This study examines how each brain hemisphere contributes to motor control and coordination. Participants play virtual reality/computer games to look at how their arms move during different activities.

The earth’s climate is warming, and the number of heat waves has increased in recent years. At the same time, the number of adults over the age of 65 is growing. Humans sweat and increase blood flow to the skin to cool their body when they get hot. Older adults do not do this as well as young adults. This makes it harder to safely exercise in warm and/or humid conditions. It is important to learn about safe limits of heat and humidity for older adults to exercise. Also, nearly 40% of adults over age 50 take aspirin to lower their risk for heart disease. Our lab has shown that aspirin lowers the control of body heat.In this study, we will determine critical temperature and humidity environments above which normal body temperature cannot be maintained in young and older adults. We will also look at how aspirin may change critical temperature and humidity thresholds in older adults.

There will be 4 in person visits and sit, walk, or cycle at a low intensity in an environmental chamber.

Using micro-RNA in saliva coupled with survey data as a prognostic tool with the ability to guide clinical management of concussions

During their baseline visit participants will complete a saliva swab, surveys, balance test and brief neurocognitive test.Day 7, participants will complete a saliva swab and 2 surveys.Day 30, participants will complete a saliva swab and 4 surveys.The baseline visit is the only in-person visit, day 7 and day 30 are done remotely.All surveys are completed online and day 7 and day 30 saliva swabs are sent home with the participants and sent back in a prepaid mailer on day 30.

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have many needs for supportive care that differ from younger and older patients. This includes age-appropriate psychological support for management of distress, as well as supports for the social isolation many AYAs experience. One exciting intervention that may provide AYAs with cancer improved psychosocial support, as well as increased physical strength, is physical activity. This feasibility project aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility and acceptability of a physical activity training in AYAs with cancer delivered via a socially interactive videoconferencing platform.

The purpose of this research is to use saliva swab as a tool to diagnosis concussions and be able to differentiate a concussion and other medical conditions with the similar symptoms.

The purpose of this research study is to see if we can use micro-doppler signal technology to determine if someone has had an ACL reconstruction in the past. We will do this by comparing a group of people who have had the surgery against a group who has never had this surgery to see if this technology can tell the difference.

If you join this study you would be asked to come to a one-hour appointment at the Lebanon Valley College campus in Annville, PA and perform a variety of activities that are part of daily life, such as walking, jumping, and standing from a seated position. We'll ask you to complete a questionnaire on any musculoskeletal pain you're experiencing and report your demographic information.

The purpose of this study is to determine what golf equipment and swing characteristics best predict playing ability in a population of golfers. Golfers will come to the laboratory and hit shots with various clubs while the movement of their body and the ball are tracked.

Participants will come to the Penn State Golf Teaching and Research Center and hit golf shots using their driver, 7 iron, and putter. A golf simulator will be used to track the ball trajectory. The movements of participant's body segments and the force they apply to the ground will be measured in three-dimensions as they swing. Participants will receive brief instruction from a Class-A PGA Professional upon completion.

The purpose of this study is to identify changes in salivary micro ribosomal nucleic acid (miRNA) expression that are predictive of symptom duration and severity following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in children. The primary endpoints of this study are as follows:1)Characterization of brain-related miRNA in the saliva of 250 children with mTBI and 200 age- and gender-matched controls between the ages of five and twenty-three years.2)Identification of a set of salivary miRNAs that is predictive of duration and severity of mTBI symptoms.

Description: This research study is to assess energetic status, reproductive health, and bone health in a population of young exercising men. Secondarily, this study will also explore how diet, fitness, cardiovascular function, eating behaviors, stress, cognitive function, and sleep related to energy and reproductive outcomes in exercising men. Eligible young men (age 18-35) are those who are generally healthy and either a) exercising or b) not exercising.

There will be essentially 4 study visits - The first visit will include informed consent to take part in the study & completion of questionnaires and measurement of anthropometrics. Visit 2 will include tests of your metabolism, a blood draw, and assessment of diet and physical activity. Visit 3 will include tests of body composition, bone health, aerobic and anaerobic fitness, cognitive testing and reproductive function. Visit 4 will consist of a results meeting and return of wearable devices and logs.

This experimental study will investigate foot joint function during walking and running and/or hopping and performing heel raises. Participants will walk and run and/or complete heel raises with mass added to their body and will walk and run and/or hop with a plastic wedge secured to the underside of their toes.

The purpose of this trial is to test different levels of exercise needed to reduce liver fat in patients with NASH.

If you take part in this research, your major responsibilities will include: •Completing exercise sessions (if randomized to exercise group). A typical exercise session will include a 5 minutes warm-up with stretching, 15-45 minutes of brisk walking, jogging or recumbent bike and a 5-minute cool-down.
