The effect of mountain bike wheel size on cross-country performance (2016)
Journal Article
Hurst, H., Atkins, S., Metcalfe, J., Rylands, L., & Sinclair, J. (2016). The effect of mountain bike wheel size on cross-country performance. Journal of Sports Sciences, 35(14), 1349-1354. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2016.1215498

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of different wheel size diameters on indicators of cross-country mountain bike time trial performance. Nine competitive male mountain bikers (age 34.7 ± 10.7 years; stature 177.7 ± 5.6 cm; body... Read More about The effect of mountain bike wheel size on cross-country performance.

Influence of wheel size on muscle activity and tri-axial accelerations during cross-country mountain biking (2016)
Journal Article
Hurst, H., Atkins, S., Metcalfe, J., Rylands, L., & Sinclair, J. (2016). Influence of wheel size on muscle activity and tri-axial accelerations during cross-country mountain biking. Journal of Sports Sciences, 35(14), 1342-1348. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2016.1215497

This study aimed to investigate the influence of different mountain bike wheel diameters on muscle activity and whether larger diameter wheels attenuate muscle vibrations during cross-country riding. Nine male competitive mountain bikers (age 34.7 ±... Read More about Influence of wheel size on muscle activity and tri-axial accelerations during cross-country mountain biking.

The lower body muscle activation of intermediate to experienced kayakers when navigating white water (2016)
Journal Article
Murtagh, M., Brooks, D., Sinclair, J., & Atkins, S. (2016). The lower body muscle activation of intermediate to experienced kayakers when navigating white water. European Journal of Sport Science, 16(8), 1130-1136. https://doi.org/10.1080/17461391.2016.1188993

In white-water kayaking, the legs play a vital part in turning, stabilising and bracing actions. To date, there has been no reported information on neuromuscular activation of the legs in an authentic white-water environment. The aim of the current...

Effects of footwear variations on three-dimensional kinematics and tibial accelerations of specific movements in American football (2016)
Journal Article
Sinclair, J., Rooney, E., Naemi, R., Atkins, S., & Chockalingam, N. (2016). Effects of footwear variations on three-dimensional kinematics and tibial accelerations of specific movements in American football. Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology, 17(2), https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219519417500269

American football is associated with a high rate of non-contact chronic injuries. Players are able to select from both high and low cut footwear. The aim of the current investigation was to examine the influence of high and low cut American footbal...

Sex differences in limb and joint stiffness in recreational runners (2016)
Journal Article
in recreational runners. Human Movement, 16(3), 137-141. https://doi.org/10.1515/humo-2015-0039

Purpose. Female runners are known to be at greater risk from chronic running injuries than age-matched males, although the exact mechanisms are often poorly understood. The aim of the current investigation was to determine if female recreational run... Read More about Sex differences in limb and joint stiffness in recreational runners.

Impact of harness attachment point on kinetics and kinematics during sled towing (2016)
Journal Article
Bentley, I., Atkins, S., Edmundson, C., Metcalfe, J., & Sinclair, J. (2016). Impact of harness attachment point on kinetics and kinematics during sled towing. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 30(3), 768-776. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000001155

Resisted sprint training is performed in a horizontal direction, and involves similar muscles, velocities and ranges of motion (ROM) to those of normal sprinting. Generally, sleds are attached to the athletes via a lead (3m) and harness; the most... Read More about Impact of harness attachment point on kinetics and kinematics during sled towing.
