Biomechanical evolution of the Tkachev on uneven bars in female gymnastics
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-11-28)The development of joint kinematics and kinetics is fundamental to the successful performance of complex flight skills in gymnastics bar routines. Biomechanical understanding of these skills can provide coaches and ... -
Factors associated with low fitness in adolescents – A mixed methods study
(BMC, 2014-07-29)Background: Fitness and physical activity are important for cardiovascular and mental health but activity and fitness levels are declining especially in adolescents and among girls. This study examines clustering of factors ... -
Changes in Sagittal Plane Kinematics With Treadmill Familiarization to Barefoot Running
(Human Kinetics, 2014-01-12)Interest in barefoot running and research on barefoot running are growing. However a methodological issue surrounding investigations is how familiar the participants are with running barefoot. The aim of the study was to ... -
Medical and Ethical Concerns Regarding Women With Hyperandrogenism and Elite Sport
(Oxford University Press, 2015-03-01)No abstract. -
Peripheral chemoreflex inhibition with low-dose dopamine: New insight into mechanisms of extreme apnea
(American Physiological Association, 2015-11-01)The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of peripheral chemoreflex inhibition with low-dose dopamine on maximal apnea time, and the related hemodynamic and cerebrovascular responses in elite apnea divers. In ... -
Electrocardiogram reference intervals for clinically normal wild-born chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
(American Veterinary Medical Association, 2015-08)OBJECTIVE To generate reference intervals for ECG variables in clinically normal chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). ANIMALS 100 clinically normal (51 young [< 10 years old] and 49 adult [≥ 10 years old]) wild-born ... -
Superior cardiac mechanics without structural adaptations in pre-adolescent soccer players
(Sage, 2019)Aims: This study aimed to evaluate left ventricular (LV) structure, function and mechanics, in highly-trained, pre-adolescent soccer players (SP) compared to age- and sex-matched controls (CON). Design: The study ... -
An in-depth appraisal of career termination experiences in professional cricket
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-01-02)This qualitative study explored the career termination experiences of 9 male, retired professional cricketers between the ages of 28 and 40 (mean value 34, s = 4.65 m). The participants took part in retrospective, ... -
Influence of resisted sled-push training on the sprint force-velocity profile of male high school athletes
(Wiley, 2019-11-19)Sled pushing is a commonly used form of resisted sprint training, however little empirical evidence exists, especially in youth populations. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of unresisted and resisted ... -

(Taylor and Francis, 2019-10-04)This article explores coaching in boxe popolare (people's boxing) – a style of boxing codified by leftist grassroots groups in contemporary Italy. The paper presents a micro-sociological analysis of data collected during ... -
Humans Optimize Ground Contact Time and Leg Stiffness to Minimize the Metabolic Cost of Running
(Frontiers Media, 2019-11-04)Trained endurance runners appear to fine-tune running mechanics to minimize metabolic cost. Referred to as self-optimization, the support for this concept has primarily been collated from only a few gait (e.g., stride ... -
‘Once a Local Surfer, Always a Local Surfer’: Local Surfing Careers in a Southwest English Village
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-11-25)This article reports on findings from an ethnographic study (2008–09) conducted in a village with a significant population of local surfers in Cornwall (Southwest England). Stimulated by Goffman's (1961) interpretation of ... -
Barriers to Delivering Extracurricular School Sport and Physical Activity in Wales: A Qualitative Study of 5x60 Officers’ Views and Perspectives
(Human Kinetics, 2015)Background: In light of recent reports, schools must be realistic in that physical activity recommendations cannot be met through curriculum PE alone. However, extracurricular PE and school sport has the potential to ... -
Effect of different hand positions on elbow loading during the round off in male gymnastics: A case study
(University of Ljubljana, 2015-06-01)Elbow lesions are a potential reason for ending a gymnastics career, and presents a real concern for coaches, scientist and clinicians. Previous research has focused on female gymnastics and as such the aim of the current ... -
Short-term adaptation and chronic cardiac remodelling to high altitude in lowlander natives and Himalayan Sherpa
(Wiley, 2014-10-18)New Findings - What is the topic of this review? At high altitude, the cardiovascular system must adapt in order to meet the metabolic demand for oxygen. This review summarizes recent findings relating to short‐term and ... -
Intrinsic ventricular function does not explain reduced stroke volume at rest and during exercise at high altitude
(Japanese Society of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2015-01-25)Introduction: Both impaired systolic dysfunction and myocardial relaxation have previously been advanced as possible mechanisms contributing to decreased stroke volume (SV) at high altitude (HA). To determine whether ... -
‘Women can’t referee’: exploring the experiences of female football officials within UK football culture
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-02-06)The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of female (association) football officials who officiate in amateur men’s and boys’ football matches in two UK counties (Warwickshire and Somerset). The research ... -
