The immediate and sustained effects of mobilisations with movement on the hip range of motion and power and shoulder range of motion and strength
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Introduction. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a mobilisation with movement (MWM) and self-applied mobilisation with movement (SMWM) treatment on hip extension ROM (°), jump height (cm) and power ... -
Investigating the impact of soil tillage and crop rotation on the bacterial microbiome associated with winter oilseed rape under Irish agronomic conditions
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Modern agriculture is challenged with sustaining a high quality food flow to an increasing global population. Therefore, the agriculture intensification is largely achieved through the use of farm equipment, intensive soil ... -
An investigation into the acute effects of utilising a live strength feedback system to ensure equal bilateral force distribution when performing the Nordic hamstring exercise, a randomised control trial
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are prevalent in sports that involve sprinting such as soccer, rugby, and athletics (Sconce et al., 2015). HSIs are reported to account for between 12% & 16% of all injuries sustained by ... -
An investigation on the interactions between entomopathogenic nematodes and plant growth promoting bacteria
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Increasing demands on global food production have resulted in the overuse of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, leading to an increase in environmental pollution and pest resistance. Traditional fertiliser applications ... -
Man on the move: an investigation of a ‘real world’ community – based physical activity programme for adult men
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)Background: The burden of ill-health and mortality experienced by men across the developed world has prompted calls for more gender-sensitised, health interventions that appeal to men. Using physical activity as a ... -
Microbial bioremediation and physiochemical treatment of landfill leachate
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)Landfill leachate (LFL) is an environmentally hazardous waste characterised by elevated levels of organic and inorganic compounds. LFL is produced when water percolates through a landfill picking up the by-products of waste ... -
Nutrient reduction capacity of a novel bioswale system for the reduction of nutrients from farmyard dirty water
(Institute of Technology, Carlow, 2021)The protection of clean water is of paramount importance to both humans and the aquatic environment. The aquatic environment in Ireland is subjected to impacts from many different human activities and pressures. Pollution ... -
Ocular metrics in concussion: An analytical prospective cohort study to establish normative ocular metrics in a healthy sporting population
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Introduction: Concussion diagnosis is a clinical challenge for healthcare providers. Identification of concussion is presently aided by tools such as the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT3); such tools remain largely ... -
Optochemical detection strategies for heavy metals in water
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2020-11)Groundwater contamination by toxic heavy metals is a serious global issue, therefore, there is an increasing demand for fast, portable and reliable on site monitoring methods for heavy metals in water. Conventional laboratory ... -
A study to evaluate the effects of a neuromuscular injury prevention programme (GAA15) in adolescent males participating in hurling
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)Introduction: Adolescent involvement in organised sport has never been more popular in Ireland, however, this increased level of activity has reportedly caused concern regarding the potential risk and severity of sporting ... -
Training load monitoring in rugby union
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)The aim of this study was to examine the different measures of training load monitoring used in rugby union and their correlation with each other. The present study also aimed to determine whether individual or arbitrary ...
