Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions (2014)
Journal Article
Herrington, L., Waterman, R., & Smith, L. (2015). Electromyographic analysis of shoulder muscles during press-up variations and progressions. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 25(1), 100-106. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2014.10.002

Due to the versatility of the press-up it is a popular upper extremity strengthening and rehabilitation exercise. Press-up programmes are often progressed by increasing weight-bearing load and using unstable bases of support. Despite the popularity...

The reliability of biomechanical variables collected during single leg squat and landing tasks (2014)
Journal Article
Alenezi, F., Herrington, L., Jones, P., & Jones, R. (2014). The reliability of biomechanical variables collected during single leg squat and landing tasks. Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 24(5), 718-721. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelekin.2014.07.007

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the within- and between-day reliability of lower limb biomechanical variables collected during single leg squat (SLS) and single leg landing (SLL) tasks. Methods: 15 recreational athletes took... Read More about The reliability of biomechanical variables collected during single leg squat and landing tasks.

Is there a relationship between landing and changing direction in terms of ‘dynamic valgus’? (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, P., Herrington, L., Munro, A., & Graham-Smith, P. (2014). Is there a relationship between landing and changing direction in terms of ‘dynamic valgus’?. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 42(9), 2095-2102. https://doi.org/10.1177/0363546514539446

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a major problem amongst female athletes. Screening for ACL injury risk tends to focus on landing tasks, which may be limited in sports where changing direction is the main action involved in n...

The effect of videotape augmented feedback on drop jump landing strategy : implications for anterior cruciate ligament and patellofemoral joint injury prevention (2014)
Journal Article
Munro, A., & Herrington, L. (2014). The effect of videotape augmented feedback on drop jump landing strategy : implications for anterior cruciate ligament and patellofemoral joint injury prevention. ˜The œKnee (Amsterdam. Online), 21(5), 891-895. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2014.05.011

Background: Modification of high-risk movement strategies such as dynamic knee valgus is key to the reduction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and patellofemoral joint (PFJ) injuries. Augmented feedback, which includes video and verbal feedback, c...

The relationship between 2d knee valgus angle during single leg squat (sls), single leg landing (sll), and forward running (2014)
Journal Article
Atkin, K., Herrington, L., Alenezi, F., Jones, P., & Jones, R. (2014). The relationship between 2d knee valgus angle during single leg squat (sls), single leg landing (sll), and forward running. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 48(7), 563-563. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2014-093494.10

BACKGROUND: Two-dimensional (2D) analysis of knee valgus during common athletic screening tasks such as SLS has been purported to identify individuals who may be at a high-risk of ACL injury. There is limited literature exploring the relationships be...
