Investigating the association of self-regulation of learning with adolescent leisure-time physical activity (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pitkethly, A., & Lau, P. W. C. (2014, November). Investigating the association of self-regulation of learning with adolescent leisure-time physical activity. Presented at British Association for Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES), Burton-On-Trent, UK

Low levels of physical activity (PA) are associated with numerous health problems, and although a moderately active lifestyle can reduce these risks, levels of adolescent PA remain insufficient. To improve PA promotion, uptake and adherence, many psy... Read More about Investigating the association of self-regulation of learning with adolescent leisure-time physical activity.

The relationship between the golf swing plane and ball impact characteristics using trajectory ellipse fitting (2017)
Journal Article
Wallace, E. S., Morrison, A., McGrath, D., & Wallace, E. S. (2018). The relationship between the golf swing plane and ball impact characteristics using trajectory ellipse fitting. Journal of Sports Sciences, 36(3), 303-310. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2017.1303187

The trajectory of the clubhead close to ball impact during the golf swing has previously been shown to be planar. However, the relationship between the plane orientation and the orientation characteristics of the clubhead at ball impact has yet to be...

Injury, Sleep, Mood And Performance And The Role Of Mental Toughness During An Arctic Ultra-marathon (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martindale, R., Graham, S., Connaboy, C., & McKinley, M. (2015, May). Injury, Sleep, Mood And Performance And The Role Of Mental Toughness During An Arctic Ultra-marathon. Poster presented at American College of Sports Medicine. Annual Meeting, San Diego, California, USA

Studies examining ultra-endurance racing in ‘extreme environments’ are sparse. However, research has shown that injury and sleep management are crucial. For example, sleep deprivation has been shown to be associated with mood, which can impact on per...
