Exploring the Association Between Worker Engagement and Safety Behaviours
(2018)This study sought to investigate whether and how worker engagement could facilitate changes in how workers define their work roles to promote behaviours which improve safety. Prior to this research, no single study had ... -
A biomechanical framework of the training principles to inform exercise selection within strength and conditioning for sprinting
(Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2018)An essential component of physical preparation for sprinting is the selection of effective training exercises, with practitioners balancing the key training principles of overload and specificity to inform their decisions. ... -
Acute Responses and Chronic Adaptations of the Arterial System to Resistance Exercise
(2018)Resistance training is rarely prescribed to enhance cardiovascular function; in fact, suggestions have been made that long-term resistance training may lead to chronic augmentations in carotid arterial stiffness and ... -
Iliocaval Venous Obstruction, Cardiac Preload Reserve and Exercise Limitation
(Springer, 2020-02-10)Cardiac output during exercise increases by as much as fivefold in the untrained man, and by as much as eightfold in the elite athlete. Increasing venous return is a critical but much overlooked component of the physiological ... -
Association between Aortic Stiffness and Cerebral Pulsatility is Modestly Influenced by Augmentation Index
(Atlantis Press, 2019-12-24)Central Pulse Pressure (CPP) and Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (aPWV) share a positive relationship with cerebral pulsatility and are associated with cerebrovascular disorders including stroke. Our aim was to examine the ... -
The relationship between the electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac structure in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
(American Veterinary Medical Association, 2020)Objective – to examine potential relationship(s) between electrocardiographic characteristics and measures of cardiac structure in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Animals – 341 chimpanzees, 175 males and 166 females. Procedures ... -
A Systematic Review of Interventions to Promote Growth Following Adversity
(Elsevier, 2020)Background: Athletes experience adversity across many aspects of their lives. Challenging the dominant idea that adversity is just a negative experience, a significant body of research in sport has demonstrated that these ... -
Inter-limb step asymmetry in closed and open skill sprint accelerations in soccer players
(De Gruyter Open, 2020)Purpose: Inter-limb differences may have detrimental effects on sports performance. There is a need to understand the comparison of asymmetries between open and closed skill tasks. The study investigated inter-limb step ... -
Management of Parkinson’s Disease during pregnancy: Literature review and multi-disciplinary input
(Wiley, 2020)Background There are no standardised clinical guidelines for the management of Parkinson’s disease during pregnancy. Increasing maternal age would suggest that the incidence of pregnancy in women diagnosed with Parkinson’s ... -
Predatory Organisms with Untapped Biosynthetic Potential: Descriptions of Novel Corallococcus Species C. aberystwythensis sp. nov., C. carmarthensis sp. nov., C. exercitus sp. nov., C. interemptor sp. nov., C. llansteffanensis sp. nov., C. praedator sp. nov., C. sicarius sp. nov., and C. terminator sp. nov.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-01-07)Corallococcus spp. are common soil-dwelling organisms which kill and consume prey microbes through the secretion of antimicrobial substances. Two species of Corallococcus have been described previously (Corallococcus ... -
Using Visual Timelines in Telephone Interviews: Reflections and Lessons Learned from the Star Family Study
