Does fundamental movement skill proficiency vary by sex, class group or weight status? Evidence from an Irish primary school setting.
Kelly, Lisa; O'Connor, Siobhán; Harrison, Andrew J.; Ní Chéilleachair, Níamh J. (Taylor & Francis, 2019)This study examined fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency among male (N=216) and female (N=198) Irish primary school pupils from Year 2 to Year 7 (9.0 ± 1.7 years). Following anthropometric measurements, participants ... -
Effects of an 8-week school-based intervention programme on Irish school children's fundamental movement skills
Kelly, Lisa; O'Connor, Siobhán; Harrison, Andrew J.; Ní Chéilleachair, Niamh J. (Taylor & Francis, 2020-10-22)Background: Irish school children have demonstrated poor proficiency in fundamental movement skills (FMS) and consistent with international literature, females and overweight children tend to be less skilled than males and ... -
HIIT enhances endurance performance and aerobic characteristics more than high-volume training in trained rowers.
Ní Chéilleachair, Niamh J.; Harrison, Andrew J.; Warrington, Giles D. (Taylor & Francis, 2017)This study compared the effects of long slow distance training (LSD) with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in rowers. Nineteen well-trained rowers performed three tests before and after an 8-week training intervention: ... -
Influence of reactive and maximum strength indicators on sprint performance.
Healy, Robin; Smyth, Carol; Kenny, Ian C.; Harrison, Andrew J. (Wolters Kluwer, 2018)The primary aim of this study was to assess the relationship between reactive and maximal strength measures with 40 m sprint performance and mechanical properties. Fourteen male and fourteen female sprinters participated ... -
Reactive strength index: a poor indicator of reactive strength?
Healy, Robin; Kenny, Ian C.; Harrison, Andrew J. (Human Kinetics, 2018-07)Purpose: The primary aim was to assess the relationships between reactive strength measures and associated kinematic and kinetic performance variables achieved during drop jumps. A secondary aim was to highlight issues ...
