  • Blood flow responses to different set pressures using elastic “multichambered” blood flow restriction bands

    Open AccessPat R Vehrs, Kalissa Cox et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2026

    Introduction The blood flow responses to blood flow restriction (BFR) with “multi-chambered” BFR bands are not well understood. This study investigated the blood flow responses to four set pressures in the arm and leg using B-Strong BFR bands. Methods Ultrasound was used to measure unoccluded blood flow prior to measuring blood flow at each of four set pressures (200, 300, 400, 500 mmHg) in the arm and the leg in 60 participants (30 males; 30 fem…

  • Trends in BMI Percentile and Body Fat Percentage in Children 12 to 17 Years of Age

    Open AccessPat R Vehrs, Gilbert W Fellingham et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    This study evaluates the cross-sectional trends in body fat percentage (BF%) and body mass index (BMI) percentile rank, and the relationship between the two in 332 (177 boys, 155 girls) 12- to 17-year-old children. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated using measured height and body mass, and sex-specific BMI for age percentile rank was determined using CDC growth charts. Body fat percentage (BF%) was measured with DEXA. Fat mass index (FMI) and f…

  • Bayesian Analysis of the HR–VO2 Relationship during Cycling and Running in Males and Females

    Open AccessPat R Vehrs, Nicole D Tafuna’i et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Professional organizations advise prescribing intensity of aerobic exercise using heart rate reserve (%HRR) which is presumed to have a 1:1 relationship with either maximal oxygen uptake (%VO 2 max) or %VO 2 reserve (%VO 2 R). Even though running and cycling are popular modes of training, these relationships have not been investigated in a group of males and females during both running and cycling. This study evaluated the %HRR-%VO 2 max and %HRR…

  • Sex Differences in Dysfunctional Movements and Asymmetries in Young Normal Weight, Overweight, and Obese Children

    Open AccessPat R Vehrs, Haley Barker et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    This study evaluated overall performance on the functional movement screen (FMS), prevalence of asymmetries and dysfunctional movements, and the relationship between measures of adiposity and the FMS score. Methods: Ninety-four (53 boys; 41 girls) 10-12-year-old children in Hungary and Germany who were participating in daily physical education performed the FMS. The mean FMS score in girls (14.1) was significantly higher than in boys (12.9). Indi…
