Perspectives on high-intensity interval exercise for health promotion in children and adolescents (2017)
Journal Article
Bond, B., Weston, K., Williams, C., & Barker, A. (2017). Perspectives on high-intensity interval exercise for health promotion in children and adolescents. Open Access Journal of Sports Medicine, 8, 243-265. https://doi.org/10.2147/oajsm.s127395

Physical activity lowers future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; however, few children and adolescents achieve the recommended minimum amount of daily activity. Accordingly, there is virtue in identifying the efficacy of small volumes of high-inten...

Acute cardiorespiratory, perceptual and enjoyment responses to high-intensity interval exercise in adolescents (2017)
Journal Article
Malik, A. A., Williams, C. A., Bond, B., Weston, K. L., & Barker, A. R. (2017). Acute cardiorespiratory, perceptual and enjoyment responses to high-intensity interval exercise in adolescents. European Journal of Sport Science, 17(10), 1335-1342. https://

This study aimed to examine adolescents’ acute cardiorespiratory and perceptual responses during high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and enjoyment responses following HIIE and work-matched continuous moderate intensity exercise (CMIE). Fifty-four... Read More about Acute cardiorespiratory, perceptual and enjoyment responses to high-intensity interval exercise in adolescents.

A comprehensive allometric analysis of 2nd digit length to 4th digit length in humans (2017)
Journal Article
Lolli, L., Batterham, A. M., Kratochvíl, L., Flegr, J., Weston, K. L., & Atkinson, G. (2017). A comprehensive allometric analysis of 2nd digit length to 4th digit length in humans. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 284(1857), 20170

It has been widely reported that men have a lower ratio of the 2nd and 4th human finger lengths (2D : 4D). Size-scaling ratios, however, have the seldom-appreciated potential for providing biased estimates. Using an information-theoretic approach, we...

Short- and long-term reliability of leg extensor power measurement in middle-aged and older adults (2017)
Journal Article
Hurst, C., Batterham, A. M., Weston, K. L., & Weston, M. (2018). Short- and long-term reliability of leg extensor power measurement in middle-aged and older adults. Journal of Sports Sciences, 36(9), 970-977. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2017.1346820

Muscular power is important for maintaining physical functioning with aging. Proper quantification of the reliability of muscular power tests is crucial to inform monitoring of individuals and sample size planning for interventional studies. This stu...

Size Exponents for Scaling Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Over 6500 Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Lolli, L., Batterham, A. M., Weston, K. L., & Atkinson, G. (2017). Size Exponents for Scaling Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Over 6500 Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Sports Medicine, 47(7), 1405-1419. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-016-0655-1

Background Maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O 2max) is conventionally normalized to body size as a simple ratio or using an allometric exponent < 1. Nevertheless, the most appropriate body size variable to use for scaling and the value of the exponent are s...
