Accelerometer Data Reduction in Adolescents: Effects on Sample Retention and Bias
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background Accelerometry is increasingly being recognized as an accurate and reliable method to assess free-living physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents. However, accelerometer data reduction criteria remain ... -
Accelerometer Data Treatment for Adolescents: Fitting a Piece of the Puzzle
(Elsevier, 2017)This study aimed to assess the differences in participant retention and associations between physical activity and key variables when a range of accelerometer data inclusion criteria are employed. Data were drawn from 204 ... -
ACE and UCP2 gene polymorphisms and their association with baseline and exercise-related changes in the functional performance of older adults
(PeerJ, 2015)Maintaining high levels of physical function is an important aspect of successful ageing. While muscle mass and strength contribute to functional performance in older adults, little is known about the possible genetic basis ... -
Active Transportation and Public Transportation Use to Achieve Physical Activity Recommendations? A Combined GPS, Accelerometer, and Mobility Survey Study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Accurate information is lacking on the extent of transportation as a source of physical activity, on the physical activity gains from public transportation use, and on the extent to which population shifts in ... -
Activity Profiles of Elite Netball Umpires: A Review
This review has outlined the existing literature relating to activity profiles in elite netball umpires. In particular, the physical (distance travelled), physiological (heart rate), and technical (movement classifications) ... -
Acute Metabolic Changes With Thigh-positioned Wearable Resistances During Submaximal Running in Endurance-trained Runners
(MDPI, 2019)The aim of this study was to determine the acute metabolic effects of different magnitudes of wearable resistance (WR) attached to the thigh during submaximal running. Twenty endurance-trained runners (40.8 ± 8.2 years, ... -
The Acute Physiological Responses to Strongman Training Compared to Traditional Strength Training
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2015)Harris, NK, Woulfe, CJ, Wood, MR, Dulson, DK, Gluchowski, AK, and Keogh, JB. Acute physiological responses to strongman training compared to traditional strength training. J Strength Cond Res 30(5): 1397–1408, 2016—Strongman ... -
Acute responses to resistance and high-intensity interval training in adolescents
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017)The purpose of this study was to compare the acute physiological responses within and between resistance training (RT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) matched for time and with comparable effort, in a school ... -
Agreement Between Force and Deceleration Measures During Backward Somersault Landings
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)This study examined the agreement between force platform and inertial measurement unit (IMU) measures of backward somersault landings. Seven female gymnasts performed three trials, taking off from a 90 cm vaulting box and ... -
America's Cup Sailing: Effect of Standing Arm-Cranking ("Grinding") Direction on Muscle Activity, Kinematics, and Torque Application
(MDPI, 2016)Grinding is a key physical element in America's Cup sailing. This study aimed to describe kinematics and muscle activation patterns in relation to torque applied in forward and backward grinding. Ten male America's Cup ... -

(MDPI, 2016)Grinding is a key physical element in America’s Cup sailing. This study aimed to describe kinematics and muscle activation patterns in relation to torque applied in forward and backward grinding. Ten male America’s Cup ... -
Annual Baseline King-Devick Oculomotor Function Testing Is Needed Due to Scores Varying by Age
(MDPI, 2021)Objective: To document baseline King-Devick (K-D) oculomotor function scores for male and female participants aged between 4 and 20 years old. Methods: Utilising a cross section of schools, rugby clubs and gymnastic clubs, ... -
Application of the Repetitions in Reserve-based Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale for Resistance Training
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2016)Ratings of perceived exertion are a valid method of estimating the intensity of a resistance training exercise or session. Scores are given after completion of an exercise or training session for the purposes of athlete ... -
Are Children Participating in a Quasi-experimental Education Outside the Classroom Intervention More Physically Active?
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background: Education outside the classroom (EOtC) is a curriculum-based approach to teaching that has shown positive associations with children's physical activity and academic learning in small-scale case studies. The ... -
Assessing the Nutrient Intake of a Low-carbohydrate, High-fat (LCHF) Diet: A Hypothetical Case Study Design
(BMJ, 2018)Objective: The low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) diet is becoming increasingly employed in clinical dietetic practice as a means to manage many health-related conditions. Yet, it continues to remain contentious in nutrition ... -
Assessment of Bilateral Asymmetry in Cycling Using a Commercial Instrumented Crank System and Instrumented Pedals
(Human Kinetics, 2014)The accuracy of commercial instrumented crank systems for symmetry assessment in cycling has not been fully explored. Therefore, the authors' aims were to compare peak crank torque between a commercial instrumented crank ... -
Assessment of Direct and Indirect Associations Between Children Active School Travel and Environmental, Household and Child Factors Using Structural Equation Modelling
(BioMed Central, 2019)Background: Active school travel (AST) is influenced by multiple factors including built and social environments, households and individual variables. A holistic theory such as Mitra’s Behavioural Model of School Transportation ... -
