  • A Pilot Study on High Intensity Functional Training in an Adaptive Population
    A pilot study on high intensity functional training in an adaptive population by Victor Andrews B.S., Kansas State University, 2016 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH Department of Kinesiology College of Health and Human Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Approved by: Major Professor Katie Heinrich Copyright © Victor Andrews 2019. Abstract Introduction: There are currently more than 56 million adults in the U.S. living with a disability that may affect activities of daily living and quality of life (QoL). Disabilities and chronic conditions may place impairments that limit participation in physical activity due to needing adaptations in order to be physically active. Physical activity is helpful in the prevention of secondary health conditions for those with an adaptive need. This pilot study investigated the effectiveness of adaptive high intensity function training (HIFT) for improving self-reported activity limitations and participation restrictions, QoL, sport/exercise beliefs, physical activity self-efficacy and enjoyment, and measured basic human movements (BHM). Methods: A two site pilot study was conducted using a single condition pre-test posttest design to provide an 8- week adaptive HIFT intervention to those with an adaptive need (e.g., cane, wheelchair). Eight participants (62.5% male, 37.5% White, 37.5% Black, 25% Hispanic/Latino, 100% with some college education or more) completed 2-3, 60-minute exercise sessions per week of high intensity, low volume workouts with trainers certified in adaptive HIFT. Participants completed online surveys including the World Health Organization QoL-BREF, the outpatient physical therapy improvement in movement assessment log (OPTIMAL), sport and exercise ability, and physical activity self-efficacy and enjoyment.

  • Representing All Hourly Rated Employees of the Queens Division, Who Safely Operate and Maintain Buses for MTA New York City Transit
    For Immediate Release: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Contact: Corey Bearak (ATU 1056 Policy & Political Director) (718) 343-6779/ (516) 343-6207 ATU Local 1056 Makes Case to Make Queens Bus Service Whole Testimony to the New York City Council Committee on Transportation June 19, 2012 by I. Daneek Miller, President/ Business Agent, ATU Local 1056 On behalf of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1056, thank you Chairman Vacca, members of the committees and other concerned Council Members present. I am ATU 1056 President and Business Agent I. Daneek Miller. My members and I appreciate this opportunity to outline the need to restore bus service outside Manhattan, where the City Department of Transportation focused on a number of initiatives in Midtown and along the East Side in particular. Our members – bus operators and mechanics – work for MTA New York City Transit's Queens bus division; we serve the riding public. Since the misguided and hurtful cuts to bus service in affecting any communities outside Manhattan, ATU Local 1056 has organized news conferences, rallies and other events with electeds and community leaders to urge the MTA to reverse harmful cuts and enlist Mayor Bloomberg in an effort where he remains largely silent. As many must recall, the mayor proposed private vans instead of the public bus service, and we all know how that went down; that dumb plan – another attempt at privatization – provided the Jay Walder-led MTA with some cover to refrain from looking at bus service restorations. We all know what happened: The MTA has refused to use the almost $100 million Federal stimulus funds (our tax dollars) it had available then to prevent cuts in service.
