Asymmetry analysis of the arm segments during forward handspring on floor
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-12-01)Asymmetry in gymnastics underpins successful performance and may also have implications as an injury mechanism; therefore, understanding of this concept could be useful for coaches and clinicians. The aim of this study was ... -
Coordination as a function of skill level in the gymnastics longswing
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-06-18)The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of inter-joint coordination at different levels of skilled performance to: (1) distinguish learners who were successful versus unsuccessful in terms of their task ... -
Technique selection ‘the coaches challenge’ influencing injury risk during the first contact hand of the round off skill in female gymnastics.
(De Gruyter, 2017-03)The importance of technique selection on elbow injury risk has been identified for the key round off skill in female gymnastics, with a focus on the second contact limb. The aim of this study was to shift the focus to the ... -
Sprint start kinetics of amputee and non-amputee sprinters
(PLOS, 2016-11-15)The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the forces applied to the starting blocks and the start performances (SPs) of amputee sprinters (ASs) and non-amputee sprinters (NASs). SPs of 154 male and ... -
Functional phase and angular momentum characteristics of high bar swinging: Differences between the Kovacs and Tkachev on high bar
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-05-10)Understanding the technical requirements and underlying biomechanics of complex release and re-grasp skills on high bar allows coaches and scientists to develop safe and effective training programmes. The aim of this study ... -
The influence of hand positions on biomechanical injury risk factors at the wrist joint during the round-off skills in female gymnastics
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-11)The aim of this study was to examine the biomechanical injury risk factors at the wrist, including joint kinetics, kinematics and stiffness in the first and second contact limb for parallel and T-shape round-off (RO) ... -
Biomechanical energetic analysis of technique during learning the longswing on high bar
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Biomechanical energetic analysis of technique can be performed to identify limits or constraints to performance outcome at the level of joint work, and to assess the mechanical efficiency of techniques. The aim of this ... -
Changes in joint kinetics during learning the longswing on high bar
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Biomechanics helps us understand the association between technique changes and performance improvement during learning. The aim of this research was to investigate joint kinetic characteristics of technique during learning ... -
Elbow joint variability for different hand positions of the round off in gymnastics.
(Elsevier, 2015)The aim of the present study was to conduct within-gymnast analyses of biological movement variability in impact forces, elbow joint kinematics and kinetics of expert gymnasts in the execution of the round-off with different ... -
Prevalence of non-functional overreaching in elite male and female youth academy football players
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-06-20)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of non-functional overreaching (NFOR) and overtraining (OT) in elite male and female youth football players. Methods: Two-hundred and forty-two youth football ... -
Decision-making of English Netball Superleague umpires: Contextual and dispositional influences
(Elsevier, 2017-04-05)Objectives. The decisions made by officials have a direct bearing on the outcomes of competitive sport contests. In an exploratory study, we examine the interrelationships between the decisions made by elite netball umpires, ... -
Biomechanical uncertainties of field based data during high bar release skills
(Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2016)Ecological validity is a focal concern within applied sports biomechanics, however this often runs parallel with a reduction in accuracy and reliability due to restrictions regarding interference with the sporting environment. ... -
Lower limb joint kinetics in the starting blocks and first stance in athletic sprinting
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-08-17)The aim of this study was to examine lower limb joint kinetics during the block and first stance phases in athletic sprinting. Ten male sprinters (100 m PB, 10.50 ± 0.27 s) performed maximal sprint starts from blocks. ... -
New Insights into the Development of Maximal Sprint Speed in Male Youth
(National Strength and Conditioning Association, 2017-04-01)Speed is a key aspect of Youth Physical Development programs and commonly assessed during talent identification testing protocols, yet little is understood about the factors that underpin the natural development of maximal ... -
Trajectories towards failure: considerations regarding post-16 transitions within the UK Sport-Education sector
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-04-03)This paper offers insights into the increasing dichotomy that exists between official forms of opportunity and access and the actual ‘lived experience’ of young peoples' trajectories towards careers in the UK's market-orientated ... -
Bio-banding in Sport: Applications to Competition, Talent Identification, and Strength and Conditioning of Youth Athletes
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2017-04-01)Bio-banding is the process of grouping athletes on the basis of attributes associated with growth and maturation, rather than chronological age. Children of the same age may vary considerably in biological maturation with ... -
Systolic and Diastolic LV Mechanics during and following Resistance Exercise
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2017-05-16)PURPOSE: To improve the current understanding of the impact of resistance exercise on the heart, by examining the acute responses of left ventricular (LV) strain, twist and untwisting rate ('LV mechanics'). METHODS: LV ... -
Emotional experiences in youth tennis
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)Abstract Objectives To explore adolescents' emotional experiences in competitive sport. Specifically, this study sought to identify, 1) The emotions adolescents' experience at tennis tournaments, 2) The precursors of the ... -
Training load and fatigue marker associations with injury and illness: A systematic review of longitudinal studies
(Springer, 2017-03-01)Background Coaches, sport scientists, clinicians and medical personnel face a constant challenge to prescribe sufficient training load to produce training adaption while minimising fatigue, performance inhibition and risk ... -
Predicting psychological distress of informal carers of individuals with major depression or bipolar disorder
(Wiley, 2017-03-19)Caring for someone with a mental illness is associated with high levels of burden and psychological distress. Understanding these factors could be important to prevent the development of physical and mental health problems ...
