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 ... -
Equity of physical characteristics between adolescent males and females participating in single-or mixed-sex sport
(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 ... -
Exercise to increase engagement of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in physical education: Method development
(Movement and Nutrition in Health and Disease, 2019)There is evidence that physical exercise has positive effects on the mental health of children. For those diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) moderate to high intensity exercise has been associated ... -
Why people living with and beyond cancer use the internet
(Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2019)People living with and beyond cancer suffer with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms. To manage the challenges associated with cancer, patients use a variety of self-management resources, including the ... -
Professional rugby coaches’ perceptions of the role of the team captain

PROMs data: can it be used to make decisions for individual patients? A narrative review
(Patient Related Outcome Measures, 2019)Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used in clinical practice providing health care professionals with patients’ perceptions and views of their health. They have traditionally been utilized in health ... -
Intrasubject repeatability of in vivo intervertebral motion parameters using quantitative fluoroscopy
(European Spine Journal, 2019)Purpose: In vivo quantification of intervertebral motion through imaging has progressed to a point where biomarkers for low back pain are emerging. This makes possible deeper study of the condition’s biometrics. However, ... -
An exercise program designed for children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder for use in school physical education: Feasibility and utility
(Healthcare, 2019)Moderate to high intensity exercise can improve cognitive function and behavior in children including those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, exercise with long periods of the same activity, ... -
Sport injury prevention in individuals with chronic ankle instability: Fascial Manipulation® versus control group: A randomized controlled trial
(Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2019)Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is one of the most common syndromes that occurs following an initial ankle sprain. Sprains are often correlated with recurrent sprains, loss of range of motion (ROM) and deficits in ... -
A case study of factors influencing performance in the practice environment
(Case Studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2019)Athletes’ practice environment can influence their competitive performance. The influencing performance factors present in practice are understudied, and the aim of this study was to explore these factors. Using a case-study ... -
Can biomechanics research lead to more effective treatment of low back pain? A point-counterpoint debate
(Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, 2019)Although biomechanics plays a role in the development and perhaps the persistent or recurrent nature of low back pain (LBP), whether biomechanics alone can provide the basis for intervention is debated. Biomechanics, which ... -
Comparison of intra subject repeatability of quantitative fluoroscopy and static radiography in the measurement of lumbar intervertebral flexion translation
(Scientific Reports, 2019)Low back pain patients are sometimes offered fusion surgery if intervertebral translation, measured from static, end of range radiographs exceeds 3 mm. However, it is essential to know the measurement error of such methods, ... -
Unpicking the emperor’s new clothes: perceived attributes of the captain in sports teams

An investigation into handedness and choking under pressure in sport
(Research quarterly for exercise and sport, 2019)When athletes fail to perform at an expected level during an important moment, it is implied the athletes have experienced “choking“ (sudden decline in performance) under pressure.”. Researchers have reported that persistent ... -
Isolated lumbar extension resistance training improves strength, pain, and disability, but not spinal height or shrinkage ("creep") in participants with chronic low back pain
(Cartilage, 2020)Objective. Loss of disc height is commonly associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Isolated lumbar extension (ILEX) exercise for the lumbar extensors is recommended to treat CLBP and is suggested such exercise might ...
