Duncan, M., Elwell, S. & Lyons, M. (2022) Functional Screening. In: Davison, R., Smith, P.M., Hopker, J., Price, M.J., Hettinga, F., Tew, G. & Bottoms, L. (Eds) Sport and Exercise Physiology Testing Guidelines: Volume II […]
Research Impact: In this paper we suggest that professional development providers need to be aware of the multiple elements of a teacher assemblage and to understand the complexity of teacher learning when deciding where to […]
Research Impact: Expectations for psychological responses to exercise may influence anxiety responses to exercise, particularly as mechanisms of placebo/nocebo effects, but remain poorly studied. Thus, we explored the interplay between expectations and physical activity among […]
