A biomechanical comparison of the traditional squat, powerlifting squat and box squat. (2012)
Journal Article
SWINTON, P.A., LLOYD, R., KEOGH, J.W.L., AGOURIS, I. and STEWART, A. 2012. A biomechanical comparison of the traditional squat, powerlifting squat and box squat. Journal of strength and conditioning research [online], 26(7), pages 1805-1816. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e3182577067

The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics of the traditional squat with two popular exercise variations, commonly referred to as the powerlifting squat and box squat. Twelve male powerlifters performed the exercises with 30, 50 and 70... Read More about A biomechanical comparison of the traditional squat, powerlifting squat and box squat..

Laboratory methods of body composition analysis. (2012)
Book Chapter
ROLLAND, C. 2012. Laboratory methods of body composition analysis. In Stewart, A.D. and Sutton, L. (eds.) Body composition in sport, exercise and health. Abingdon: Routledge, chapter 2, pages 20-41.

In the initial stages of body composition analysis, cadavers were analysed and later used as a criterion method for validating developing methods which could be used in live subjects. Cadavers have been analysed chemically and anatomically. The chemi... Read More about Laboratory methods of body composition analysis..

Effect of load positioning on the kinematics and kinetics of weighted vertical jumps. (2012)
Journal Article
SWINTON, P.A., STEWART, A., LLOYD, R., AGOURIS, I. and KEOGH, J.W.L. 2012. Effect of load positioning on the kinematics and kinetics of weighted vertical jumps. Journal of strength and conditioning research [online], 26(4), pages 906-913. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e31822e589e

One of the most popular exercises for developing lower-body muscular power is the weighted vertical jump. The present study sought to examine the effect of altering the position of the external load on the kinematics and kinetics of the movement. Twe...
