Play within the pre-registration children's nursing curriculum within the United Kingdom : a content analysis of programme specifications (2018)
Journal Article
Stonehouse, D., Piper, C., Briggs, M., & Brown, F. (2018). Play within the pre-registration children's nursing curriculum within the United Kingdom : a content analysis of programme specifications. Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 41, e33-e38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pedn.2018.01.013

Purpose: To determine the number of programme specifications which cite play within the curriculum and in what context. Play is an essential part of childhood. Therefore we might expect nurses caring for children to be trained in how to facilitate pl...

Asymmetries in isometric force-time characteristics are not detrimental to change of direction speed (2018)
Journal Article
Dos'Santos, T., Thomas, C., Jones, P., & Comfort, P. (2018). Asymmetries in isometric force-time characteristics are not detrimental to change of direction speed. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 32(2), 520-527. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000002327

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of between-limb asymmetries in isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) force-time characteristics on change of direction speed (CODS). Twenty multisport collegiate athletes (mean ± SD: age: 21.0 ± 1.9 year... Read More about Asymmetries in isometric force-time characteristics are not detrimental to change of direction speed.

Relationship Between Reactive Strength Index Variants in Rugby League Players (2018)
Journal Article
McMahon, J. J., Suchomel, T. J., Lake, J. P., & Comfort, P. (2023). Relationship Between Reactive Strength Index Variants in Rugby League Players. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 35(1), 280-285. https://doi.org/10.1519/jsc.0000000000002462

Two reactive strength index (RSI) variants exist, the RSI and RSI modified (RSImod) which are typically calculated during the drop jump (DJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ), respectively. Both RSI variants have been used to monitor athletes’ ability t... Read More about Relationship Between Reactive Strength Index Variants in Rugby League Players.

Organisational barriers to the facilitation of overseas volunteering and training placements in the NHS (2018)
