Where's the Wif? Referent Selection and Retention
Recruiting
The goal of this work is to address increasing concerns about young children's digital media exposure and language outcomes by testing how the times course of word learning unfolds in digital environments and the cascading impact of digital media on vocabulary outcomes. The findings will have important implications for understanding when and where optimal word learning from media can occur.

Determinants and Outcomes of High vs. Low Ultra-processed Feeding
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about, test, and compare health outcomes of high vs. low-processed feeding. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Does consuming a diet rich in unprocessed food improve various health outcomes? Participants will either be instructed to consume a diet rich in unprocessed food for 6 months, or consume their typical diet for 6 months. At various points in the study there will be metabolic health data collected. If there is a comparison group: Re... Read More

Endothelial Derived Hyperpolarization Factor and Vascular Control
Recruiting
Most cardiometabolic diseases are characterized by increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during rest and exercise which contributes to poor health outcomes. In healthy humans during muscle contraction, there is a blunting of skeletal muscle vascular responsiveness to increases in MSNA. However, the exact mechanisms involved are unknown although, best evidence suggests that the mechanism is endothelium derived, but nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin (PG) independent. Endothelium-der... Read More

Wakaya: Rising Up for Choctaw Youth Health
Recruiting
Investigators will conduct a two-group randomized waitlist-control trial to assess the efficacy of the Wakaya: Rising Up for Choctaw Youth Health program on improving physical activity, reducing sedentary behaviors and improving healthful eating habits as well as delaying or reducing alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. Wakaya is an experiential, outdoor, nature-based program grounded in Choctaw values. It is a multi-level intervention that increases individual motivation and leadership skills t... Read More

Resistance Training With Blood Flow Restriction
Recruiting
Blood flow restriction associated with resistance training is suggested to potentiate increases in muscular strength and hypertrophy. This study will compare the effects of resistance training associated with blood flow restriction with a regular resistance training program. Findings of this project will provide important information regarding a promising intervention to potentiate muscle performance.

Neuromodulation and Fatigue
Recruiting
In this project, we aim to determine any potential effects of a weak electrical current applied to the neck or thoracic area on functional capacity and muscle activation. Healthy individuals will participate in one familiarization followed by three experimental sessions. Fatigability and motor function will be assessed in each test session.
