Presentation / Conference Contribution
Johnston, T., Brown, S., & Kaliarntas, K. (2024, July). The effects of a novel neuromuscular training programme on recreational female hockey players during a sagittal plane hop, hop and twist and unanticipated sidecut. Poster presented at 29th Annual Congress of European College of Sport Science, Glasgow, UK

INTRODUCTION: Females are at greater risk than other populations to sustain a noncontact injury especially the knee, hamstring and ankle (Lin et al., 2018). This may be, in part, associated with muscle activation, landing technique leading to great...

Perceived confidence is an important dimension of an athlete’s psychological readiness to return-to-play. However, there is no established and validated tool to evaluate confidence in professional football. This study aimed to provide preliminary eva...
