Research Impact: The study reported here replicated initial findings of positive effects of acute aerobic exercise on state anxiety, worry, and feelings of energy and fatigue among 16 young adult women with analogue GAD, examined […]

Publication: “Flying on empty”– effects of sleep deprivation on pilot performance
Research Impact: Due to the modern flight operations and the busy work schedules of commercial airline pilots, sleep loss and fatigue would appear to be commonplace and potentially place a serious threat on pilot well-being […]
Publication: Sex-related differences in joint-angle-specific hamstring-to-quadriceps function following fatigue
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 […]
The joys of longitudinal data collection with elite athletes. Caoimhe Tiernan
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 […]
Publication: Sleep quality moderates the association between physical activity & feelings of fatigue in adolescents
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 […]
Publication: Acute effects of outdoor & indoor exercise on feelings of energy & fatigue in people with depressive symptoms
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 […]
Publication: Directional Change Mediates the Physiological Response to High-Intensity Shuttle Running in Soccer Players
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 […]
Shifting Focus Down the Severity Spectrum – Can we Intervene Earlier with Exercise? Matthew Herring
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 […]
