A self-directed learning intervention for radiographers rating mammographic breast density (2017)
Journal Article
Ekpo, E., Wasike, E., Hogg, P., & McEntee, M. (2017). A self-directed learning intervention for radiographers rating mammographic breast density. Radiography, 23(4), 337-342. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2017.05.014

Purpose: Subjective methods of mammographic breast density (MBD) assessment are prone to inter-reader variability. This work aims to assess the impact of a short self-directed experiential learning intervention on radiographers’ reproducibility of MB...

Influence of reactive strength index modified on force- and power-time curves (2017)
Journal Article
McMahon, J., Jones, P., Suchomel, T., Lake, J., & Comfort, P. (2017). Influence of reactive strength index modified on force- and power-time curves. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 13(2), 220-227. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2017-0056

Purpose: The reactive strength index modified (RSImod) has been recently identified and validated as a method of monitoring countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. The kinetic and kinematic mechanisms that optimize a higher RSImod score are, however,... Read More about Influence of reactive strength index modified on force- and power-time curves.

The influence of dog ownership on objective measures of free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling older adults : a longitudinal case-controlled study (2017)
Journal Article
Dall, M., Ellis, L., Ellis, B., Grant, P., Coyler, A., Gee, N., …Mills, D. (2017). The influence of dog ownership on objective measures of free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling older adults : a longitudinal case-controlled study. BMC Public Health, 17, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-017-4422-5

Background: There is some evidence to suggest that dog ownership may improve physical activity (PA) among older adults, but to date, studies examining this, have either depended on self-report or incomplete datasets due to the type of activity moni...
