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.

Comparisons of countermovement jump and isokinetic performance in youth athletes: maturation and early sport specialization considerations (2022)
Thesis
Hofmann, C. Comparisons of countermovement jump and isokinetic performance in youth athletes: maturation and early sport specialization considerations. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis examines the impact of maturation status and single versus multiple sport participation on the physical performance of adolescent athletes across 6 studies. Study 1 investigated the test – retest reliability of isokinetic knee flexion and...

Modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injury : assessment, performance and training (2021)
Thesis
Ripley, N. Modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injury : assessment, performance and training. (Thesis). University of Salford

Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs), which are typically sustained during high velocity movements (i.e., sprinting or high velocity running), commonly involves the bicep femoris long head (BFLH). To date, the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) is the most... Read More about Modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injury : assessment, performance and training.
