Differences exist between top-tier soccer leagues (e.g. anthropometry and match demands), which may influence strength and conditioning (S&C) practice. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether current S&C practice in men's and women's (... Read More about Global differences in current strength and conditioning practice within soccer..

An investigation of movement dynamics and muscle activity during traditional and accentuated-eccentric squatting. (2022)
Journal Article
ARMSTRONG, R., BALTZOPOULOS, V., LANGAN-EVANS, C., CLARK, D., JARVIS, J., STEWART, C. and O'BRIEN, T. 2022. An investigation of movement dynamics and muscle activity during traditional and accentuated-eccentric squatting. PLoS ONE [online], 17(11), article number e0276096. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0276096

Accentuated-eccentric loading (AEL) takes advantage of the high force producing potential of eccentric muscle contractions, potentially maximising mechanical tension within the muscle. However, evidence is lacking on how AEL squatting may load the in...

Long-term adverse effects and healthcare burden of rectal cancer radiotherapy: systematic review and meta-analysis. (2022)
Journal Article
MORTON, A.J., RASHID, A., SHIM, J.S.C., WEST, J., HUMES, D.J. and GRAINGE, M.J. 2023. Long-term adverse effects and healthcare burden of rectal cancer radiotherapy: systematic review and meta-analysis. ANZ journal of surgery [online], 93(1-2), pages 42-53. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/ans.18059

As rectal cancer survival increases, more patients survive with potentially severe, long-term gastrointestinal and genitourinary complications from radiotherapy. The burden of these complications for patients and healthcare services is unclear, which...

Interpreting magnitude of change in strength and conditioning: effect size selection, threshold values and Bayesian updating. (2022)
Journal Article
SWINTON, P.A., BURGESS, K., HALL, A., GREIG, L., PSYLLAS, J., ASPE, R., MAUGHAN, P. and MURPHY, A. 2022. Interpreting magnitude of change in strength and conditioning: effect size selection, threshold values and Bayesian updating. Journal of sports sciences [online], 40(18), pages 2047-2054. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2022.2128548

The magnitude of change following strength and conditioning (S&C) training can be evaluated comparing effect sizes to threshold values. This study conducted a series of meta-analyses and compiled results to identify thresholds specific to S&C, and cr...
