Research Impact: An imbalance between hamstring and quadriceps function can predispose an athlete to injury, therefore, it is important to understand functional ratios between hamstrings/quadriceps (H/QFUNCT) at different joint angles, angular velocities and how this […]
My research is investigating markers of fatigue and recovery in elite team sport. As part of this research, I have worked with the Munster Rugby Academy and currently I am working with Limerick FC, collecting […]
Research Impact: Physical activity (PA) can improve sleep quality and fatigue, but the potential moderating effect of sleep quality on associations between PA and feelings of fatigue among adolescents is unknown. This study showed that sleep […]
Research Impact: Mild-to-moderate depression is often accompanied by low energy and fatigue. Acute exercise improves energy and fatigue, but less is known regarding environmental influences on exercise response. Feelings of energy and fatigue were measured before […]
Research Impact: The physical demands of team sports such as soccer have been traditionally evaluated in terms of distance covered or time spent in different speed zones. However this does not take into the multidirectional movement patterns […]
The available evidence, including much of my own previous work, supports that acute and chronic exercise results in small-to-moderate reductions in anxiety among otherwise healthy adults, adults with a diverse range of chronic illnesses, and […]
