The effects of a novel neuromuscular training programme on recreational female hockey players during a sagittal plane hop, hop and twist and unanticipated sidecut (2024)
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... Read More about The effects of a novel neuromuscular training programme on recreational female hockey players during a sagittal plane hop, hop and twist and unanticipated sidecut.

Effects of a novel neuromuscular training programme on recreational female hockey players during an unanticipated sidecut (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Johnston, T., Kaliarntas, K., & Brown, S. (2024, February). Effects of a novel neuromuscular training programme on recreational female hockey players during an unanticipated sidecut. Presented at 7th IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury and Illness in Sport, Monaco, 29 February–2 March 2024, Monaco

Background
Female hockey players are at a high risk of noncontact injuries which could be potentially mitigated with neuromuscular training.

Objective
This study assessed the effects of a sport-specific
neuromuscular training (NMT) programme... Read More about Effects of a novel neuromuscular training programme on recreational female hockey players during an unanticipated sidecut.

Noncontact injuries in Scottish hockey: A study of epidemiology, current practice and a preventative measure (2022)
Thesis
Johnston, T. Noncontact injuries in Scottish hockey: A study of epidemiology, current practice and a preventative measure. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2948338

Introduction: There is limited evidence on noncontact injury epidemiology, current warm-up practice and exercise interventions used to reduce injuries in hockey. Therefore, the aims of this thesis are to investigate (1) noncontact injuries, (2) curre...

Non-contact injury incidence and warm-up observation in hockey in Scotland (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Johnston, T., Brown, S., Kaliarntas, K., & Taylor, C. (2016, August). Non-contact injury incidence and warm-up observation in hockey in Scotland. Poster presented at International Sports Science + Sports Medicine Conference 2016

Noncontact injuries occur during manoeuvres such as landing, accelerating and the side-cut. This investigation has assessed the prevalence and manoeuvres associated with noncontact injuries and the current warm up practice. An online questionnaire wa...
