Community-based Approaches to Reducing Health Inequities and Fostering Environmental Justice Through Global Youth-engaged Citizen Science
(MDPI, 2021)Growing socioeconomic and structural disparities within and between nations have cre-ated unprecedented health inequities that have been felt most keenly among the world’s youth. While policy approaches can help to mitigate ... -
International Physical Activity and Built Environment Study of Adolescents: IPEN Adolescent Design, Protocol and Measures
(2021)INTRODUCTION: Only international studies can provide the full variability of built environments and accurately estimate effect sizes of relations between contrasting environments and health-related outcomes. The aims of ... -
Moving the Lab Into the Mountains: A Pilot Study of Human Activity Recognition in Unstructured Environments
(MDPI AG, 2021)Goal: To develop and validate a field-based data collection and assessment method for human activity recognition in the mountains with variations in terrain and fatigue using a single accelerometer and a deep learning ... -
Performance Indicators Contributing to Success at the Group and Play-off Stages of the 2019 Rugby World Cup
(Universidad de Alicante Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021)Performance indicators that contributed to success at the group and play-off stages of the 2019 Rugby World Cup were analysed using publicly available data obtained from the official tournament website using both a ... -
Bidirectional Causal Control in the Dynamics of Handstand Balance
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)The aim of this study was to identify motor control solutions associated with the ability to maintain handstand balance. Using a novel approach, we investigated the dynamical interactions between centre of pressure (CoP) ... -
Nutrition and Hydration As a Function of Health for Injury and Acute Illness Prevention During Sport and Exercise Participation: A Narrative Review
(SPRINZ, Auckland University of Technology, 2020)No abstract. -
Coordination Variability in Overground Running and Walking at Preferred and Fixed Speeds
(NMU Commons, 2020)Coordination variability (CoordV) is impacted by the type and speed of locomotion, however, the appropriate number of trials required for stable outputs during overground locomotion is yet to be determined. The purpose of ... -
Dynamics of Handstand Balance
(NMU Commons, 2020)The purpose of this study was to identify parameters that are associated with more successful motor control during handstand performance. For two groups of gymnasts, ‘less skilled’, who were able to hold handstands for 4 ... -
Detection of Different Throw Types and Ball Velocity With IMUs and Machine Learning in Team Handball
(International Society of Biomechanics in Sport (ISBS), 2020)The purpose of this study was to investigate if an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and machine learning could be used to detect different types of team handball throws and predict ball velocity. Throwing was measured using ... -
Methods for Regulating and Monitoring Resistance Training
(De Gruyter Open, 2020)Individualisation can improve resistance training prescription. This is accomplished via monitoring or autoregulating training. Autoregulation adjusts variables at an individualised pace per performance, readiness, or ... -
The Effectiveness of Real-time Haptic Feedback Gait Retraining for Reducing Resultant Tibial Acceleration With Runners
(Elsevier BV, 2020)Objectives To examine the effectiveness of real-time haptic feedback gait retraining for reducing resultant tibial acceleration (TA-R) with runners, the retention of changes over four weeks, and the transfer of learning ... -
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 ... -
