Normalization of rapid force to peak force in an isometric hamstring assessment using force plates (2024)
Journal Article
Barber, R., Fahey, J., Comfort, P., & Ripley, N. (2024). Normalization of rapid force to peak force in an isometric hamstring assessment using force plates. Apunts Sports Medicine, 59(223), 100450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apunsm.2024.100450

Purpose The aim of this investigation was to determine the reliability of normalizing rapid force (RF) production to peak force assessed during an isometric knee flexor assessment, and to present a novel method of c...

Early Versus Late Rapid Force Production During Single Joint Isometric Hamstring Assessment Using Force Plates (2024)
Journal Article
Ripley, N., Barber, R., Fahey, J., & Comfort, P. (in press). Early Versus Late Rapid Force Production During Single Joint Isometric Hamstring Assessment Using Force Plates. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research,

The aim of this study was to assess differences in time-matched early versus late rapid force (RF) development in female soccer players in the 90-90 isometric hamstring assessment. Twenty-one elite female soccer players (age: 20.7 ± 4.7 years; height...

Effect of Sampling Frequency on a Unilateral Isometric Hamstring Strength Assessment Using Force Plates (2024)
Journal Article
Ripley, N., McMahon, J., & Comfort, P. (2024). Effect of Sampling Frequency on a Unilateral Isometric Hamstring Strength Assessment Using Force Plates. #Journal not on list, https://doi.org/10.1007/s42978-024-00277-w

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sampling frequency on the 90-90 (90-degrees hip and knee flexion) isometric hamstring assessment. Thirty-three elite female soccer players (age: 18.7 ± 3.7 years; height: 158.3 ± 5.9 cm; body m...

Relative strength explains the differences in multi-joint rapid force production between sexes (2024)
Journal Article
Comfort, P., McMahon, J. J., Lake, J. P., Ripley, N. J., Triplett, N. T., & Haff, G. G. (in press). Relative strength explains the differences in multi-joint rapid force production between sexes. PloS one, 19(2), e0296877. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0296877

The primary aim of this study was to determine whether relative strength explains the differences in the rapid force production (force developed during first 150-, 200-, and 250 ms) of females and males, and to evaluate the relationships between peak...

Lacrosse: Match Demands, Physical Performance, and Injury Surveillance a Scoping Review (2024)
Journal Article
Ripley, N., Wenham, T., & Collier, M. (2024). Lacrosse: Match Demands, Physical Performance, and Injury Surveillance a Scoping Review. #Journal not on list, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12662-023-00937-z

Background Lacrosse has seen an uptake in participation in the last two decades. Moreover, with small-sided variants (box lacrosse (BL) and sixes lacrosse (SL)), with the latter being considered by the international Olympic committee. However, for at...
