The influence of barosensory vessel mechanics on the vascular sympathetic baroreflex: Insights into ageing and blood pressure homeostasis
(American Physiological Society, 2020)Changes in the arterial baroreflex arc contribute to elevated sympathetic outflow and altered reflex control of blood pressure with human ageing. Utilizing ultrasound and sympathetic microneurography (muscle sympathetic ... -
A systematic review of sport-based life skills programs for young people: The quality of design 2 and evaluation methods
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Over the past two decades, researchers have reported positive life skills outcomes for young people participating in sport-based life-skills programs. However, to date, there has been a lack of consideration in the literature ... -
A Multi-Study Exploration of Factors that Optimise Hardiness in Sport Coaches and the Role of Reflective Practice in Facilitating Hardy Attitudes
(Frontiers Media, 2020)Hardiness has been identified as a key personal characteristic that may moderate the ill-effects of stress on health and performance. However, little is known about how hardiness might be developed, particularly in sport ... -
A critical application of the ‘teaching games for understanding’ approach in the coaching context: An action research study
(Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2019)The innovative nature of the ‘Teaching Games for Understanding’ (TGfU) approach (Thorpe, Bunker & Almond, 1986) has led to considerable interest from researchers and practitioners (e.g., MacPhail et al., 2008). Consequently, ... -
Risk Factors for Upper Limb Injury in Tennis Players: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2020-04-16)Studies in tennis injuries have successfully identified the incident rate, the location, and the type of the injury. The majority of the studies have multiple perspectives (epidemiology, biomechanics, performance), however ... -

(Edra, 2020-01-01)Objectives. To establish quantitative values of stiffness for the Achilles tendon (AT) and Gastrocnemius muscle (GM) in participants weight bearing and non-weight bearing. Methods. Measurements of 25 participants taken ... -
Improved reporting of overuse injuries and health problems in sport: an update of the Oslo Sport Trauma Research Center questionnaires
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-02-14)In 2013, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-O) was developed to record the magnitude, symptoms and consequences of overuse injuries in sport. Shortly afterwards, a modified version ... -
Motivations and barriers to engagement with a technology-enabled community wide physical activity intervention
(Public Library of Science, 2020-06-26)Previous physical activity interventions have failed to create population change and an alternative approach is needed to support a World Health Organization target of a 15% reduction in global levels of inactivity by 2030. ... -
Aberrant Functional and Causal Connectivity in Acute Tinnitus With Sensorineural Hearing Loss
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06-30)Purpose: The neural bases in acute tinnitus remains largely undetected. The objective of this study was to identify the alteration of the brain network involved in patients with acute tinnitus and hearing loss. Methods: ... -
Dopaminergic Progenitors Derived From Epiblast Stem Cells Function Similarly to Primary VM-Derived Progenitors When Transplanted Into a Parkinson’s Disease Model
(Frontiers Media, 2020-04-07)Neural transplantation in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) offers to replace cells lost during the progression of the disease process. Primary fetal ventral mesencephalon (VM), the origin of bona ... -
Modulation of spinal excitability following neuromuscular electrical stimulation superimposed to voluntary contraction
(Springer, 2020)Purpose. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) superimposed on voluntary muscle contraction has been recently shown as an innovative training modality within sport and rehabilitation, but its effects on the neuromuscular ... -
Dehydration reduces stroke volume and cardiac output during exercise because of impaired cardiac filling and venous return, not left ventricular function
(Wiley, 2020-06-15)Dehydration accrued during intense prolonged whole‐body exercise in the heat compromises peripheral blood flow and cardiac output (Q). A markedly reduced stroke volume (SV) is a key feature of the dehydration‐induced ... -
The influence of habitual endurance exercise on carotid artery strain and strain-rate in young and middle-aged men
(Wiley, 2020-06-24)Central arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk that can be modified by exercise training. However, conventional local measures of carotid artery stiffness display conflicting responses to ... -
