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...

Muscle activation in the loaded free barbell squat: a brief review. (2012)
Journal Article
CLARK, D.R., LAMBERT, M.I. and HUNTER, A.M. 2012. Muscle activation in the loaded free barbell squat: a brief review. Journal of strength and conditioning research [online], 26(4), pages 1169-1178. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e31822d533d

The purpose of this article was to review a series of studies (n = 18) where muscle activation in the free barbell back squat was measured and discussed. The loaded barbell squat is widely used and central to many strength training programs. It is a... Read More about Muscle activation in the loaded free barbell squat: a brief review..

Low-carbohydrate diets, obesity and type 2 diabetes: a review. (2012)
Journal Article
GRYKA, A., BROOM, I. and ROLLAND, C. 2012. Low-carbohydrate diets, obesity and type 2 diabetes: a review. Agro food industry hi-tech [online], 23(Supplement 2), pages 12-14. Available from: https://www.teknoscienze.com/tks_article/low-carbohydrate-diets-obesity-and-type-2-diabetes-a-review/

This review examines the effects of low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets (LCHO) ( < 150g carbohydrate/day) on glycaemia and cardiovascular risk, appetite and satiety, liver and kidney function, energy expenditure, and bone metabolism. It also investi... Read More about Low-carbohydrate diets, obesity and type 2 diabetes: a review..

Alternative analyses for handling incomplete follow-up in the intention-to-treat analysis: the randomized controlled trial of balloon kyphoplasty versus non-surgical care for vertebral compression fracture (FREE). (2012)
Journal Article
RANSTAM, J., TURKIEWICZ, A., BOONEN, S., VAN MEIRHAEGHE, J., BASTIAN, L. and WARDLAW, D. 2012. Alternative analyses for handling incomplete follow-up in the intention-to-treat analysis: the randomized controlled trial of balloon kyphoplasty versus non-surgical care for vertebral compression fracture (FREE). BMC medical research methodology [online], 12, article 35. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2288-12-35

Background: Clinical trial participants may be temporarily absent or withdraw from trials, leading to missing data. In intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses, several approaches are used for handling the missing information - complete case (CC) analysis,...
