  Maiya King & Kent GriffithEstimating Energy Expenditure of Treadwall Climbing with Three Different Methods
  Payton Jacobson, Lauren Goodman, Emily Rewa, Elizabeth MulliganDetermine the difference in EMG activation when loading the bicep femoris in a long eccentric contraction vs. EMG activation in a short eccentric contraction.
  Victoria Stafford, Wilme Els, Sammy Klepperich, Heather BarryHow does eccentric utilization ratio (EUR) relate to eccentric and concentric kinetic asymmetry index (KAI%) following 20 bilateral air squats, four participants will perform a countermovement jump and static jump
  Vanessa Seigauf, Ava Barton, Erin Hoezel, Jackson CotterWhat is the difference in three different shim positions, placed underneath the 1st metatarsal phalangeal joint, 5th metatarsal phalangeal, and the medial arch on pelvic stability during a single leg squat. Determine the percent change in lateral tilt from neutral pelvic position to the bottom of the eccentric portion of the squat. 
  Henry Seymour, Tyler Grant, Nolan Pummell, Jayvin ZaleskiDetermine the difference in bilateral asymmetry of force production in the Isometric Hang High Pull vs. bilateral asymmetry in handgrip force production.
