Doctoral students Jessica Albers, Julia Dutove, and Hayley Russell presented at the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., last weekend.
Albers presented work in progress which was titled, “Jump Rope Teams for Youth.” Dutove and Russell presented their dissertation proposals in the graduate student work in progress poster session. Dutove’s work is titled, “Parent Behavior on Youth Sport Sidelines,” and Russell’s work is named, “Psychological and Physical Predictors of Return to Activity among Adolescent Athletes after ACL Reconstruction.”
Russell also presented a paper entitled, “Microtrauama sport injury psychology narratives in long distance runners,” which examines the specific experiences and responses of male and female long-distance runners who have endured microtrauma injuries. This paper was co-authored by fellow Ph.D students Reed Steele and Ayanna Franklin in addition to Dr. Diane Wiese-Bjornstal and former Masters student Shelby Hoppis.
