Does a high-intensity warm-up benefit 5-km running performance?
Presentation / Conference
Marsh, C., & Kilcourse, N. Does a high-intensity warm-up benefit 5-km running performance?. Poster presented at British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Conference 2014, St George's Park, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Research investigating the most effective warm-up intensity for subsequent running performance is somewhat varied. When compared to a low-intensity warm-up, Ingham et al. (2013, International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 8, 77–83) fo... Read More about Does a high-intensity warm-up benefit 5-km running performance?.

The effect of cleat position on cycling performance in competitive cyclists
Presentation / Conference
Marsh, C., & Harrison, N. The effect of cleat position on cycling performance in competitive cyclists. Poster presented at British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Conference 2013, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom

Optimising bicycle set-up is important with respect to cycling performance and includes variables such as seat height, seat tube angle, stem length and frame proportions. Another potential factor for consideration is foot position on the pedal. Wh... Read More about The effect of cleat position on cycling performance in competitive cyclists.

The effect of mouthguard use on ventilatory response to submaximal exercise
Presentation / Conference
Marsh, C., & Manders, J. The effect of mouthguard use on ventilatory response to submaximal exercise. Poster presented at British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Conference 2013, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom

Mouthguards are used in a number of sporting activities to help protect against dental damage. Despite the protective benefits of wearing a mouthguard, it is possible that their use may impair oral breathing during exercise, and some sports person...

Knee valgus angle during single leg squat and landing in patellofemoral pain patients and controls
Journal Article
Herrington, L. Knee valgus angle during single leg squat and landing in patellofemoral pain patients and controls. The Knee, 21(2), 514-517. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2013.11.011

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a commonly presenting disorder of the lower limb, frequently effecting young physically active individuals particularly females. The condition has been associated with poor control of limb alignment while unde...

Psychosocial conditions in a large public sector organisation during ‘austerity’ : what’s the real problem?
Presentation / Conference
Hudson, J. Psychosocial conditions in a large public sector organisation during ‘austerity’ : what’s the real problem?. Poster presented at British Psychological Society Conference, Liverpool

Objectives: Numerous psychosocial work stressors, such as excessive demands or insufficient manager support, have been linked with negative psychological health outcomes. However, if employers are to tackle stress-related issues, they need to know w...

Biomechanical evaluation of distance running during training and competition
Thesis
Bridgman, C. (in press). Biomechanical evaluation of distance running during training and competition. (Thesis). University of Salford

Middle-distance athletes are faced with a unique challenge to generate high running velocities (between 6.00 and 8.00 m∙s-1) while making movements as economical as possible (Williams & Cavanagh, 1987). Research suggests that 54% of the variation in... Read More about Biomechanical evaluation of distance running during training and competition.

The personal communities of older widowed men
Presentation / Conference
Collins, T. The personal communities of older widowed men. Poster presented at The International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics European Region Congress 2015, Dublin

Background: This paper reports on the personal communities of a group of older widowed men. Although the incidence of widowhood is still greater for older women than it is for older men, this ratio has decreased over recent years, due in part to the...

The impact of a school-based, nurse-delivered asthma health education programme on quality of life, knowledge and attitudes of Saudi children with asthma
Thesis
Alreshidi, N. The impact of a school-based, nurse-delivered asthma health education programme on quality of life, knowledge and attitudes of Saudi children with asthma. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background In Saudi Arabia, more than 2 million people complain of asthma: 13% being aged 6-10 years. This makes asthma one of the most common illnesses among children in Saudi Arabia. Little has been explored about children’s ability to learn more...

Kinematics and kinetics of maximal velocity sprinting and specificity of training in elite athletes
Thesis
Sides, D. Kinematics and kinetics of maximal velocity sprinting and specificity of training in elite athletes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Maximal velocity sprinting has been studied extensively from a biomechanical standpoint, however little is known of the biomechanics characteristics at sprint velocities that typify elite athletic performance, due to the difficulties in accessing suc...
