Exercise Science and Physical Therapy faculty present with students at professional meeting

Eric Hall, Paul Miller, Elizabeth Bailey, Stephen Folger and Stephen Bailey presented original research with students at the 2006 Southeast American College of Sports Medicine Annual Conference in Charlotte, NC.

Kristin Sanders, Christine Kostura, Rachel Blakeslee, Rachel DeWitt, Lindsay Gonzalez, Kristin McDonough, Brooks Martin, Pete Bellezza, Jackie Delgiorno, and Lauren Rappaport all participated as investigators in this scholarship.

Alumni Elizabeth Chmelo (’05) and Amy Morse (’05) were also collaborators on these studies.

Elizabeth Chmelo received the Student Research Award at this conference for her research investigating the use of mirrored environments for resistance training and the corresponding affective and anxiety responses.

Brooks Martin’s presentation resulted from a Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (S.U.R.E.) mentored by Dr. Eric Hall.

The following presentations were made;

RL Blakeslee, EK Bailey, PC Miller, JM Delgiorno and EE Hall: “The influence of various distraction stimuli on affective responses to cycle ergometry.”

E Chmelo, KN Sanders, PC Miller and EE Hall: “Self- reflection – mirrors and resistance training, do they influence affect and state anxiety responses?”

CM Kostura, PC Miller, EE Hall, LM Gonzalez and EK Bailey: “Effects of various stimuli on exercise performance.”

B Martin, P Bellezza, SE Folger, SP Bailey, PC Miller and EE Hall: “Are the changes in brain activity during exercise due to accumulation or intensity of exercise?”

AS Morse, EE Hall, EK Bailey and PC Miller: “Relationships between preference and tolerance of exercise intensity and exercise performance.”

LE Rappaport, RE Dewitt, KK McDonough, PC Miller and EE Hall: “Resistance training with mirrors: effect on heart rate and rate of perceived exertion.”
