Mason, Lauren A.; Zimiga, Brandon M.; Anders-Jefferson, Regina; Paap, Kenneth R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Are Autism Quotient (AQ) scores related to executive functioning (EF)? We sampled 200 students of normal intelligence and examined the relationship between AQ scores and: (a) 5 self-ratings of EF, (b) 5 performance-based measures of EF, and (c) 5 types of activities or experiences that are assumed to recruit EF and sometimes enhance EF. Our…

Bellenger, Clint R.; Thomson, Rebecca L.; Davison, Kade; Robertson, Eileen Y.; Nelson, Maximillian J.; Karavirta, Laura; Buckley, Jonathan D. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2018
Purpose: Correlations between fatigue-induced changes in exercise performance and maximal rate of heart rate (HR) increase (rHRI) may be affected by exercise intensity during assessment. This study evaluated the sensitivity of rHRI for tracking performance when assessed at varying exercise intensities. Method: Performance (time to complete a 5-km…

Mellor, Lauren; Morini, Giovanna – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: There is evidence suggesting that aerobic exercise immediately after vocabulary training can improve word recall in school-age children. This work examined whether the previously identified word-learning benefits associated with exercise can be extended to preschoolers. Additionally, we evaluated whether the effects of physical activity…

Matthews, Evan L.; Horvat, Fiona M.; Phillips, David A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2022
The YMCA step test uses a prescribed step height which is difficult in a telehealth setting. Examine a modification of the YMCA step test allowing for the use of preexisting in-home objects of variable height as the "step" in a virtual environment. Young healthy participants (n = 40) performed step tests with a small and large object of…

Healy, Sean; Brewer, Benjamin; Laxton, Paige; Powers, Brittany; Daly, Julie; McGuire, Joseph; Patterson, Freda – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Improving physical activity (PA) levels in autistic adults is an important population health goal. Limiting efforts to achieve this goal is an incomplete understanding of the barriers to PA in this high-risk group. This study utilized cross-sectional data collected via an electronic survey from 253 autistic adults aged 18-50 years to examine their…
