Pearson, S., Highlands, B., Jones, R., & Matthews, M. (2021). Comparisons of core temperature between a telemetric pill and heart rate estimated core temperature in firefighters. Safety and Health at Work, 13(1), 99-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.shaw.2021.11.003

Background:
Firefighters may experience high environmental temperatures or carry out intensive physical tasks, or both, which leads to increased core body temperature and risk of fatalities. Hence there is a need to remotely and non-invasively monit... Read More about Comparisons of core temperature between a telemetric pill and heart rate estimated core temperature in firefighters.

Reliability of human achilles tendon stiffness measures using freehand 3-D ultrasound (2021)
Journal Article
Merza, E., Pearson, S., Lichtwark, G., Garofolini, A., & Malliaras, P. (2021). Reliability of human achilles tendon stiffness measures using freehand 3-D ultrasound. Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 47(4), 973-981. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2021.01.002

Achilles tendon (AT) stiffness is an important property of both human locomotor performance and injury mechanics. Freehand 3-D ultrasound (3-DUS) is a promising method for measuring stiffness of the Achilles tendon, particularly the free AT (2–6 cm p...

Immediate and long-term effects of mechanical loading on Achilles tendon volume : a systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Merza, E., Pearson, S., Lichtwark, G., Ollason, M., & Malliaras, P. (2021). Immediate and long-term effects of mechanical loading on Achilles tendon volume : a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Biomechanics, 118, 110289. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110289

The Achilles tendon (AT) may experience changes in dimensions related to fluid flow under load. The extent to which fluid flow involves redistribution within or flow out of the tendon is not known and could be determined by investigating volume chang...
