'It's a big deal being given a person' : why people who experience infertility may choose not to adopt (2017)
Journal Article
Smeeton, J., & Ward, J. (2017). 'It's a big deal being given a person' : why people who experience infertility may choose not to adopt. Adoption & fostering, 41(3), 215-227. https://doi.org/10.1177/0308575917705819

This article explores why individuals and couples who experience infertility and undergo treatment through new technologies do not subsequently go on to become parents via adoption. It does this in three ways: a review of the literature; interviews... Read More about 'It's a big deal being given a person' : why people who experience infertility may choose not to adopt.

The effect of hip joint angle on isometric midthigh pull kinetics (2017)
Journal Article
Dos'Santos, T., Thomas, C., Jones, P., McMahon, J., & Comfort, P. (2017). The effect of hip joint angle on isometric midthigh pull kinetics. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 31(10), 2748-2757. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000002098

The aim of this study were to compare isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) peak force (PF), time-specific force values (100-, 150-, and 200 ms), rate of force development (RFD) at predetermined time bands (0–100, 0–150, and 0–200 ms) and net forces between...
