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. (2017). Changes in ankle proprioception and neuromuscular function following an acute bout of British Army foot drill: Implications of lower-limb musculoskeletal injury

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.

Using stable isotopes to assess the distribution of reproduction by migratory and resident Salmo trutta within river systems: some complicating factors (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Briers, R., Campbell, R., Galt, K., Walters, M., & Holmes, J. (2017). Using stable isotopes to assess the distribution of reproduction by migratory and resident Salmo trutta within river systems: some complicating factors. In Sea Trout Science and Manage

Understanding the distribution of spawning resident and migratory trout in a river system is important for fishery management. In most cases this information is lacking or only partial, and mostly derived from surveys of breeding adults. Stable isoto...

Recent studies of humpback whale habitat use in the Hawaiian breeding grounds have revealed that mother-calf pairs favor shallow waters to avoid harassment from male humpbacks. However, human activity in these same shallow waters may, in theory, exe...

The cortisol awakening response (CAR) is a distinct element of the diurnal pattern of cortisol release, believed to be partly driven by the anticipation of the demands of the upcoming day. Although evidence suggests that the response may be associate... Read More about Anticipation and the cortisol awakening response within a dynamic psychosocial work environment.
