Postgraduate taught students and preparedness for Master’s level study: polishing the facets of the Master’s diamond (2017)
Journal Article
Bamber, V., Choudhary, C. J., Hislop, J., & Lane, J. (2019). Postgraduate taught students and preparedness for Master’s level study: polishing the facets of the Master’s diamond. Journal of Further and Higher Education, 43(2), 236-250. https://doi.org

Transitions are increasingly recognised as difficult, and less has been written about transitions to postgraduate taught programmes than about transitions into undergraduate or doctoral study. A Scotland-wide project found that new taught Post-gradua... Read More about Postgraduate taught students and preparedness for Master’s level study: polishing the facets of the Master’s diamond.

Validity of wrist worn accelerometers and comparability between hip and wrist placement sites in estimating physical activity behaviour in preschool children (2016)
Journal Article
Hislop, J., Palmer, N., Anand, P., & Aldin, T. (2016). Validity of wrist worn accelerometers and comparability between hip and wrist placement sites in estimating physical activity behaviour in preschool children. Physiological Measurement, 37(10), 1701-1

Wrist-worn accelerometers can increase compliance with wearing accelerometers, however, several large scale studies continue to use hip-worn accelerometers and it is unclear how comparable data is from the two sites. The study aims were: to investiga...

Evaluation of a peer tutoring scheme to empower students in their transitions through the student journey (2015)
Journal Article
Hislop, J., & Lane, J. (2015). Evaluation of a peer tutoring scheme to empower students in their transitions through the student journey. Physiotherapy, 101(S1), e573-e574. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2015.03.3394

Background: Peer tutoring has potential to empower students to successfully navigate transitions across different stages of their student journey. A peer tutoring scheme was therefore introduced in which senior physiotherapy students supported first...

An investigation into the minimum accelerometry wear time for reliable estimates of habitual physical activity and definition of a standard measurement day in pre-school children. (2014)
Journal Article
Hislop, J., Law, J., Rush, R., Grainger, A., Bulley, C., Reilly, J. J., & Mercer, T. (2014). An investigation into the minimum accelerometry wear time for reliable estimates of habitual physical activity and definition of a standard measurement day in pre

The purpose of this study was to determine the number of hours and days of accelerometry data necessary to provide a reliable estimate of habitual physical activity in pre-school children. The impact of a weekend day on reliability estimates was also...

Objective measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviour: review with new data (2008)
Journal Article
Reilly, J. J., Penpraze, V., Hislop, J., Davies, G., Grant, S., & Paton, J. Y. (2008). Objective measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviour: review with new data. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 93(7), 614-619. https://doi.org/10.1136/adc.

Objective methods are being used increasingly for the quantification of the amount of physical activity, intensity of physical activity and amount of sedentary behaviour in children. The accelerometer is currently the objective method of choice. In t... Read More about Objective measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviour: review with new data.

Erector spinae activity during three methods of lifting a baby car seat in postnatal women and matched controls (2004)
Journal Article
Brown, H., Paul, L., Hislop, J., & McFadyen, A. (2004). Erector spinae activity during three methods of lifting a baby car seat in postnatal women and matched controls. Physiotherapy, 90(4), 204-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2004.06.003

Objectives The lifting of baby car seats could be a contributing factor in persistent back pain experienced by many postnatal women. The purpose of this study was to compare the activity of the erector spinae muscles of postnatal women and a control...
