Changes in sprint performance and sagittal plane kinematics after heavy resisted sprint training in professional soccer players
(PeerJ, 2020-12-15)Background Sprint performance is an essential skill to target within soccer, which can be likely achieved with a variety of methods, including different on-field training options. One such method could be heavy resisted ... -
Arts on Prescription: Observed changes in anxiety, depression, and wellbeing across referral cycles
(Elsevier, 2021)Objectives: Arts on Prescription (AoP) interventions are partof mainstreamsocial prescribing provisionin primary health care. Whilst the body of evidence for AoPinterventions has been developing, this has primarilyfocuse ... -
A New Look at the Purported Health Benefits of Commercial and Natural Clays
(MDPI, 2021-01-05)Clays attributed to have medicinal properties have been used since prehistoric times and are still used today as complementary medicines, which has given rise to unregulated “bioceutical” clays to treat skin conditions. ... -
The Association Between Effectiveness of Tinnitus Intervention and Cognitive Function—A Systematic Review
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-06)Tinnitus refers to the perception of sound in the absence of an external stimulus. This can be problematic and can lead to health problems in some sufferers, including effects on cognitive functions such as attention and ... -
Genome‐wide significant locus for Research Diagnostic Criteria Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar type
(Wiley, 2017-08-29)Studies have suggested that Research Diagnostic Criteria for Schizoaffective disorder Bipolar type (RDC-SABP) might identify a more genetically homogenous subgroup of bipolar disorder. Aiming to identify loci associated ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies SESTD1 as a novel risk gene for lithium-responsive bipolar disorder
(Springer Nature, 2015-10-27)Lithium is the mainstay prophylactic treatment for bipolar disorder (BD), but treatment response varies considerably across individuals. Patients who respond well to lithium treatment might represent a relatively homogeneous ... -
Evidence for genetic heterogeneity between clinical subtypes of bipolar disorder
(Nature, 2017-01-10)We performed a genome-wide association study of 6447 bipolar disorder (BD) cases and 12 639 controls from the International Cohort Collection for Bipolar Disorder (ICCBD). Meta-analysis was performed with prior results ... -
The influence of habitual exercise on central haemodynamics and peripheral blood pressure regulation in normotensive middle-aged men
(Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2020)Central (aortic) haemodynamics change markedly with age, as aortic stiffness and systolic pressure augmentation increase thereby elevating aortic blood pressure. Furthermore, the autonomic regulation of vascular sympathetic ... -
Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycling of Different Duration on Viscoelastic and Electromyographic Properties of the Knee in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury
(MDPI, 2020-12-23)The benefits of functional electrical stimulation during cycling (FES-cycling) have been ascertained following spinal cord injury. The instrumented pendulum test was applied to chronic paraplegic patients to investigate ... -
The influence of increased venous return on right ventricular dyssynchrony during acute and sustained hypoxemia
(Wiley, 2020-12-28)Regional heterogeneity in timing of right ventricular (RV) contraction (RV dyssynchrony; RVD) occurs when pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) is increased during acute hypoxia. Interestingly, RVD is not observed ... -
Martial arts under the COVID-19 lockdown: The pragmatics of creative pedagogy
(2020-12-30)Martial arts organisations increasingly blend online and offline activity in order to cultivate specific qualities, skills and virtues. Students and instructors use blogs, chat fora, videos and podcasts to supplement their ... -
Influence of iron manipulation on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary reactivity during ascent and acclimatization to 5050 m
(Wiley, 2020)To examine the adaptational role of iron bioavailability on the pulmonary vascular responses to acute and chronic hypobaric hypoxia, the hematological and cardiopulmonary profile of lowlanders and Sherpa ... -
Contribution of Rare Copy Number Variants to Bipolar Disorder Risk Is Limited to Schizoaffective Cases
(Elsevier, 2018-12-20)Background Genetic risk for bipolar disorder (BD) is conferred through many common alleles, while a role for rare copy number variants (CNVs) is less clear. Subtypes of BD including schizoaffective disorder bipolar type ... -
A sympathetic view of blood pressure control at high altitude: new insights from microneurographic studies
(Wiley, 2020-12-20)High altitude (HA) hypoxia is a potent activator of the sympathetic nervous system, eliciting increases in sympathetic vasomotor activity. Microneurographic evidence of HA sympathoexcitation dates back to the late 20thcentury, ... -
The Acceptability and Influencing Factors of an Internet-Based Tinnitus Multivariate Integrated Sound Therapy for Patients With Tinnitus
(Sage, 2020-12-01)Objective: To explore the acceptability and influencing factors of an Internet-based Tinnitus Multivariate Integrated Sound Therapy (iT-MIST). The individually tailored sound therapy used narrowband noise centered on the ... -
Non-specific chronic low back pain elicits kinematic and neuromuscular changes in walking and gait termination
(Elsevier, 2020-12-14)Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is associated with an increased trunk stiffness and muscle coactivation duringwalking. However, it is still unclear whether CLBP individuals are unable to control ... -
Iron-Rich Magnetic Coal Fly Ash Particles Induce Apoptosis in Human Bronchial Cells
(MDPI, 2020-11-25)Svalbard is an arctic archipelago where coal mining generates all electricity via the local coal-fired power station. Coal combustion produces a waste product in the form of particulate matter (PM) coal fly ash (CFA), ... -
An examination of ‘explicitation techniques’ to enhance decision-making in Korfball: an Action Research study
(Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2020)This thesis develops the use of ‘explicitation techniques’ as a pedagogical tool for coaches to enhance players’ awareness and decisions. Recent research has highlighted a new appreciation for the use of phenomenological ... -
The Role of School Social Support and School Social Climate in Dating Violence Victimization Prevention among Adolescents in Europe
(MDPI, 2020-12-01)The aim of the article is to show the role of school social support and school social climate in dating violence victimization prevention among adolescents in Europe. Study participants were students from secondary schools ... -
Health and Wellbeing in Higher Education: A Comparison of Music and Sport Students Through the Framework of Self Determination Theory
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-28)Students in Higher Education report high levels of mental health issues and psychological distress. Paradoxical findings on performance-orientated students, such as athletes and musicians, suggest that the demands of ...
