Neurovascular Coupling by Functional Near Infra-red Spectroscopy and Sport-related Concussion in Retired Rugby Players: The UK Rugby Health Project
(Frontiers Media, 2020)Aim: This study investigated cerebral hemodynamic responses to a neurovascular coupling (NVC) test in retired contact athletes with a history of repeated mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and in controls with no history ... -
Incidence of Match Injuries in an Amateur Women’s Rugby Union Team in New Zealand Over Two Consecutive Seasons
(Kosmos Publishers, 2020)Background: Rugby Union is played in over 200 countries with over 8.5 million registered players worldwide. Despite increased popularity of the game for women, there is relatively little evidence for incidence, causes or ... -
United States Under-19 Rugby-7s: Incidence and Nature of Match Injuries During a 5-year Epidemiological Study
(BioMed Central, 2020)Background: There is a lack of injury data for the new Olympic sport of Rugby-7s, particularly for involved youth. Objective: To determine injury rates and characteristics for players participating in U.S. Rugby-7s U19 ... -
Within- and Between-session Reliability of a Pedal Force System for Power Output and Pedal Force Effectiveness Measurements
(University School of Physical Education, Wrocław, 2020)The study assessed within- and between-session reliability of power output (PO) and pedal force effectiveness and compared PO from the pedals with the Lode Excalibur cycle ergometer. Methods. Seventeen male cyclists performed ... -
Does Playing Away From Home Influence the Number and Severity of Impacts in Amateur Rugby Union Players: Analyses by Home/Away, Won/Lost and First/Second Season Halves
(SciMed Central, 2020)Objectives: To determine head impact characteristics for amateur rugby union players. Design: Descriptive cohort study. Methods: A total of 20,687 head impacts greater than 10g over a 2013 amateur senior rugby union ... -
Sociodemographic and Built Environment Associates of Travel to School by Car Among New Zealand Adolescents: Meta-analysis
(MDPI AG, 2020)Travelling to school by car diminishes opportunities for physical activity and contributes to traffic congestion and associated noise and air pollution. This meta-analysis examined sociodemographic characteristics and built ... -
Deprivation Matters: Understanding Associations Between Neighbourhood Deprivation, Unhealthy Food Outlets, Unhealthy Dietary Behaviours and Child Body Size Using Structural Equation Modelling
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020)BACKGROUND: Children residing in neighbourhoods of high deprivation are more likely to have poorer health, including excess body size. While the availability of unhealthy food outlets are increasingly considered important ... -
Low-carbohydrate, Healthy-fat Eating: A Cost Comparison With National Dietary Guidelines
(John Wiley & Sons, 2020)Aim: A low-carbohydrate, healthy-fat (LCHF) dietary approach has been demonstrated as an effective strategy for improving metabolic health; however, it is often criticised for being more expensive than following a dietary ... -
Concussion Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviour in Equestrian Athletes
(Elsevier, 2020)Objective: To determine knowledge, attitudes and behaviour towards concussion in adult equestrian athletes. Design: Nationwide, cross-sectional, questionnaire. Methods: Participants were recruited via advertisements ... -
Efficacy of a Compulsory Homework Programme for Increasing Physical Activity and Improving Nutrition in Children: A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)Background Most physical activity interventions in children focus on the school setting; however, children typically engage in more sedentary activities and spend more time eating when at home. The primary aim of this ... -
Sled-pull Load-velocity Profiling and Implications for Sprint Training Prescription in Young Male Athletes
(MDPI, 2019)The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of individual load-velocity profiles and the between-athlete variation using the decrement in maximal velocity (Vdec) approach to prescribe training loads in resisted ... -
Visualising Combined Time Use Patterns of Children’s Activities and Their Association With Weight Status and Neighbourhood Context
(MDPI, 2019)Compositional data techniques are an emerging method in physical activity research. These techniques account for the complexities of, and interrelationships between, behaviours that occur throughout a day (e.g., physical ... -
