This dissertation comprises four experimental studies investigating interventions and assessments for motor performance in dancers, middle-aged, and older adults. Two studies evaluated transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for influencing motor performance and adaptation and two studies assessed balance control in older adults.In the first study, TENS was applied to the hamstring muscles of high-level dancers as they completed a body-weight resistance training regimen. No greater improvements in balance or strength were observed in dancers who received TENS compared with dancers who received Sham TENS. This finding suggests that the benefits of supplemental TENS may be limited to middle-aged or older adults not engaged in regular physical training as well as individuals with neurological impairments.The subsequent study examined how continuous and bursting TENS applied to the quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles influenced 6-min walk distance in middle-aged adults. Both forms of bursting TENS resulted in greater distances walked than continuous TENS and no TENS. Additionally, several walking kinematic variables adjusted with changing walking speeds independent of TENS condition.The final two studies assessed how tempo-controlled resistance training of hip abductors or ankle dorsiflexors influence postural control in older adults as well as how muscle function and accelerometer-based variables can predict postural sway measured from center of pressure. Neither training of the hip abductors nor the ankle dorsiflexors improved balance control in older adults. However, there were several tests of muscle function as well as multiple accelerometer-based variables that could significantly predict postural sway in older adults. Further, we have expanded on the application of Romberg Quotients for inferring sensory contributions to postural control by comparing multiple balance conditions and determining the agreement of Romberg Quotients calculated from different balance variables.This dissertation builds on the application of interventions for improving motor performance as well as specific assessments of motor function in middle-aged and older adults.
