Collagen supplementation augments changes in patellar tendon properties in female soccer players. [Dataset] (2023)
Dataset

Soft tissue injury (including collagenous tissues, such as skeletal muscle, tendon and ligament) is the most common injury type in women's soccer, and is two-to-five times more common in female than in male soccer players. Indeed, female players suff... Read More about Collagen supplementation augments changes in patellar tendon properties in female soccer players. [Dataset].

The idiom 'more high-quality research is needed' has become the slogan for sport and exercise physiology-based research in female athletes. However, in most instances, it is challenging to address this gap of high-quality research in elite female ath...

The γ-aminobutyric acid–mediated (GABAergic) system participates in many aspects of organismal physiology and disease, including proteostasis, neuronal dysfunction, and life-span extension. Many of these phenotypes are also regulated by reactive oxyg...

"Doing" is never enough, if "being" is neglected: exploring midwives' perspectives on the influence of an emotional intelligence education programme: a qualitative study. [Article] (2023)
Journal Article
TABIB, M., HUMPHREY, T. and FORBES-MCKAY, K. [2024]. "Doing" is never enough, if "being" is neglected: exploring midwives' perspectives on the influence of an emotional intelligence education programme: a qualitative study. Women and birth [online], (submitted).

The role of the midwife is emotionally demanding, with many midwives experiencing high levels of stress and burnout, and a great number considering leaving the profession. This has serious implications for the delivery of high-quality, safe maternity...
