  • Minimum wear duration for the activPAL professional activity monitor in adolescent females 
    Dowd, Kieran P.; Purtill, Helen; Harrington, Deirdre M.; Hislop, Jane F.; Reilly, John J.; Donnelly, Alan Edward (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 ...
  • Motivation measures in sport: A critical review and bibliometric analysis 
    Clancy, Rachel B.; Herring, Matthew P.; Campbell, Mark J. (Frontiers Media, 2017)
    Motivation is widely-researched, in both sport psychology and other fields. As rigorous measurement is essential to understanding this latent construct, a critical appraisal of measurement instruments is needed. Thus, ...
  • Muscle activation sequencing of leg muscles during linear glide shot putting 
    Howard, Róisín Marie; Conway, Richard; Harrison, Andrew J. (Taylor and Francis, 2017)
    In the shot put, the athlete's muscles are responsible for generating the impulses to move the athlete and project the shot into the air. Information on phasic muscle activity is lacking for the glide shot put event and ...
  • Muscle activity in sprinting: a review 
    Howard, Róisín Marie; Conway, Richard; Harrison, Andrew J. (Taylor and Francis, 2018)
    The use of electromyography (EMG) is widely recognised as a valuable tool for enhancing the understanding of performance drivers and potential injury risk in sprinting. The timings of muscle activations relative to running ...
  • Muscular contraction frequency does not affect plasma homocysteine concentration in response to energy expenditure- and intensity-matched acute exercise in sedentary males 
    Úbeda, Natalia; Carson, Brian P.; García-González, Ángela; Aguilar-Ros, Antonio; Díaz-Martínez, Ángel Enrique; Venta, Rafael; Terrados, Nicolás; O'Gorman, Donal J.; Iglesias-Gutiérrez, Eduardo (NRC Research Press, 2018)
    Acute exercise seems to increase total plasma homocysteine (tHcy); since this variable associated with cardiovascular risk, it is important to understand the determinants of its response to all types of exercise. The aim ...
  • A novel protocol to measure short sprint performance 
    Healy, Robin; Norris, Michelle; Kenny, Ian C.; Harrison, Andrew J. (Elsevier, 2016)
    This study assessed the validity of a novel protocol in the measurement of 5 and 10 m sprint time from standing and block starts. Sprint time was assessed using high speed video timing and a novel method which incorporated ...
  • The relationship between reactive strength measures and sprinting performance 
    Healy, Robin; Smyth, Carol; Harrison, Andrew J. (International Society of Biomechanics in Sport, 2017)
    This study examined the relationships between reactive strength measures and sprint performance. Ten female sprinters performed bilateral vertical hops and drop jumps (DJs) from 0.3 m and 40 m sprints. Ground contact ...
  • Resistance training and exercise selection for sprint athletes: a survey of coaches views 
    Healy, Robin; Kenny, Ian C.; Harrison, Andrew J. (Physical Education and Sport Sciences, 2015)
    Introduction Although the use of resistance training in athletics is commonplace, a paucity of research exists examining the longitudinal effects of resistance training and its effect on performance in sprinters (Bolger ...
  • A review of competitive sport motivation research 
    Clancy, Rachel B.; Herring, Matthew P.; MacIntyre, Tadhg E.; Campbell, Mark J. (Elsevier, 2016)
    Objectives: The purpose of this review was to synthesise contemporary research on competitive sport motivation (1995e2016) with a view to identifying trends and gaps in sample characteristics, research designs and ...
  • Sleep and physical activity: a survey of people with inflammatory arthritis and their engagement by health professionals in rheumatology in Ireland 
    McKenna, Seán G.; Donnelly, Alan Edward; Fraser, Alexander D.; Kennedy, Norelee (Taylor and Francis, 2017)
    Purpose: Sleep is important in maintaining the body’s circadian rhythm and in maintaining health. Aim was to investigate sleep and physical activity among people who have Inflammatory Arthritis and their engagement with ...
  • A survey of sensor devices: use in sports biomechanics 
    Howard, Róisín Marie; Conway, Richard; Harrison, Andrew J. (Taylor and Francies, 2016)
    This paper examines the use of sensor devices in sports biomechanics, focusing on current frequency of use of Electromyography (EMG) device preferences. Researchers in the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports ...
  • The use of Independent component analysis on EMG data to explore cross-talk 
    Howard, Róisín Marie; Conway, Richard; Harrison, Andrew J. (International Society of Biomechanics, 2015)
    The purpose of this study was to explore the use of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on Electromyography (EMG) data to distinguish between individual muscle activations due to its capabilities of signal separation. ...
