Item Effects of reactive balance training on joint health(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2022) Peart, Dakota Paul; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: David GrahamFalls are a major cause of mortality and morbidity among older adults. One of the major risk factors of falls is impaired neuromotor function, which can be addressed through conventional exercise programs. While beneficial for many aspects of health, conventional training does not appear to greatly reduce the incidence of falls. More recently, reactive balance training (RBT) has emerged as a task-specific exercise that is highly effective and efficient at reducing subsequent fall rates. However, little is known about the tissue-level effects that this high-impact exercise may have on the joints of participants. Overtraining by performing RBT at excessive volumes or intensities could feasibly cause damage and degradation of joint-related tissues, potentially leading to discomfort and even post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Such processes are driven by mechanisms featuring general and tissue specific signaling molecules, and also yield tissue-specific breakdown products. To explore the possibility of joint damage resulting from reactive balance training, healthy middle-aged adults performed varying amounts of RBT, and the resulting signaling responses were observed. It was found that RBT does induce a prominent biochemical response, and the nature and magnitude of the response appears to be influenced by the volume and intensity of training performed.Item An evaluation of Montana high school physical education programs by Northern Montana College freshmen(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1958) Edwards, Donald W.Item Role of the classroom teacher in elementary physical education(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1960) Drew, MarianItem A survey of elementary physical education programs in Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1975) Undem, Marilyn Marsh; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Willis VandiverItem Ability of educable mentally retarded boys and girls to increase flexibility(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1970) Summerford, Christine F.; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Gary EvansItem The development of a physical education curriculum guide for the Chester Elementary School (K-6)(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1974) Skonord, Rudolph Anson; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Gregory Paul StefanichItem Marking standards and practices in boys' physical education classes in secondary schools in southern California(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1961) Ancell, John E.Item College physical education requirements for students preparing to teach(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1959) McCormick, GeorgeItem A survey of potential tort liability practices of male physical education teachers in selected Montana schools(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1971) Lersbak, Wayne FrancisItem Values in basic training rules for the athlete and the athletic program(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1961) Kober, Alvin C.
