Journal Article
CRAIG, T.P., MAUGHAN, P., MCARDLE, M.P., CLARK, D.R. and REID, D. 2024. The physical progress of a professional Scottish soccer academy over a ten-year period. Open access journal of sports medicine [online], 15, pages 101-110. Available from: https://doi.org/10.2147/oajsm.s477808

Increases in high-intensity locomotor activity of match play have been recorded in elite soccer. This places an onus on academy practitioners to develop players for the future demands of the game. At an academy level, locomotor data are not available... Read More about The physical progress of a professional Scottish soccer academy over a ten-year period..

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...

Does transforming subjective measures of load better represent training and match-play intensity in youth soccer players? (2022)
Journal Article
MAUGHAN, P.C., MACFARLANE, N.G., TOWLSON, C., BARRETT, S. and SWINTON, P.A. 2023. Does transforming subjective measures of load better represent training and match-play intensity in youth soccer players? International journal of sports science and coaching [online], 18(5), pages 1541-1549. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1177/17479541221114739

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structure of relationships between measures of training load and assess whether these can be modified through non-linear transformations. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and seven external load mea...

Simulating association between training load and injury using the acute: chronic workload ratio and Bayesian methods in youth football. (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MAUGHAN, P., BURGESS, K.E. and SWINTON, P. 2017. Simulating association between training load and injury using the acute: chronic workload ratio and Bayesian methods in youth football. Presented at the 2017 UK Strength and Conditioning Association annual conference (UKSCA 2017), 4-6 August 2017, Leicester, UK.

Previous research has examined the relationship between relative workload and injury, where acute training load is expressed in relation to chronic training load using simple ratio scaling or non-linear models including the exponentially weighted mov...
