Gender-specific in vivo measurement of the structural and mechanical properties of the human patellar tendon. (2007)
Journal Article
ONAMBÉLÉ, G.N.L., BURGESS, K. and PEARSON, S.J. 2007. Gender-specific in vivo measurement of the structural and mechanical properties of the human patellar tendon. Journal of orthopaedic research [online], 25(12), page 1635-1642. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/jor.20404

Human patellar tendon stress (σ), strain (ε), stiffness (K), and tensile or Young's modulus (E), are determined in vivo through voluntary isometric contractions monitored with B-mode ultrasonography. The limitations in previous studies are: (1) they... Read More about Gender-specific in vivo measurement of the structural and mechanical properties of the human patellar tendon..

Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties. (2007)
Journal Article
PEARSON, S.J., BURGESS, K. and ONAMBELE, G.N.L. 2007. Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties. Clinical biomechanics [online], 22(6), pages 712-717. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2007.02.006

Owing to the viscoelastic nature of tendons it may be that the total excursion and hence strain experienced by the tendon under load may be affected by the duration of contraction. Here we examine the effect of contraction duration on the measured in... Read More about Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties..

Thinking around abdominal obesity and cardiovascular risk. (2006)
Journal Article
BROOM, I. 2006. Thinking around abdominal obesity and cardiovascular risk. British journal of diabetes and vascular disease, 6(2), pages 58-61.

Obesity, particularly intra-abdominal (visceral) obesity, is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, inflammation and thrombosis. A useful indicator for visceral fat is waist circumference,... Read More about Thinking around abdominal obesity and cardiovascular risk..

Correcting calf girth discriminates the incidence of falling but not bone mass by broadband ultrasound attenuation in elderly female subjects. (2002)
Journal Article
STEWART, A.D., STEWART, A. and REID, D.M. 2002. Correcting calf girth discriminates the incidence of falling but not bone mass by broadband ultrasound attenuation in elderly female subjects. Bone [online], 31(1), pages 195-198. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/S8756-3282(02)00811-6

Calf circumference has been cited as an independent risk factor for hip fracture. Correcting this measured girth for subcutaneous adipose tissue or fluid accumulation provides a more valid estimate of lean tissue, but has not been reported in elderly...

A prospective study of the incidence and nature of injuries to adult rugby players. (1990)
Journal Article
CLARK, D.R., ROUX, C. and NOAKES, T.D. 1990. A prospective study of the incidence and nature of injuries to adult rugby players. South African medical journal [online], 77(6), pages 559-562. Available from: http://tinyurl.com/ye295aea

The incidence and nature of injuries occurring in 8 adult club rugby teams was followed prospectively during the 1988 rugby season. The findings were compared with those from two similar studies in schoolboy rugby players. A total of 114 injuries wer...

Changes in body composition after thermal injury in the rat. (1979)
Journal Article
AL SHAMMA, G.A., GOLL. C.C., BAIRD, T.B., BROOM, J., NICHOLAS, G.A. and RICHARDS, J.R. 1979. Changes in body composition after thermal injury in the rat. British journal of nutrition [online], 42(3), pages 367-375. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1079/BJN19790126

1. The effects on body composition, measured by direct techniques, of a controlled 25% body-surfacearea thermal injury have been studied in two groups of forty male Wistar rats. 2. The extent of weight loss in the animals was directly related to thei... Read More about Changes in body composition after thermal injury in the rat..
