Comparative evaluation of heart rate-based monitors: Apple Watch vs Fitbit Charge HR (2017)
Journal Article
Bai, Y., Hibbing, P., Mantis, C., & Welk, G. J. (2018). Comparative evaluation of heart rate-based monitors: Apple Watch vs Fitbit Charge HR. Journal of sports sciences, 36(15), 1734-1741. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2017.1412235

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the validity of energy expenditure (EE), steps, and heart rate measured with the Apple Watch 1 and Fitbit Charge HR. Thirty-nine healthy adults wore the two monitors while completing a semi-structured... Read More about Comparative evaluation of heart rate-based monitors: Apple Watch vs Fitbit Charge HR.

The validity and inter-device variability of the Apple Watch™ for measuring maximal heart rate (2017)
Journal Article
Abt, G., Bray, J., & Benson, A. C. (2018). The validity and inter-device variability of the Apple Watch™ for measuring maximal heart rate. Journal of sports sciences, 36(13), 1447-1452. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2017.1397282

Maximal heart rate (HRmax) is a fundamental measure used in exercise prescription. The Apple Watch measures heart rate yet the validity and inter-device variability of the device for measuring HRmax are unknown. Fifteen participants completed a maxim...

© 2017 Human Kinetics, Inc. Objective: To investigate half-marathon runners' frequency of use of recovery strategies, perceptions regarding the most beneficial recovery strategy, and reasons for using recovery strategies. Design: Cross-sectional surv... Read More about The use of recovery strategies among participants of the BUPA Great North Run: A cross-sectional survey.

The effects of acute interval exercise and strawberry intake on postprandial lipemia (2017)
Journal Article
O’Doherty, A., Jones, H. S., Sathyapalan, T., Ingle, L., & Carroll, S. (2017). The effects of acute interval exercise and strawberry intake on postprandial lipemia. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 49(11), 2315-2323. https://doi.org/10.1249/MSS.0000000000001341

Purpose: Raised postprandial triglycerides (TAG) and related oxidative stresses are strongly associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Acute exercise and strawberry ingestion independently ameliorate postprandial lipid excursions a...

Habitual reflexivity and skilled action (2017)
Journal Article
Toner, J. (2017). Habitual reflexivity and skilled action. Body and Society, 23(4), 3-26. https://doi.org/10.1177/1357034X17736371

Theorists have used the concept habitus to explain how skilled agents are capable of responding in an infinite number of ways to the infinite number of possible situations that they encounter in their field of practice. According to some perspectives... Read More about Habitual reflexivity and skilled action.

Complex training: The effect of exercise selection and training status on postactivation potentiation in rugby league players (2017)
Journal Article
Scott, D. J., Ditroilo, M., & Marshall, P. (2017). Complex training: The effect of exercise selection and training status on postactivation potentiation in rugby league players. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 31(10), 2694-2703. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000001722

This study compared the postactivation potentiation (PAP) response of the hex bar deadlift (HBD) and back squat (BS) exercises. The PAP response between different levels of athletes was also compared. Ten professional and 10 amateur rugby league play...

Neophyte academics appear to be susceptible to occupational stress and there is an increasing need to explore the mental health of individuals in the early stages of an academic career. In this article we present the reflections of three sport and ex... Read More about Riding out the storm: The challenges faced and strategies used when balancing teaching commitments and a PhD.

Accelerometery and Heart Rate Responses of Professional Fast-Medium Bow- lers in One-Day and Multi-Day Cricket (2017)
Journal Article
