Publication: Cognitive to physical performance: a conceptual model for the role of motor simulation in performance
Research Impact: Motor simulation interventions incorporating simulated practice through motor imagery (MI), action observation (AO), or motor imagery during action observation (AO+MI) are areas of significant research interest in cognitive and performance psychology. Existing models […]
Publication: Sprint start performance: the potential influence of triceps surae electromechanical delay
Research Impact: This study examined the delay in sprint start performance from mechanical delays of the soleus muscle and examined whether certain sprinters gain an advantage in sprint start response time. Nineteen national/international level sprinters […]
Publication: The relationship between isometric strength and sprint acceleration in sprinters – Claire Brady
Research Impact: The use of isometric strength testing, particularly the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), has increased rapidly in the past decade. The relationship between isometric measures of strength measured during the IMTP and isometric squat […]
Publication: The design, development, implementation and evaluation of IRISweb
Research Impact: Injury surveillance is routinely conducted in professional sports, however this is often more difficult to implement in amateur cohorts due to a lack of resources and medical staff availability. The Irish Rugby Injury Surveillance […]
Publication: INFLUENCE OF REACTIVE & MAXIMUM STRENGTH INDICATORS ON SPRINT PERFORMANCE
Research Impact: This paper assessed the role of maximum strength and reactive strength in sprint mechanical properties and performance. Fourteen male and female sprinters completed an isometric mid-thigh pull (maximum strength), hopping and drop jumps (reactive […]
Publication: Current injury monitoring and player education practices in Irish amateur rugby union
Research Impact: While the number of Rugby-related injuries is widely reported, the majority of successful injury monitoring systems are seen in the professional setting. In order to effectively monitor injuries in the amateur game, a comprehensive […]
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 […]
Publication: A force profile analysis comparison between functional data analysis, statistical parametric mapping and statistical non-parametric mapping in on-water single sculling
Abstract Objectives To examine whether the Functional Data Analysis (FDA), Statistical Parametric Mapping(SPM) and Statistical non-Parametric Mapping (SnPM) hypothesis testing techniques differ in their ability to draw inferences in the context of a single, simple experimental […]
