Different dietary approaches for the treatment of obesity and the phenotypic responses to these diets. (2009)
Thesis
HESSION, M. 2009. Different dietary approaches for the treatment of obesity and the phenotypic responses to these diets. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Currents treatments for obesity have been unsuccessful. It is essential that a patient-centred approach for obesity management is developed and for this to be successful other diet and lifestyle approaches need to be considered. A systematic review c...

An investigation into determinants of successful rowing performance in terms of body morphology and stretcher position. (2008)
Thesis
EMERY, M. 2008. An investigation into determinants of successful rowing performance in terms of body morphology and stretcher position. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Successful rowers competing at an elite level have been shown to have particular morphological characteristics that are associated with their success (Bourgois et al. 2001; Slater et al. 2005; Kerr et al. 2007). The aim of this investigation was to i... Read More about An investigation into determinants of successful rowing performance in terms of body morphology and stretcher position..

Self-assessments skills of occupational therapy students. (1997)
Thesis
CALDWELL, J.E. 1997. Self-assessments skills of occupational therapy students. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Increasingly health workers are expected to self-evaluate within the work-place thus raising the question as to how they develop such skills. To date there has been very little research on self-assessment in higher education courses which prepare hea... Read More about Self-assessments skills of occupational therapy students..
