Martin, Jim | Fourier series approximations and low pass filtering: facilitating learning of digital signal processing for biomechanics students | Filtering raw biomechanical data to remove noise is a key first step that must be performed prior to further biomechanical analysis. Raw biomechanical data are usually filtered to remove noise above a specified cutoff frequency, a process known as "low pass filtering". The concept of frequency conte... | | 2009-01-01 |

Martin, Jim | No differences in cycling efficiency between world-class and recreational cyclists | The aim of this experiment was to compare the efficiency of elite cyclists with that of trained and recreational cyclists. Male subjects (N =69)performed an incremental exercise test to exhaustion on an electrically braked cycle ergometer. Cadence was maintained between 80-90rpm. | Gross efficiency; Delta efficiency; Cycling efficiency; Economy; VO2peak | 2004 |

Martin, Jim | Aerodynamic drag area of cyclists determined with field-based measures | Aerodynamic drag is an important factor in the performance of competitive track and road cyclists. Recently we used wind-tunnel testing to validate a practical measure of aerodynamic drag derived from a field test.

Martin, Jim | Torso stabilization reduces the metabolic cost of producing cycling power | Many researchers have used cycling exercise to evaluate muscle metabolism. Inherent in such studies is an assumption that changes in whole-body respiration are due solely to respiration at the working muscle. Some researchers, however, have speculated that the metabolic cost of torso stabilization... | Torso stabilization; Efficiency; Economy; Static contraction; Work | 2005 |

Newton, Maria | Effects of a classroom-based physical activity program on childrens physical activity levels | High levels of physical inactivity are evident among many American children. To address this problem, providing physical activity (PA) during the school day within the CSPAP framework, is one strategy to increase children's PA. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a classroo... | | 2014-01-01 |

Friedrich, Frances; Walker, James A. | Effects of parietal injury on covert orienting of visual attention | The cognitive act of shifting attention from one place in the visual field to another can be accomplished covertly without muscular changes. The act can be viewed in terms of three internal mental operations: disengagement of attention from its current focus, moving attention to the target, and enga... | Dominance, Cerebral; Attention; Extinction, Psychological | 1984-07 |

Kowalski, Christopher Aaron; Deesing, Michole Ann; Deeter, Nicholas B.; Symons, John David | Ceramide-induced disruption of endothelial nitric oxide synthase dimerization in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) is not secondary to peroxynitrite formation | An estimated 23.6 million individuals in the United States have diabetes and of those 90-95% have type II diabetes. Cardiovascular complications (e.g., hypertension and vascular dysfunction) are four-fold more prevalent in patients with type II diabetes. To gain insight into mechanisms responsib... | Ceramide-induced disruption; Nitric oxide synthase dimerization; Bovine aortic endothelial cells; BAEC; Peroxynitrite formation; Trapeze Interactive Poster | 2010-01-20 |

Hannon, James C. | Determination of step rate thresholds corresponding to physical activity intensity classifications in adults | Background: Current recommendations call for adults to be physically active at moderate and/or vigorous intensities. Given the popularity of walking and running, the use of step rates may provide a practical and inexpensive means to evaluate ambulatory intensity. Thus, the purpose of this study wa... | | 2011 |

Martin, Jim | Validation of a mathematical model for road cycling power | This investigation sought to determine if cycling power could be accurately modeled. A mathematical model of cycling power was derived, and values for each model parameter were determined. A bicycle-mounted power measurement system was validated by comparison with a laboratory ergometer. | Aerodynamic drag; Rolling resistance; Air velocity; Gradient; Cycling power; Potential energy; Kinetic energy | 1998 |
