Tibial Acceleration and Shock Attenuation in Female and Male Distance Runners at Different Levels of Body Weight Unloading
Running popularity has led to a rise in chronic lower limb injuries resulting from cumulative loading. Many of these injuries are tibial stress fractures. Tibial accelerometers are commonly used to measure tibial stress and may even be predictive of injury at the distal limb. Lower body positive …

The Effects of Walking on the Alter-G® Treadmill on Fat Oxidation in Overweight/Obese Males
… To determine if a reduction of body weight from 100% to 75% while walking on a lower body positive pressure treadmill (LBPP) affects peak oxygen consumption (V̇O<sub>2peak</sub>), fat oxidation (FO), peak fat oxidation (PFO), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), heart rate (HR) and …

Influence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) on Rostral Fluid Shift, and the Pathophysiology on Asthma
… asthma, fluid shift into the thorax induced by lower body positive pressure (LBPP) while supine provokes an increase in small airway resistance. However, whether fluid redistribution links OSA with asthma remains unknown. This thesis aimed to investigate the role of fluid accumulation in the …
