  • Anterior knee pain in competitive cyclists
    Kennedy, Thomas; Rowan, Fiachra; Condon, Finbarr; Kenny, Ian; Anderson, Ross; Dunne, Colum (Springer, 2012)
  • Authors’ response to “Comments on ‘Influence of shaft length on golf driving performance'“
    Kenny, Ian; Wallace, Eric S.; Otto, Steve R. (Taylor & Francis, 2009)
  • Behind the science of golf
    Kenny, Ian (Irish Independent, 2012)
    Few sports require such a range of equipment as does the game of golf. There are different types of golf clubs, such as drivers and irons, and balls to suit different occasions and conditions – and all are constantly being ...
  • Biomechanical and modelling analysis of shaft length effects on golf driving performance
    Kenny, Ian (University of Ulster, 2006)
    The purpose of this thesis was to determine how shaft length affects golf driving performance. Shaft length effects on the golf swing have been of interest to several researchers (including Egret et al., 2003; Reyes and ...
  • Biomechanical characterisation of leg movement during the golf swing following knee surgery
    Kenny, Ian; Madden, Darragh; Downey, Jennifer; Murray, Paraic; Campbell, Jane; Breen, Sarah (University of Ulster, 2012)
    INTRODUCTION The forces transmitted through the knee throughout the golf swing have been found to be as high as those associated with running (Colwell et al., 2005) therefore playing golf with a knee that has undergone ...
  • Comparison of swing patterns for high and low handicap golfers
    Byrne, Derek; Kenny, Ian (ISBS, 2008)
    INTRODUCTION: The widespread growth of golf is mainly due to its accessibility to people of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds and skill levels (Hume et al., 2005). To correspond with this increased participation, research ...
  • Creation of theoretical data sets to examine movement variability using modelling
    Anderson, Ross; Kenny, Ian; Tucker, Catherine; O'Halloran, Joseph (2010)
    INTRODUCTION: Recently, a large amount of research has been focused on the effect of movement variability on human performance in sport. It is now generally accepted that specific amounts of variability are essential to ...
  • Determinants of success in the Olympic decathlon: some statistical evidence
    Kenny, Ian; Sprevak, Dan; Sharp, Craig; Boreham, Colin (De Gruyter, 2005)
    In a recent communication, Van Damme et al (1) presented a statistical analysis of the performance of world-ranked decathletes, and made inferences about the ability of these athletes to respond uniformly to the demands ...
  • Development of a large-scale golfer computer model to study swing kinematics
    Tucker, Catherine; Kenny, Ian; Anderson, Ross (Elsevier, 2010)
    Despite an increase in the number of full-body three-dimensional computer models of the golf swing reported in the literature, many authors do not report in detail how the models are validated. Therefore, the aim of this ...
  • The development of a new protocol to assess performance measure in sports
    Norris, Michelle; Breen, Sarah; Anderson, Ross; Kenny, Ian (2012)
    The purpose of this study was to develop a novel protocol to be used in assessing performance outcomes in projectile sports. This study also wanted to establish if variability within a movement pattern (throwing) is ...
  • Driving performance variability among elite golfers
    Kenny, Ian; Wallace, Eric S.; Otto, Steve R. (Springer, 2008)
    In recent years studies have been carried out on single subjects, for example by Kinugasa et al., 2004. It has been reported that it is unlikely any two golfers will have an identical swing, and even that an individual ...
  • The effect of body markers on golf driving performance
    Kenny, Ian; Anderson, Ross (2010)
    INTRODUCTION: No study to date has reported if and how the use of body markers used in three dimensional optical tracking methods to study swing kinematics in golf affect movement performance. Egret et al. (2004) studied ...
  • The effect of varying club head mass on velocity and kinetic energy
    Tucker, Catherine; Kenny, Ian; Byrne, Derek; Anderson, Ross (Original Writing Ltd., 2009)
    INTRODUCTION: Typically, the standard club head mass of a driver is 0.2 kg approximately (White 2006). The golfing governing bodies do not stipulate driver club head mass. Theoretically, an increase in club head mass will ...
  • An examination of putting movement and performance variability using standard, belly and long-handled putters
    Sherwin, Ian; Kenny, Ian (British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, 2013)
    In golf, play on the green has a large impact on the final score (Pelz 2000, Dave Pelz’s Putting Bible) and a great amount of time is spent on practice greens to perfect the putting technique. There has been significant ...
  • Golf science
    Wallace, Eric S.; Kingston, Kieran; Strangwood, Martin; Kenny, Ian (Shaker Publishing Maastricht, 2008)
    This chapter aims to provide an overview of some of the key issues and developments in golf science over the last few years - essentially by reviewing some papers leading up to the last World Scientific Congress of Golf ...
  • Hip rotation range of motion and its impact on lower limb alignment on landing
    Breen, Sarah; Harrison, Andrew J.; Kenny, Ian (2010)
    The purpose of the present study was to compare lower limb alignment at initial ground contact between groups with normal and abnormal hip rotation range of motion. Male (n=8) and female (n=8) subjects performed an maximal ...
  • Influence of ankle taping on jump performance
    Kenny, Ian; Jeyram, Selva Prakash (Original Writing Ltd., 2009)
    INTRODUCTION: The present study aimed to investigate the influence of prophylactic ankle taping on jump performance, in the push off and the landing phase, for healthy subjects, for three types of jump. Ankle sprains ...
  • Influence of shaft length on golf driving performance
    Kenny, Ian; Wallace, Eric S.; Otto, Steve R. (Routledge, 2008)
    The aim of this study was to determine how shaft length affects golf driving performance. A range of drivers with lengths between 1.168m and 1.270 m, representing lengths close to the 1.219m limit imposed by R&A Rules ...
  • Influence on ankle taping on dynamic balance performance
    Kenny, Ian; Wu, Can; McEvoy, Johnson (ISBS, 2011)
    This research aimed to investigate the effect of ankle taping on dynamic balance performance. Eighteen recreational athletes without any previous ankle sprain history performed six star excursion balance tests on each ...
  • Joint kinematics of landing in ACL rehabilitated volunteers
    Breen, Sarah; Harrison, Andrew J.; Kenny, Ian (ISBS, 2011)
    The purpose of the present study was to compare the variability of movement and force production in ACL rehabilitated volunteers during landing from a maximal drop jump. Male (n=6) and female (n=7) volunteers with previous ...
