Does fundamental movement skill proficiency vary by sex, class group or weight status? Evidence from an Irish primary school setting.
(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
(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 ...
Influence of reactive and maximum strength indicators on sprint performance.
(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 ...
HIIT enhances endurance performance and aerobic characteristics more than high-volume training in trained rowers.
(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: ...
Reactive strength index: a poor indicator of reactive strength?
(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 ...
