Accelerometer Data Treatment for Adolescents: Fitting a Piece of the Puzzle

Smith, M; Taylor, S; Iusitini, L; Stewart, T; Savila, F; Tautolo, ES; Plank, L; Jalili-Moghaddam, S; Paterson, J; Rush, E (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

Keogh, JW; Palmer, BR; Taylor, D; Kilding, AE (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 ...

Acute responses to resistance and high-intensity interval training in adolescents

Harris, N; Dulson, D; Logan, G; Warbrick, I; Merien, F; Lubans, D (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 ...

America's Cup Sailing: Effect of Standing Arm-Cranking ("Grinding") Direction on Muscle Activity, Kinematics, and Torque Application

Pearson, SN; Hume, PA; Cronin, J; Slyfield, D (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 ...

Application of the Repetitions in Reserve-based Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale for Resistance Training

Helms, ER; Cronin, J; Storey, A; Zourdos, MC (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 ...

Assessment of Direct and Indirect Associations Between Children Active School Travel and Environmental, Household and Child Factors Using Structural Equation Modelling

Ikeda, E; Hinckson, E; Witten, K; Smith, M (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 ...

Associations between lifestyle behaviours and optimal wellbeing in a diverse sample of New Zealand adults

Prendergast, K; Schofield, G; Mackay, L (BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)

Background: In positive psychology optimal wellbeing is considered a broad, multi-dimensional construct encompassing both feelings and functioning. Yet, this notion of wellbeing has not been translated into public health. ...

Associations of the perceived and objective neighborhood environment with physical activity and sedentary time in New Zealand adolescents

Hinckson, E; Cerin, E; Mavoa, S; Smith, M; Badland, H; Stewart, T; Duncan, S; Schofield, G (BioMed Central, 2017)

Background: There is accumulating evidence supporting the association between neighborhood built environments and adults’ physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST); however, few studies have investigated these ...

Between-day Reliability of Pedal Forces for Cyclists During an Incremental Cycling Test to Exhaustion

Bini, RR; Hume, PA (IOS Press, 2013)
