Efficacy of a movement control injury-prevention programme in an adult community rugby union population; a cluster randomised controlled trial.
(BMJ Journals, 2017-02-01)Background Exercise programmes aimed at reducing injury have been shown to be efficacious for some non-collision sports, but evidence in collision sports such as rugby union is lacking. Objective To evaluate the efficacy ... -
It’s not ‘who’ but ‘how badly’: The association of Functional Movement Screen with injury outcome in community rugby union
(BMJ Journals, 2017-02-01)Background: The use of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is widespread, but evidence supporting its use as an injury-screening tool in team sports such as Rugby Union is equivocal. Objective: To determine the association ... -

Local vibration inhibits H-reflex but does not compromise manual dexterity and does not increase tremor
(Elsevier, 2017-09-01)The present work aimed at investigating the effects of local vibration on upper limb postural and kinetic tremor, on manual dexterity and on spinal reflex excitability. Previous studies have demonstrated a decrease in ... -
Patients with established cancer cachexia lack the motivation and self-efficacy to undertake regular structured exercise
(Wiley, 2017-07-31)Objectives Patients with advanced cancer frequently suffer a decline in activities associated with involuntary loss of weight and muscle mass (cachexia). This can profoundly affect function and quality of life. Although ... -
Protective effects of acute exercise prior to doxorubicin on cardiac function of breast cancer patients: A proof-of-concept RCT
(Elsevier, 2017-07-14)Background: Preclinical studies have reported that a single treadmill session performed 24 h prior to doxorubicin provides cardio-protection. We aimed to characterize the acute change in cardiac function following an initial ... -
