Objective To evaluate systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of exercise on general cognition, memory and executive function across all populations and ages. Methods Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of…
The effect of blood flow restricted exercise on measures of health and physical fitness across all populations: An umbrella review and meta-meta-analysis Open
BFRE is a viable option to improve hypertrophy, strength, aerobic fitness, and vascular health across various populations, though its effects on hypertrophy and strength are smaller when compared to traditional high load resistance trainin…
An evaluation of progressive blood flow restricted resistance training and exercise preferences in individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis Open
BFR-RT is viewed positively by people with RA, and when delivered in a way that aligns with their preferences, is acceptable, has high adherence, and can improve strength and function, and reduce pain.
Effects of cold-water immersion on health and wellbeing: A systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background Cold-water immersion (CWI) has gained popularity as a health and wellbeing intervention among the general population. Objective This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the psychological, cognitive, and physiol…
The effect of training distribution, duration, and volume on VO2max and performance in trained cyclists: A systematic review, multilevel meta-analysis, and multivariate meta-regression Open
Polarized and non-polarized training modalities yield comparable improvements in VO2max and time-trial performance in trained cyclists. Beyond achieving a necessary training volume, further increases do not appear to enhance performance. T…
Cardiac Structure and Function of Elite Australian Jockeys Compared to the General Population: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study Open
Background Research highlights the intense physiological demands of thoroughbred racing on jockeys, with elevated heart rates and substantial oxygen uptake, confirming the rigorous physical nature of the sport, however, the cardiovascular …
108 Why do we run? Motivation profiles and training characterstics in the Garmin-RUNSAFE Running Health Study Open
Purpose To identify differences in training between runners with different motivation profiles. Methods We invited runners enrolled in the Garmin-RUNSAFE Running Health Study to answer the Behavioural Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire,…
Enhancing athletic performance with complex contrast training: A Delphi study of elite strength and conditioning coaches Open
This Delphi study identifies how elite strength and conditioning coaches prescribe complex contrast training to team sport athletes. Thirty-eight elite strength and conditioning coaches with experience working in high performance settings …
Changes in injury and illness incidence and burden in elite junior male Australian footballers over a 6–year period Open
The multi-year injury surveillance methodology identified injuries with the highest consistent incidence and those that caused the most burden to elite male junior AF players. The results can be used to reliably guide future injury prevent…
Journal self-citations trends in sport sciences: an analysis of disciplinary journals from 2013 to 2022 Open
This study reports on the yearly rate of journal self-citation (JSC) in sport sciences, how it changes over time, and its association with journal impact factor (JIF). Citations made by all 87 journals in “sport sciences” from 2013 to 2022…
The effect of individualised post-exercise blood flow restriction on recovery following strenuous resistance exercise: A randomised controlled trial Open
The purpose was to clarify the effect of individualised post-exercise blood flow restriction (PE-BFR) on measures of recovery following strenuous resistance exercise. Twenty resistance-trained adults were randomised to a PE-BFR or control …
Ankle sprain, concussion, and anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common and burdensome in sub-elite female Australian football players Open
This research describes the first large-scale injury profile of sub-elite female AF, reporting time-loss measures of incidence and burden for many injury types. Ankle sprain injuries, concussions, and ACL injuries are common and burdensome…
Cardiac structure and function of elite Australian jockeys differs to the general population: An observational cross-sectional study. Open
Background The objective of this study was to compare measures of cardiac structure and function of professional jockeys to that of the general population. To determine if there are differences in heart structure and function detected usin…
The learning styles of Australian exercise science and clinical exercise physiology students Open
There has been a shift in tertiary education, whereby large portions of theory are now taught online, and the practical skills underpinned by this knowledge taught in clinical environments. It is unclear if this flipped approach is appropr…
Exercise positively impacts global longitudinal strain in women at risk of developing cardiovascular disease Open
Cardiovascular (CV) disease accounts for one third of deaths in females, with hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk factors for its development. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a strong prognostic indicator for fu…
Excess Body Mass Exacerbates the Association Between Poor Physical Function and Frailty in Older Community Dwelling Adults Open
