Menstrual cycle variations in oestradiol and progesterone have no impact on in vivo medial gastrocnemius tendon mechanical properties (2009)
Journal Article
Burgess, K., Pearson, S., & Onambélé, G. (2009). Menstrual cycle variations in oestradiol and progesterone have no impact on in vivo medial gastrocnemius tendon mechanical properties. Clinical Biomechanics, 24(6), 504-509. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2009.03.011

Background: Tendon tissue contains oestrogen receptors and is therefore likely to be responsive to female sex hormones. Here we examine any effect of levels of female sex hormones associated with the menstrual cycle phase on corresponding tendon mech...

Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 48(6), 662-670. https://doi.org/10.1097/chi.0b013e3181aoacec

Objective To replicate a study, which found group therapy superior to routine care in preventing the recurrence of self-harming behavior in adolescents who had deliberately harmed themselves on at least two occasions. Method Single blind study wit... Read More about Group Therapy for Repeated Deliberate Self-Harm in Adolescents: Failure of Replication of a Randomized Trial.

Hydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming (2009)
Journal Article
Naemi, R., J Easson, W., & H Sanders, R. (2010). Hydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 13(4), 444-451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2009.04.009

The glide is a major part of starts, turns and the stroke cycle in breaststroke. Glide performance, indicated by the average velocity, can be improved by increasing the glide efficiency, that is, the ability of the body to minimise deceleration. This...
