The effect of working memory training on executive function in reduced-obese women: implications for long-term weight loss maintenance (the mind the gap 2 study)
… this study. All 29 women were characterised at baseline testing for various physiological, behavioural and cognitive outcomes. After baseline testing, a subset of 19 reduced-obese women underwent 6-weeks of WMT, after which they completed post-intervention testing and a 6-month follow up. The …

An Eccentric Intervention of the Flexor-Pronator Mass To Impact Overhead Throwing Distance and Velocity
… distance thrown from a standing position. After baseline testing was completed participants underwent a short intervention to determine if the intervention would impact all dependent variables. Experimental and non-experimental groups were compared using a repeated measures ANOVA which found no …

Determining the False Positive Rate of a Concussion Battery in Healthy Division I Collegiate Athletes
… stability assessment, and neurocognitive testing. The accuracy of each test is vital in correctly diagnosing concussions. The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC), and Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) are among …

The potentiating effects of different warm-up protocols on sprint cycling performance
… 13.6 kg) consented to participate and completed baseline testing (BL). Due to circumstances surrounding the outcome of covid-19, only 8 participants completed all testing, subsequently affecting the reliability of the analysis. Baseline testing included a back squat three-repetition maximum …

Neurocognitive Implications of Sport-Related Concussion in High School Athletes Over-Time
… performance in several domains on initial baseline testing. Furthermore, these findings generally persist upon follow-up neurocognitive testing during adolescence. Thus, persistent neurocognitive deficits found during adolescence may have profound implications for brain development and …

Post-Activation Potentiation: Decay or Fatigue Delay
… trained participants who took part in 3 days of testing (familiarization/baseline testing and 2 fatigue test days). The results of the current study showed no significant difference between the control and experimental days for any of the variables measured. The results of this study demonstrate …

The Effects of Problem-Based Learning on Mathematics Achievement of Elementary Students Across Time
… The participants were then administered baseline testing in the fall of the third-grade year using the Test of Mathematical Abilities for Gifted Students (TOMAGS). The TOMAGS was then re-administered each subsequent spring (grades 3-6) for growth data. A mixed two-factor ANOVA revealed …

Deception of Resistance and the Effects on Muscular Fitness and Perceived Exertion
… trials of this study. The first trial was the baseline testing which included a one-repetition maximum and repetitions to failure, at 60% one-repetition max, protocols of barbell back squat. The remaining three trials consisted of similar protocols but the resistance was masked. These three …

The Relationship Between Neuropsychological Functioning, Biomarker AV-1451, and Subjective Memory Impairment in a Cognitively Normal Sample
… individuals who had undergone PET imaging at baseline testing. Results found no significant differences between memory scores for SMI or nSMI participants, nor were there significant differences between groups on tau standardized uptake value ratios. There were significant main effects for tau …

Hippocampal Volume and the Detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment in an Older Adult Population: Assessing Performance on Cognitive Screeners Administered In-Person and Electronically
… impairment and had undergone neuropsychological testing consisting of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Cogstate Brief Battery, as well as structural magnetic resonance imaging scans of the hippocampus at baseline testing. The learning/working memory composite from the Cogstate Brief Battery …

Identification and Progression of Oculomotor Impairments in Acute Sport-Related Concussion
… Future work should use larger sample sizes, baseline testing, and more ecologically valid tasks to determine which oculomotor measures are most clinically useful for diagnosis and return-to-play decisions.

Prenatal stress alters fear-conditioned behaviors and the response to serotonergic drugs
… (i.e. freezing). PS rats do not differ in baseline peak startle responding, or in the habituation of the peak startle response when compared to the non-prenatally stressed (CON) rats. However, PS rats have greater peak responses and longer latencies to reach the peak response following …
