variety of settings for exercise prescription. However, their efficacy is often questioned in the literature. The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy ... -
Accuracy of various activity trackers in estimating steps taken and energy expenditure
(2013-12)This study was designed to assess the accuracy of various activity trackers in estimating steps taken and energy expenditure. The activity trackers included the Nike Fuelband, Jawbone UP, BodyMedia FIT Core, Adidas MiCoach, ... -
Acoustic analysis as a surrogate for gas exchange
(2013-05)Measurement of ventilatory (VT) and respiratory compensation (RCT) threshold is a standard practice during exercise testing with measurement of respiratory gas exchange (RGE). Previous work suggested the feasibility that ... -
The acute effect of foam rolling on range of motion, flexibility, agility, and vertical jump height
(2019-12)This study was designed to evaluate the acute effects of foam rolling (FR) on range of motion, flexibility, agility, and vertical jump height. Nineteen subjects (8 male, 11 female) completed a 15-minute FR session and a ... -
The acute effect of LifeMoves� on blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and perceived stress
(2012-12)Chronic stress is a prevalent problem; stress management techniques such as yoga and meditation are advocated to reduce the detrimental effects of stress. LifeMoves�, a novel stress management technique, guides the participant ... -
The acute effects of a caffeine containing supplement on anaerobic power and subjective measurements of fatigue in recreationally active males
(2016-09-07)The consumption of caffeinated beverages to enhance performance is common in young adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of a caffeine containing supplement on anaerobic power (AP) and subjective ... -
