Region-specific tendon properties and patellar tendinopathy : a wider understanding (2014)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., & Hussain, S. (2014). Region-specific tendon properties and patellar tendinopathy : a wider understanding. Sports Medicine, 44(8), 1101-1112. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-014-0201-y

Patellar tendinopathy is a common painful musculoskeletal disorder with a very high prevalence in the athletic population that can severely limit or even end an athletic career. To date, the underlying pathophysiology leading to the condition remains... Read More about Region-specific tendon properties and patellar tendinopathy : a wider understanding.

Regional strain variations in the human patellar tendon (2014)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., Ritchings, R., & Mohamed, A. (2014). Regional strain variations in the human patellar tendon. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 46(7), 1343-1351. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0000000000000247

Purpose: Characteristics of localized tendon strain in vivo are largely unknown. The present study examines local tendon strain between the deep, middle, and surface structures at the proximal and distal aspects of the patellar tendon during ramped i...

Which methods best predict performance? (2014)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., & Pearson, S. (2014). Which methods best predict performance?. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 28(6), 1565-1572. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000000394

Athletes with a higher body mass (BM) tend to be stronger, with ratio scaling possibly eliminating this effect. The aim of this study was to compare relationships between sprint performances with scaled measures of strength and power. Fifteen profess... Read More about Which methods best predict performance?.

Lack of association between postactivation potentiation and subsequent jump performance (2014)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., & Hussain, S. (2014). Lack of association between postactivation potentiation and subsequent jump performance. European Journal of Sport Science, 14(5), 418-425. https://doi.org/10.1080/17461391.2013.837511

Postactivation potentiation (PAP) is a strategy that has been used to acutely enhance the performance of explosive activities. Although, isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) have previously been shown to enhance subsequent explosive perfor...

Fish oil supplementation, resting blood flow and markers of cellular metabolism during incremental exercise (2014)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., Johnson, T., & Robins, A. (2014). Fish oil supplementation, resting blood flow and markers of cellular metabolism during incremental exercise. International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research, 84(1-2), 18-26. https://doi.org/10.1024/0300-9831/a000189

Dietary supplementation of fish oils (n-3 PUFA) have been observed to affect insulin action and hence metabolism, affecting the ability to carry out work. Here we examine the effects of fish oil supplementation in conjunction with a glucose load duri...
