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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Associations between lifestyle behaviours and optimal wellbeing in a diverse sample of New Zealand adults
(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
(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
(IOS Press, 2013)BACKGROUND: Reliability of pedal forces during cycling specific tests needs to be established if pedal forces are to be used in longitudinal studies evaluating performance improvements. METHOD: We assessed the reliability ... -
Blood Pressure Measurement at Two Years in Offspring of Women Randomized to a Trial of Metformin for Gdm: Follow up Data From the MiG Trial
(BioMed Central, 2015)Offspring born following maternal gestational diabetes are at risk of excessive childhood weight gain and Type 2 diabetes in childhood, which in turn is associated with an increased rate of hypertension. We aimed to determine ... -
Built Environment and Physical Activity in New Zealand Adolescents: A Protocol for a Cross-sectional Study
(BMJ Open, 2014)Built-environment interventions have the potential to provide population-wide effects and the means for a sustained effect on behaviour change. Population-wide effects for adult physical activity have been shown with ... -
Carrying a Ball Can Influence Sidestepping Mechanics in Rugby
(The International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS), 2015)Sidestepping mechanics have been implicated as a risk factor for knee injury in rugby. Carrying a ball is proposed to alter movement patterns. Therefore the purpose of the study was to examine the effects of sidestepping ... -
Coaching and coach development in New Zealand
(Human Kinetics Journal, 2015)For a small country with a population of 4.47 million (Statistics New Zealand, 2015), New Zealand achieves great success on the world sporting stage. One of the many contributors to this success is New Zealand’s commitment ... -
Cohort Profile: Pacific Islands Families (Pif) Growth Study, Auckland, New Zealand
(BMJ Publishing, 2016)This article profiles a birth cohort of Pacific children participating in an observational prospective study and describes the study protocol used at ages 14-15 years to investigate how food and activity patterns, metabolic ... -
Concept to sale of a healthier snack bar
(Ommega Publishers, 2016)Snacking between meals provides important contribution to dietary intake of key nutrients. There is a need for snack bars that are nutrient dense, have a low glycemic load and increase feelings of fullness and satiety. ... -
Convergent Validity of ActiGraph and Actical Accelerometers for Estimating Physical Activity in Adults
(PLoS, 2018)Purpose: The aim of the present study was to examine the convergent validity of two commonly-used accelerometers for estimating time spent in various physical activity intensities in adults. Methods: The sample comprised ... -
Correlates of Gross Motor Competence in Children and Adolescents: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(Springer, 2016)Gross motor competence confers health benefits, but levels in children and adolescents are low. While interventions can improve gross motor competence, it remains unclear which correlates should be targeted to ensure ... -
Cross-continental comparison of the association between the physical environment and active transportation in children: a systematic review
