LibGuides: Exercise Science: Overview

Recent Articles from the ASU Department of Health & Exercise Science

Also look at the faculty pages at hes.appstate.edu (scroll down). These PubMed and Google Scholar searches will give you some false positives.

Dissertations and Theses

Dissertations and theses often cover current topics or topics that have not been studied extensively.

Please refer to the Theses and Dissertations Guide to help you identify authoritative resources for finding a thesis or dissertation on your topic.

WorldCat.org
You can limit to These/Dissertations in upper left (if there are any).

WorldCat.org searches the collections of Belk Library and Information Commons and thousands more libraries around the world, including all libraries in the UNC System.
NC DOCKS
For ASU and some other UNC schools. Search under Exercise Science and variations on that, and on Kinesiology.

NC DOCKS is a cooperative effort to make the scholarly output of the University of North Carolina System more available to the world. Current institutional participants include Appalachian State University, East Carolina University, UNC Greensboro, UNC Pembroke, and UNC Wilmington. NC DOCKS includes many full text articles, audio recordings, dissertations, and other formats. All materials are indexed by Google and are freely available to scholars and researchers world-wide.

Adverse Events

MedDRA
Contact John Wiswell for access.
A medical terminology used to classify adverse event information associated with the use of biopharmaceuticals and other medical products (e.g., medical devices and vaccines). Coding these data to a standard set of MedDRA terms allows health authorities and the biopharmaceutical industry to more readily exchange and analyze data related to the safe use of medical products.

Top Exercise Science Databases

PubMed

PubMed provides access to bibliographic information from more than 5,200 journals in the life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine.

PubMed is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, and provides access to over 14 million citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and preclinical sciences.

Coverage: 1950-present
Web of Science (ISI)
Provides indexing for over 12,000 academic journals, proceedings of international conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions, from three databases:
Science Citation Index, 1899-
Social Sciences Citation Index, 1898-
Arts & Humanities Citation Index, 1975-

Web of Science also offers a true cited reference index, which allow you to trace particular research forward in time or backward in time to see how works grow and develop in a focused area of research.
Google Scholar
Google Scholar provides access to scholarly articles, conference papers, theses, books, and technical reports.

I like APPsearch too, on the main library page.
