Creatine kinase and neuromuscular fatigue responses following differing spells of simulated cricket fast bowling (2025)
Journal Article
Bray, J. W., Towlson, C., Hayes, S. C., & Fogarty, M. (2025). Creatine kinase and neuromuscular fatigue responses following differing spells of simulated cricket fast bowling. PLoS ONE, 20(1 January), Article e0317692. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0317692

The fast-bowling action demands repetitive high-intensity whole body movements, imposing complex physical and perceptual demands on players that vary significantly throughout the season. This study aimed to assess and establish practical methods and... Read More about Creatine kinase and neuromuscular fatigue responses following differing spells of simulated cricket fast bowling.

Tyrosine supplementation is ineffective in facilitating soccer players’ physical and cognitive performance during high-intensity intermittent exercise in hot conditions (2025)
Journal Article
Donnan, K. J., Williams, E. L., & Stanger, N. (2025). Tyrosine supplementation is ineffective in facilitating soccer players’ physical and cognitive performance during high-intensity intermittent exercise in hot conditions. PLoS ONE, 20(1), Article e0317486. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0317486

Tyrosine has been proposed to potentially provide ergogenic benefits to cognitive and physical performance in physiologically demanding environments. However research into its effectiveness on cognitive and physical performance during exercise in the...

Criterion validity of a newly developed Apple Watch app (‘MVPA’) compared to the native Apple Watch ‘Activity’ app for measuring criterion moderate intensity physical activity (2025)
Journal Article
Warner, A., Vanicek, N., Benson, A., Myers, T., & Abt, G. (2025). Criterion validity of a newly developed Apple Watch app (‘MVPA’) compared to the native Apple Watch ‘Activity’ app for measuring criterion moderate intensity physical activity. Digital Health, 11, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1177/20552076251326225

Introduction: Many people fail to meet physical activity guidelines. One possible solution is wearable technology. Yet it is unclear if popular devices such as the Apple Watch can accurately measure intensity, which is a cornerstone of physical activ...

Comparing the technical and individual possession statistics of academy players across different age groups in match-play (2025)
Journal Article
Escreet, E., Barrett, S., Toner, J., Iga, J., & Towlson, C. (2025). Comparing the technical and individual possession statistics of academy players across different age groups in match-play. PLoS ONE, 20(1), Article e0316833. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0316833

Background Youth soccer players in the UK transition into the professional game at 16 years of age. Understanding the differences between youth and professional standards can help coaches and clubs to support player development during this transition...

Cognition and skill learning in single leg loading: the role of augmented visual feedback on motor control performance  (2024)
Thesis
Duke, K. (2024). Cognition and skill learning in single leg loading: the role of augmented visual feedback on motor control performance . (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5077527

Externally provided visual feedback is often delivered to an individual during an activity to provide information on ‘performance’. These modes of feedback delivery are termed ‘augmented’ as it is externally provided to the user, often through wearab...
