Contribution of eccentric strength to cutting performance in female soccer players (2019)
Journal Article
Jones, P., Dos'Santos, T., McMahon, J., & Graham-Smith, P. (2019). Contribution of eccentric strength to cutting performance in female soccer players. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000003433

The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of eccentric strength to performance of a 70-90° cutting task (CUT) (time to complete: 5 m approach, 70-90° cut, 3 m exit). Nineteen female soccer players (mean ± SD age, height and mass; 21.6 ± 4... Read More about Contribution of eccentric strength to cutting performance in female soccer players.

Comparison of countermovement jump–derived reactive strength index modified and underpinning force-time variables between super league and championship rugby league players (2019)
Journal Article
McMahon, J., Jones, P., & Comfort, P. (2019). Comparison of countermovement jump–derived reactive strength index modified and underpinning force-time variables between super league and championship rugby league players. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000003380

The countermovement jump (CMJ) is regularly tested in rugby league (RL), with recent work reporting reactive strength index modified (RSImod) to distinguish between levels of play. Differences in CMJ-derived RSImod and underpinning force-time variabl...

Normalization of early isometric force production as a percentage of peak force during multijoint isometric assessment (2019)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., Dos’Santos, T., Jones, P., McMahon, J., Suchomel, T., Bazyler, C., & Stone, M. (2020). Normalization of early isometric force production as a percentage of peak force during multijoint isometric assessment. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 15(4), 478-482. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2019-0217

Purpose: To determine the reliability of early force production (50-, 100-, 150-, 200-, 250 ms) relative to peak force (PF) during an isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and assess the relationships between these variables. Methods: Male collegiate athle... Read More about Normalization of early isometric force production as a percentage of peak force during multijoint isometric assessment.

The effect of load placement on the power production characteristics of three lower extremity jumping exercises (2019)
Journal Article
Suchomel, T. J., McKeever, S. M., Sijuwade, O., Carpenter, L., McMahon, J., Loturco, I., & Comfort, P. (2019). The effect of load placement on the power production characteristics of three lower extremity jumping exercises. Journal of Human Kinetics, 68(1), 109-122. https://doi.org/10.2478/hukin-2019-0060

The purpose of this study was to compare the power production characteristics of the jump squat (JS), hexagonal barbell jump (HEXJ), and jump shrug (JShrug) across a spectrum of relative loads. Fifteen resistance-trained men completed three testing s... Read More about The effect of load placement on the power production characteristics of three lower extremity jumping exercises.

Journal Article
Lake, J., Augustus, S., Austin, K., Comfort, P., McMahon, J., Mundy, P., & Haff, G. (2019). The reliability and validity of the bar-mounted PUSH BandTM 2.0 during bench press with moderate and heavy loads. Journal of Sports Sciences, 37(23), 2685-2690. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2019.1656703

The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the bar-mounted PUSH BandTM 2.0 to determine peak and mean velocity during the bench press exercise with a moderate (60% one repetition maximum [1RM]) and heavy (90% 1RM) load. We di... Read More about The reliability and validity of the bar-mounted PUSH BandTM 2.0 during bench press with moderate and heavy loads.
