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.

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.

Effects of front and back squat techniques on patellofemoral joint kinetics in males (2015)
Journal Article
patellofemoral joint kinetics in males. Journal of biomedical engineering and informatics, 2(1), 76-81. https://doi.org/10.5430/jbei.v2n1p76

Purpose: The barbell squat is fundamental in strength and conditioning, with two principal variants; the back and front

exami... Read More about Effects of front and back squat techniques on patellofemoral joint kinetics in males.

Effect of front and back squat techniques on peak loads experienced by the Achilles tendon (2015)
Journal Article

Background A primary technique in the discipline of strength and conditioning the squat has two principal
‘back and front’ variants. Despite the physiological and strength benefits of the squat,
the propensity for musculoskeletal injury is high. Th... Read More about Effect of front and back squat techniques on peak loads experienced by the Achilles tendon.
