Changes in ankle proprioception and neuromuscular function following an acute bout of British Army foot drill: Implications of lower-limb musculoskeletal injury risk (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rawcliffe, A., Simpson, R., Graham, S., Psycharakis, S., Bansbach, H., & Connaboy, C. Changes in ankle proprioception and neuromuscular function following an acute bout of British Army foot drill: Implications of lower-limb musculoskeletal injury risk. Presented at 4th International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance, Melbourne, Australia

Introduction: The cyclic high impact loading forces and kinematics of British Army foot-drill suggest that foot-drill may contribute to the high incidence rates of lower-limb musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries reported in recruit populations. Transient a... Read More about Changes in ankle proprioception and neuromuscular function following an acute bout of British Army foot drill: Implications of lower-limb musculoskeletal injury risk.

Efficacy of unilateral strength training for enhancing load carriage performance (2017)
Journal Article
Connaboy, C., Rawcliffe, A., Graham, S., Flanagan, S., Pourmoghaddam, A., Dettmer, M., & Bansbach, H. (2017). Efficacy of unilateral strength training for enhancing load carriage performance. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 20(S2), S5. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2017.09.008

Introduction: Load carriage has been shown to have a significant impact on postural control. Falls associated with load carriage are a significant concern for the military. Risk of falling is compounded during operational scenarios combining load car... Read More about Efficacy of unilateral strength training for enhancing load carriage performance.

Comparison of Heart Rate Responses Between Coronary Heart Disease and Age-Matched Normal Subjects in Water-and Land-Based Exercise: A Pilot Study (2017)
Journal Article
Graham, S. M., Baird, M. F., Connaboy, C., & Thow, M. (2017). Comparison of Heart Rate Responses Between Coronary Heart Disease and Age-Matched Normal Subjects in Water-and Land-Based Exercise: A Pilot Study. Journal of Aquatic Physical Therapy, 25(2), 1-6

Background and purpose. Exercise therapy is an integral component of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Currently, land-based exercise classes are prescribed in Phase IV CR. However, with its unique properties, water-based exercise potentially offers an al...

The Effects of British Army Footwear on Ground Reaction Force and Temporal Parameters of British Army Foot-Drill. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 34(3), 754-762. https://doi.org/10.1519/jsc.0000000000002139

High rates of occupational training-related lower-limb musculoskeletal [MSK] overuse injuries are reported for British Army recruits during basic training. Foot-drill is a repetitive impact loading occupational activity and involves striking the grou...

Evidence of direct cardiac damage following high-intensity exercise in chronic energy restriction: A case report and literature review (2017)
Journal Article
Baird, M. F., Grace, F., Sculthorpe, N., Graham, S. M., Fleming, A., & Baker, J. S. (2017). Evidence of direct cardiac damage following high-intensity exercise in chronic energy restriction: A case report and literature review. Medicine, 96(27), Article e7030. https://doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000007030

Rationale: Following prolonged endurance events such as marathons, elevated levels of cardiospecific biomarkers are commonly reported. Although transiently raised levels are generally not considered to indicate clinical myocardial damage, comprehensi...

Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, W. M., Grace, F., Sculthorpe, N., Baker, J., Connaboy, C., & Baird, M. F. Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females

The 30-s Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT30) is frequently used to determine peak anaerobic power (PP). When PP, which is generally achieved within the first 5-s is the primary measure of interest, there may be no advantage in completing a 30-s test. It...
