‘Making the System Work’: A Multi-Site Qualitative Study of Dietitians’ Use of iEMR to Support Nutrition Care Transitions for Older Adults with Malnutrition Open
Background: Older adults with malnutrition (≥65 years) require coordinated nutrition care during hospital-to-home transitions. A key purpose of integrated electronic medical record (iEMR) systems is to support clinicians in ensuring contin…
Influence of coffeeberry extract on soccer specific skill performance during simulated soccer match-play and following fatiguing exercise in academy players Open
Acute ingestion of coffeeberry extract improved select aspects of soccer skill performance, particularly short-passing speed/accuracy, in academy soccer players. These findings suggest a potential cognitive or neuromuscular mechanism, inde…
Energy accuracy of nutritional fluids provided in hospital: comparing nutrition label values against direct bomb calorimetry Open
Mandatory thresholds for the accuracy of reported energy on food and beverage product labels do not exist in many countries. Accurate nutrition information is essential for ensuring nutritional adequacy among hospital patients. The aim of …
Evaluating the impact of a coach educational intervention on relative energy deficiency in sport: A pilot study Open
Athletes undertaking large training volumes are often exposed to periods of low energy availability (LEA) and consequently are at risk of developing Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). Swim coaches play a key role in moderating thi…
Young Australian drinkers’ awareness, perceptions and behaviours towards low alcohol beverage products Open
Background: Young Australian drinkers (aged 18–24 years) are more likely to consume alcohol at risky levels than any other age group. The increased availability and diversity of low alcohol beverages (LAB)s available to Australian consumer…
Youth and Adolescent Athlete Musculoskeletal Health: Dietary and Nutritional Strategies to Optimise Injury Prevention and Support Recovery Open
Background: Despite the well-documented benefits of exercise and sports participation, young athletes are particularly vulnerable to musculoskeletal injuries. This is especially true during periods of rapid growth, sports specialisation, a…
The acute effects of non-concussive head impacts in sport: A randomised control trial. Open
Background Head impacts, particularly, non-concussive impacts, are common in sport. Yet, their effects on the brain are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the acute effects of non-concussive impacts on brain microstructure, chemistry…
Lost in Transition: Insights from a Retrospective Chart Audit on Nutrition Care Practices for Older Australians with Malnutrition Transitioning from Hospital to Home Open
Care transitions from hospital to home for older adults with malnutrition present a period of elevated risk; however, minimal data exist describing the existing practice. This study aimed to describe the transition of nutrition care proces…
Caffeine improves the shooting performance and reaction time of first-person shooter esports players: a dose-response study Open
Caffeine is recognized as one of the most effective dietary ergogenic aids in sports, yet its evidence-based effectiveness in esports is unclear. This study investigated the effects of two different doses of caffeine on the shooting perfor…
KovaaK's aim trainer as a reliable metrics platform for assessing shooting proficiency in esports players: a pilot study Open
Esports research lacks game-based metrics platforms appropriate for adequately capturing esports performance. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the reliability of the KovaaK's first-person shooter (FPS) aim trainer as a metrics pla…
Beverage sample preparation and procedures for bomb calorimetry: Establishing equivalency in methods Open
Standardised bomb calorimetry methods (sample preparation and combustion techniques) are essential to accurately quantify the caloric value of food and beverages, yet no protocols exist. This study evaluated the influence of various method…
Bioelectrical impedance analysis for measuring body composition in an outpatient haemodialysis setting: a feasibility study Open
Aim Clinical guidelines recommend using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assess body composition in adults with renal failure on maintenance haemodialysis. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability and clinical utility o…
The effect of contact/collision sport participation without concussion on neurometabolites: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies Open
The aim of this study was to systematically review prior research investigating the effects of contact/collision sport participation on neurometabolite levels in the absence of concussion. Four online databases were searched to identify st…
A review of factors influencing drinking behaviours in young Australian adults using a behavioural framework approach Open
Issues Young adults (aged 18–24 years) are more likely to binge drink than any other age group in Australia. These behaviours expose young adults to possible adverse events, with potential for acute harms. Approach A behavioural framework …
The Acute Effects Of Soccer Heading On The Brain: A Randomised Controlled Trial Open
PURPOSE: To examine the acute effects of soccer heading on brain chemistry and function using advanced neuroimaging techniques.\n\nMETHODS: Fourteen male soccer players (age: 26 ± 5 years [Mean ± SD]) completed two trials at Neuroscience R…
Preparation procedures of food and beverage samples for oxygen bomb calorimetry: A scoping review and reporting checklist Open
Standardised bomb calorimetry methods are essential to accurately quantify the gross energy within food and beverages, yet no accepted protocols exist. The objective of this review was to synthesise literature on food and beverage sample p…
The availability and promotion of low alcohol beverages in licensed venues: an environmental audit on the Gold Coast, Australia Open
Objectives: Low-alcohol beverages (LABs) are becoming increasingly popular and more accepted in Australia. However, the extent to which these products are accessible in licensed venues remains unknown. This investigation aimed to explore t…
A review exploring coach knowledge, attitudes/beliefs and behaviours towards low energy availability in athletes Open
Coaches are important figures of influence with potential to create environments that influence athlete health and performance outcomes. Ideally, coaches provide supportive environments that lead to performance optimisation and long-term h…
Patient and Staff Perceptions on Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in an Outpatient Haemodialysis Setting: A Qualitative Descriptive Study Open
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an objective hydration and body composition assessment method recommended for use in haemodialysis patients. Limited research exists on the acceptability and utility of BIA in clinical practice. Th…
