The Effect of Complex Training on Physical Performance in Rugby League Players (2023)
Journal Article
Scott, D. J., Ditroilo, M., Orange, S. T., & Marshall, P. (2023). The Effect of Complex Training on Physical Performance in Rugby League Players. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 18(3), 240-247. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2021-0565

Purpose: To compare the effects of variable-resistance complex training (VRCT) versus traditional complex training (TCT) on strength, power, speed, and leg stiffness (Kleg) in rugby league players during a 6-week mesocycle. Methods: Twenty-four rugby... Read More about The Effect of Complex Training on Physical Performance in Rugby League Players.

The effect of accommodating resistance on the post-activation potentiation response in Rugby League players (2018)
Journal Article
Scott, D. J., Ditroilo, M., & Marshall, P. (2018). The effect of accommodating resistance on the post-activation potentiation response in Rugby League players. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 32(9), 2510-2520. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000002464

This study examined the post-activation potentiation (PAP) response of two conditioning activities (CA), the hexbar deadlift (HBD) and back squat (BS), combined with accommodating resistance; this adds a percentage of the total resistance during the...

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...
