Thesis
Rawcliffe, A. J. A Biomechanical Analysis of British Army Foot-Drill: Implications of Lower-Extremity Musculoskeletal Injury in Age-matched Civilian Men and Women. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2090019

British Army foot-drill may be a risk factor for musculoskeletal (MSK) injury. However, limited empirical research exists quantifying lower-extremity risk factors of foot-drill in men and women. To better understand and provide greater insight into t...

Blood flow restriction exercise attenuates the exercise-induced endothelial progenitor cells in healthy, young men. (2019)
Journal Article
Montgomery, R., Paterson, A., Williamson, C., Florida-James, G., & Ross, M. D. (2019). Blood flow restriction exercise attenuates the exercise-induced endothelial progenitor cells in healthy, young men. Frontiers in Physiology, https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2019.00447

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a vasculogenic subset of progenitors, which play a key role in maintenance of endothelial integrity. These cells are exercise-responsive, and thus exercise may play a key role in vascular repair and maintenance...

Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human (2019)
Journal Article
Maeda, S., Taylor, M., Anderson, L. C., & McLaughlin, J. (2019). Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human. International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 70, 28-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ergon.2019.01.002

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of the proposed consideration for hand-transmitted vibration measurement on the human. Method: To obtain the temporary threshold shift (TTS) in the fingertip vibrotactile perception... Read More about Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human.
