A Comparison of Knee Muscle Activation and Knee Joint Stiffness Between Female Dancers and Basketball Players During Drop Jumps
This dissertation compared knee muscle activation of the lateral gastrocnemius, medial and lateral hamstrings, and lateral quadriceps (LG, MH, LH, and LQ) and knee joint stiffness (KJS) between female dancers (D) and basketball players (B) during the initial landing of a double-leg drop jump. The purpose was to examine possible neuromechanical strategies dancers employ that might protect them from Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries during a potentially high ACL-injury risk activity. Fifty-five females (D=35, 20.7+/-2.3yrs, 164.3+/-6.7cm, 62.2+/-1.9kg, B=20, 20.1+/-2.0yrs, 170.5+/-6.1cm, 72.6+/-11.4kg) performed 5 double-leg drop jumps from a 45cm box. Muscle activity was recorded via ...

In The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future, Julie M. Stamm dissects the issue of repetitive brain trauma in youth sports and their health consequences, explaining the science behind impacts to the he...
Sports around the World [4 volumes]
This multivolume set is much more than a collection of essays on sports and sporting cultures from around the world: it also details how and why sports are played wherever they exist, and examines key charismatic athletes from around the world who have transcended their sports.

Unlike most works of this type, this book provides both essays that examine general topics, such as globalization and sport, international relations and sport, and tourism and sport, as well as essays on sports history, culture, and practice in world regions—for example, Latin America and the Car...
Effect of Ankle Stabilzers on Vertical Jump, Agility, and Dynamic Balance
Abstract: The current study compared the effects of ankle stabilizers on the vertical jump, agility, and dynamic balance performance. The ankle stabilizers utilized were Swede-O Ankle Lok Brace, Air-Cast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace, athletic taping, and the nonsupport condition. Vertical jump performance was measured using the vertical jump test, agility performance was measured using the Right-Boomerang Run test, and dynamic balance performance was measured using the Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance. No statistically significant (p = .27) difference existed in the heights of the jumps performed by participants (N = 10) in the vertical jump test. No statistically significant difference (p =...
The Routledge Companion to Dance Studies
The Routledge Companion to Dance Studies maps out the key features of dance studies as the field stands today, while pointing to potential future developments. It locates these features both historically—within dance in particular social and cultural contexts—and in relation to other academic influences that have impinged on dance studies as a discipline. The editors use a thematically based approach that emphasizes that dance scholarship does not stand alone as a single entity, but is inevitably linked to other related fields, debates, and concerns. Authors from across continents have contributed chapters based on theoretical, methodological, ethnographic, and practice-based case studies, bringing together a wealth of expertise and insight to offer a study that is in-depth and wide-ranging. Ideal for scholars and upper-level students of dance and performance studies, The Routledge Companion to Dance Studies challenges the reader to expand their knowledge of this vibrant, exciting interdisciplinary field.
