The Association Between Sport Specialisation and Movement Competency in Youth: A Systematic Review
(Sage, 2021)Negative long-term outcomes have been reported following sport specialisation including increased injury risk. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear; however, fewer exposures to broad ranging movement patterns and ... -
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 ... -
Can Machine Learning With IMUs Be Used to Detect Different Throws and Estimate Ball Velocity in Team Handball?
(MDPI AG, 2021)Injuries in handball are common due to the repetitive demands of overhead throws at high velocities. Monitoring workload is crucial for understanding these demands and improving injury-prevention strategies. However, in ... -
The Brain Injury Screening Tool (BIST): Tool Development, Factor Structure and Validity
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2021)Currently health care pathways (the combination and order of services that a patient receives to manage their injury) following a mild traumatic brain injury vary considerably. Some clinicians lack confidence in injury ... -
Prediction of Military Combat Clothing Size Using Decision Trees and 3D Body Scan Data
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Aim To determine how well decision tree models can predict tailor-assigned uniform sizes using anthropometry data from the New Zealand Defence Force Anthropometry Survey (NZDFAS). This information may inform automatic ... -
Pre-exercise Carbohydrate or Protein Ingestion Influences Substrate Oxidation but Not Performance or Hunger Compared With Cycling in the Fasted State
(MDPI AG, 2021)Nutritional intake can influence exercise metabolism and performance, but there is a lack of research comparing protein-rich pre-exercise meals with endurance exercise performed both in the fasted state and following a ... -
Cluster Size Prediction for Military Clothing Using 3D Body Scan Data
(Elsevier BV, 2021)Aim To determine how anthropometric characteristics cluster in the New Zealand Defence Force, and to describe the characteristics of each cluster. This information can inform the development of new uniform sizing systems ... -
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 ... -
Biomechanics and User Testing of the Impact of IRB Modifications on Tibial Loading: Technical Report #8 to Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ)
(Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) & Auckland University of Technology (AUT), 2020) -
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 ... -
