Standardization and methodological considerations for the isometric mid-thigh pull (2018)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Dos'Santos, T., Beckham, G., Stone, M., Guppy, S., & Haff, G. (2019). Standardization and methodological considerations for the isometric mid-thigh pull. Strength and Conditioning Journal, 41(2), 57-79. https://doi.org/10.1519/SSC.0000000000000433

The isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) is commonly used to assess an athlete’s force generation ability. This test is highly reliable and is simple and relatively quick to perform. The data that can be determined from the force-time curves generated by... Read More about Standardization and methodological considerations for the isometric mid-thigh pull.

It’s been life changing : perceived benefits of participation in the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme (2018)
Journal Article
Prior, F., Coffey, M., Robins, A., & Cook, P. (2018). It’s been life changing : perceived benefits of participation in the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 15(10), 223-223. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0535

Introduction: Exercise referral schemes (ERSs) aim to increase the physical activity levels and health outcomes of people with chronic health conditions. To date, the efficacy of ERSs has been inconclusive and largely based on quantitative evaluation...
