Monitoring occupational sitting, standing, and stepping in office employees with the W@W-App and the MetaWearC Sensor: Validation Study.
(JMIR Publications, 2020-08)
Background: Replacing occupational sitting time with active tasks has several proposed health benefits for office employees.
Mobile phones and motion sensors can provide objective information in real time on occupational ...
Epidemiology of injury in male adolescent Gaelic games.
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
Objectives
There is a lack of epidemiological research in adolescent Gaelic games, with previous research primarily focusing on elite adult males. This study aimed to prospectively capture the epidemiology of injury in ...
Profiling elite male 100-m sprint performance: the role of maximum velocity and relative acceleration
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the accuracy of a 4 split time modelling method to generate velocity-time and velocity-distance variables
in elite male 100-m sprinters and subsequently to assess the roles of key ...
Post-exercise cold water immersion does not improve subsequent 4-km cycling time-trial compared with passive and active recovery in normothermia.
(Frontiers Media, 2021-10-25)
Background: We investigated whether a brief cold water immersion between two
cycling time trials (TT) improves the performance of the latter compared with passive
and active recovery in normothermic conditions ...
Countermovement jump characteristics of world-class elite and sub-elite male sprinters.
(SPSR, 2020-06-23)
World-class 100m sprinters need a combination of exceptional acceleration, maximum-velocity and speed endurance; each of which are dictated by their own complex
interplay of physiological and biomechanical factors [1]. ...
Can directed compliant running reduce the magnitude variables associated with the development of running injuries?
(Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins, 2020-02-13)
Running is one of the most popular modes of activity worldwide and provides numerous health benefits. However, impact forces associated with the foot contacting the ground have been implicated in the development of running ...
activPAL™ determined sedentary behaviour, physical activity and academic achievement in college students.
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03)
The aim of this study was to examine relationships between activPALTM-determined sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) with academic achievement. A total of 120 undergraduates (N=57 female; 20.6 ± 2.3 years) ...
Simultaneous validation of five activity monitors for use in adult populations.
(Wiley, 2017-12)
Numerous cut-points
exist to measure physical activity by accelerometry. The ability to
compare accelerometer findings from different devices from different locations may be
advantageous to researchers. This study aimed ...
Fear-avoidance following musculoskeletal injury in male adolescent Gaelic footballers.
(Human Kinetics, 2019-03)
CONTEXT:
Gaelic football participation provides a wealth of benefits but a risk of musculoskeletal injury also exists. Injury is associated with physical consequences, including pain, discomfort, loss of function, time ...
Minimum wear duration for the activPAL™ Professional Activity Monitor in Adolescent Females.
(Human Kinetics, 2017)
Objectives: This study aims to determine the minimum number of days of monitoring required to reliably predict sitting/lying time, standing time, light intensity physical activity (LIPA), moderate-to-vigorous intensity ...
