Publication: On the necessity for biomechanics research in esports
Research Impact: Throughout this paper, we showed that esports clearly involve human kinetics and kinematics, lending it to the study of motor expertise through the lens of biomechanics research. Biomechanics in esports can be conducted […]
What are the wires on rowing boat riggers? The growing trend of telemetry systems in rowing – Dr. Frank nugent.
You may have noticed the wires taped on to the boat riggers of clubs like Cambridge or Oxford Brookes during training videos this season or strange looking oarlocks as you walk around the boat yard […]

Publication: Reliability of biomechanical variables produced during the isometric midthigh pull and isometric squat – A Review
Research Impact: Lower limb multi joint isometric testing has become increasingly popular in the past ten years. The isometric mid-thigh pull and isometric squat are two tests used in performance monitoring to test different strength qualities […]
Publication: Force coordination strategies in on-water single sculling
ABSTRACT: Asymmetries of the rowing stroke cycle have been assessed with reference to kinematics and foot‐force measures in laboratory testing environments. It remains unclear how asymmetries in propulsive kinetic measures are related to on‐water rowing […]
