Item Foam rolling as a short term recovery intervention during submaximal quadricep fatigue protocol(2019) Manning, Randall; Avalos, Marco; Tuttle, Noelle; Kwon, Young-HooFoam rolling is the practice of applying pressure onto a muscle through a dense cylinder. This technique has been gaining popularity among CrossFit and other athletic endeavors, but is still not fully understood. This study will observe the effects of passive rest against foam rolling in an acute situation between bouts of exercise. The participants will perform a strenuous leg extension exercise with both their dominant and non‐dominant legs. The peak power and torque will be collected before and after using either passive rest or foam rolling as a recovery method. The purpose of the study is to compare the peak power and torque between bouts of exercise utilizing passive rest or foam rolling as recovery interventions. It will provide information on the optimal use of foam rolling in athletics, and may impact the recovery and maintenance of performance for athletes.Item Foot orthoses and the effects on athletic performance: A literature review(2019) Ondari, Whitney; Avalos, Marco; Tuttle, Noelle; Young-Hoo, KwonAthletes in sports such as cross country, track, basketball, soccer etc. benefit greatly in their performance when having appropriate gait mannerisms. These mannerisms can be achieved through the use of a supportive shoe that can allow proper foot and ankle alignment. Foot orthoses have been known for providing proper alignment, therefore improving gait patterns, for those experiencing issues such as pronation, supination, and flat feet that cannot be corrected with shoes alone. A complete review of the published literature will be constructed and compile available data related to the use of orthotics in improving athletic performance. This review will include a search for orthotics related to athletic performance in a variety of sports. The purpose of this review is to increase awareness of how foot orthoses can enhance an athlete’s overall performance. (Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Young‐Hoo Kwon)
