Meechan, D., McMahon, J. J., Suchomel, T. J., & Comfort, P. (in press). The Effect of Rest Redistribution on Kinetic and Kinematic Variables During the Countermovement Shrug. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 37(7), 1358-1366. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000004238

This study compared the effects of rest redistribution (RR) on kinetic and kinematic variables during the countermovement shrug (CMS). Twenty-one male subjects (age 27.2 ± 3.3. years, height 1.78 ± 0.07 m, body mass 77.2 ±10.6 kg, relative one repeti...

Force plate-derived countermovement jump normative data and benchmarks for professional Rugby League players (2022)
Journal Article
McMahon, J., Ripley, N., & Comfort, P. (2022). Force plate-derived countermovement jump normative data and benchmarks for professional Rugby League players. Sensors, 22(22), 8669. https://doi.org/10.3390/s22228669

The countermovement jump (CMJ) is an important test in rugby league (RL), and the force plate is the recommended assessment device, as it permits the calculation of several variables that explain jump strategy, alongside jump height. The purpose of t... Read More about Force plate-derived countermovement jump normative data and benchmarks for professional Rugby League players.

Comparing biomechanical time series data across countermovement shrug load (2022)
Journal Article
Meechan, D., McErlain-Naylor, S., McMahon, J., Suchomel, T., & Comfort, P. (2022). Comparing biomechanical time series data across countermovement shrug load. Journal of Sports Sciences, 40(15), 1658-1667. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2022.2091351

The effect of load on time series data has yet to be investigated during weightlifting derivatives. This study compared the effect of load on the force-time and velocity-time curves during the countermovement shrug (CMS). Twenty-nine males performed...

A biomechanical analysis of weightlifting pulling derivatives and their application to performance programming (2022)
Thesis
Meechan, D. A biomechanical analysis of weightlifting pulling derivatives and their application to performance programming. (Thesis). University of Salford

The aims of the studies within this thesis were to determine if kinetics and kinematics differences occur between weightlifting pulling derivatives across loads, and to provide greater context regarding biomechanical time series data across loads. Ad... Read More about A biomechanical analysis of weightlifting pulling derivatives and their application to performance programming.

Micro-dosing of resistance training in soccer players (2022)
Thesis
Cuthbert, M. Micro-dosing of resistance training in soccer players. (Thesis). University of Salford

Micro-dosing of resistance training is “the division of total volume within a micro-cycle, across frequent, short duration, repeated bouts” as defined within this thesis, and is a concept built on a foundation of well-established training approaches,...

Comparison between methods to estimate bicep femoris fascicle length from three estimation equations using a 10 cm ultrasound probe (2022)
Journal Article
Ripley, N., Comfort, P., & McMahon, J. (2022). Comparison between methods to estimate bicep femoris fascicle length from three estimation equations using a 10 cm ultrasound probe. Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 27(1), 43-50. https://doi.org/10.1080/1091367X.2022.2063689

The aim of the present study was to determine the reliability and differences between three fascicle length (FL) estimation methods when utilizing a 10-cm ultrasound (US) probe. Thirteen males (24.1 ± 3.8 years, 79.3 ± 14 kg, 179 ± 6.6 cm) participat...

The countermovement jump (CMJ) has been suggested to be an important test of neuromuscular performance for rugby league (RL) players. Identifying force platform-derived CMJ variables that may be more applicable to RL positions (e.g., forwards and bac...
