CONGRATULATIONS, to one of our own alumna of both the Kinesiology department and , Catherine “Dolly” Cairns.

Cairns’ study with Dr. Chapman, “The Relationship between Foot Anthropometrics, Lower-Extremity Kinematics, and Ground Reaction Force in Elite Female Basketball Players,” was recently published in the journal Biomechanics.

This study investigated the connection between foot structure (specifically, arch height index and navicular drop, essentially a flattening of the arch) in elite female basketball players and their lower extremity movement patterns, as well as the force they generate when landing and pushing off the ground.

Congratulations again to Dr. Chapman and 🏀📃

Today, President Parlange was able to see two key methods from Dr. Logan’s Lab - an EEG to measure the neural index of executive function, and a VO2max treadmill test to measure cardiorespiratory fitness. The Logan Lab is investigating how physical activity and fitness can enhance brain health in populations who need it most, such as children with ADHD, menopausal women, and People with Parkinson’s Disease. 🧠🏃🏻‍♀️💡

Looking back at this week in the Kinesiology department… our KIN301 students ran VO2 Max tests!
•
This is an aerobic fitness test that measures how effectively your body uses oxygen while exercising. This test will tell you your maximal oxygen consumption and give you other data that can be used to improve or create training plans.
•
Great work to all of our students who performed this lab, and teaching assistants who ran them!
