As a multidisciplined combat sport, relationships between external and internal training loads and intensities of mixed martial arts (MMA) have not been described. The aim of this study was to determine the external loads and intensities of MMA train... Read More about The relationships between external and internal training loads in mixed martial arts..

The collagen synthesis response to an acute bout of resistance exercise is greater when ingesting 30 g hydrolyzed collagen compared with 15 g and 0 g in resistance-trained young men. (2023)
Journal Article
LEE, J., TANG, J.C.Y., DUTTON, J., DUNN, R., FRASER, W.D., ENRIGHT, K., CLARK, D.R., STEWART, C.E. and ERSKINE, R.M. 2024. The collagen synthesis response to an acute bout of resistance exercise is greater when ingesting 30 g hydrolyzed collagen compared with 15 g and 0 g in resistance-trained young men. Journal of nutrition [online], 154(7), pages 2076-2086. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.10.030

Resistance exercise (RE) stimulates collagen synthesis in skeletal muscle and tendon but there is limited and equivocal evidence regarding an effect of collagen supplementation and exercise on collagen synthesis. Furthermore, it is not known if a dos...

Physical testing and strength and conditioning practices differ between coaches working in academy and first team soccer. (2023)
Journal Article
MCQUILLIAM, S.J., CLARK, D.R. ERSKINE, R.M. and BROWNLEE, T.E. 2023. Physical testing and strength and conditioning practices differ between coaches working in academy and first team soccer. International journal of sports science and coaching [online], 18(4), pages 1045-1055. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1177/17479541231155108

Scientific guidelines exist regarding strength and conditioning (S&C) best practice, for both first team and academy level soccer. However, it is not known if these research-informed guidelines are followed in such applied settings. The aim of this s...

The use of physical characteristics to explain variation in ball-carrying capability in elite rugby union: a narrative review. (2023)
Journal Article
HART, A., ERSKINE, R. and CLARK, D. 2023. The use of physical characteristics to explain variation in ball-carrying capability in elite rugby union: a narrative review. Journal of strength and conditioning research [online], 37(8), pages 1718-1727. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000004468

The effectiveness of offensive ball carrying has been identified as a key determinant in elite rugby union try-scoring success and subsequent match outcome. Despite this, there is limited research evaluating the physical qualities believed to underpi...
