We have gathered studies to properly look at the outcome of protein supplementation on resistance training on muscle mass, including muscle thickness, muscle fibers, and cross-sectional area of the muscle in both young and old populations. These studies involve participants of >18y, of both sexes, in any degree of health or physical activity (i.e., untrained, […]
C11: The Fusion of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise: Physiological and Perceptual Responses
To optimize the benefits of exercise training, we tested a novel combined aerobic (AE) & resistance exercise (RE) routine. PURPOSE: To determine if alternating short bouts of RE & AE into one exercise routine or microcycles (MC) of RE & AE results in similar cardiovascular, metabolic & perceptual responses compared to a traditional method of […]
C56: Long Term Effect of Physical Inactivity on Macrophage Inflammation and Extracellular Matrix in Postnatal Mice
Background: Physical inactivity has many detrimental effects on health, yet the impact of physical inactivity in early life on muscle health in adulthood remains unknown. Early postnatal malnutrition has prolonged effects into adulthood and we propose that early postnatal physical inactivity would have similar effects Hypothesis: When placed under physical inactivity conditions, significant differences will […]
C57: Physical Inactivity Forms Negatively Impact Grip Strength and Body Composition in Early Postnatal Mice
Background: Physical inactivity has many detrimental effects on health, yet the impact of physical inactivity in early life on muscle health in adulthood remains unknown. Early postnatal malnutrition has prolonged effects into adulthood and we propose that early postnatal physical inactivity would have similar effects. Methods: To test this hypothesis we exposed postnatal mice (3-4 […]

C66: Do Perceived Sorority Tiers Impact Members’ Drinking Habits?
Alcohol consumption is endemic on University campuses across the United States despite vehement interventions (Winters et al., 2011). Students, typically between the ages of 18 and 22, suffer academic, socioemotional, and physical consequences as a result of problem drinking. More than half of all college students drink alcohol at any point during the span of […]
C77: Alcohol Intake and Antibiotic Use: Intended and Unintended Consequences among College Students
In the U.S., excessive alcohol consumption is very common and can cause many negative effects, and is a threat to public health. Alcohol consumption is linked to negative consequences. Examples of these harmful behaviors include assault, injury, car accidents, risky decision making, etc (White & Hingson, 2014). Additionally, it is very common to get ill […]

B51-P: Impact of COVID-19 Anxiety on Drinking Behaviors in College Students
As of October 29, 2020, the United States has had 8,834,393 positive COVID-19 cases and 227,045 COVID-19 deaths (CDC, 2020). Although this disease is a recent development, some studies have already been conducted on COVID-19 anxiety. 20.9% of adults in Australia reported drinking more during the pandemic than before (Tran et al., 2020). 24.9% of […]
