The relationship between balance performance, lumbar extension strength, trunk extension endurance, and pain in participants with chronic low back pain, and those without
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2018)Background: Chronic low back pain is associated with lumbar extensor deconditioning. This may contribute to decreased neuromuscular control and balance. However, balance is also influenced by the hip musculature. Thus, the ... -
An exploration of the perceived health, life skill and academic benefits of dinghy sailing for 9–13-year-old school children
(Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2018)Research evidence suggests that outdoor education offers significant potential in priming healthy physical activity behaviors, developing life skills, enhancing self-esteem and promoting improved academic performance. The ... -
Relationships between muscle electrical activity and the control of inter-vertebral motion during a forward bending task
(Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 2018)Muscle strengthening exercises are commonly used in primary care for the treatment of chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) as it has been theorised that increased muscle activity contributes to the stabilisation ... -
A comparison of isolated lumbar extension strength between healthy asymptomatic participants and chronic low back pain participants without previous lumbar spine surgery
(Spine, 2018)Study Design. Cross-sectional case-control study. Objective. To compare isolated lumbar extension strength between healthy asymptomatic participants and participants with chronic low back pain (CLBP), while controlling ... -
Aberrant intervertebral motion in patients with treatment-resistant nonspecific low back pain: a retrospective cohort study and control comparison
(European Spine Journal, 2018)Purpose: Intervertebral kinematic assessments have been used to investigate mechanical causes when back pain is resistant to treatment, and recent studies have identified intervertebral motion markers that discriminate ... -
Uneven intervertebral motion sharing is related to disc degeneration and is greater in patients with chronic, non-specific low back pain: an in vivo, cross-sectional cohort comparison of intervertebral dynamics using quantitative fluoroscopy
(European Spine Journal, 2018)Purpose: Evidence of intervertebral mechanical markers in chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is lacking. This research used dynamic fluoroscopic studies to compare intervertebral angular motion sharing inequality ... -
Improvement of oxygen-uptake kinetics and cycling performance with combined prior exercise and fast start
(International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2018)Purpose: To investigate whether oxygen-uptake (V˙ O2) kinetics and simulated 4-km cycling performance are synergistically improved by prior “priming” exercise and an all-out starting strategy. Methods: Nine men completed ... -
Leadership and capacity building in international chiropractic research: introducing the chiropractic academy for research leadership (CARL)
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2018)In an evidence-based health care environment, healthcare professions require a sustainable research culture to remain relevant. At present however, there is not a mature research culture across the chiropractic profession ... -
Human rights in end-of-life-care: Implementation and early evaluation of a Sue Ryder training programme
(European Journal of Palliative Care, 2018)A human rights approach to end-of-life care supports health and social care practitioners in making balanced, and often difficult, decisions with people at the end of life, in order to make personalised care a reality. The ... -
Does breastfeeding lower the risk for childhood obesity: what is the evidence?
(Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics, 2018)Background: Investigate the evidence to determine what the association is between exclusive breastfeeding and childhood obesity. Method: Systematic reviews, meta-analysis and cohort studies were used to determine the ... -
Manual therapy
(International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine, 2018)Manual therapy (MT) is a very common practice among primates and its range of uses and the variety of techniques is probably infinite. It has been professionalised for the treatment of a variety of conditions for at least ... -
Passive elastic contribution of hip extensors to joint moments during walking in people with low back pain
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2018)Background: It has been found that alterations in passive muscle properties may be associated with low back pain, and these may be responsible for the altered gait parameters often observed in subjects with back pain. The ... -

(The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2018)Krause, LM, Naughton, GA, Benson, AC, and Tibbert, S. Equity of physical characteristics between adolescent males and females participating in single- or mixed-sex sport. J Strength Cond Res 32(5): 1415–1421, 2018—Policies ... -
Clinicians' ability to detect a palpable difference in spinal stiffness compared with a mechanical device
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2019)Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the threshold at which clinicians can detect a difference in spinal stiffness of the thoracic and lumbar spine via palpation and then determine if this detection threshold ... -
The shape of chiropractic in Europe: A cross sectional survey of chiropractor's beliefs and practice
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2019)Background: The chiropractic profession both in the past and presently has diverse opinions concerning different health care approaches and the science or otherwise that underpins them. Previous research has reported that ... -
Training-monitoring engagement: An evidence-based approach in elite sport
(International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2019)Purpose: Poor athlete buy-in and adherence to training-monitoring systems (TMS) can be problematic in elite sport. This is a significant issue, as failure to record, interpret, and respond appropriately to negative changes ... -
