Item An examination of the validity and utility of selected methods for the assessment of habitual physical activity.(E & FN Spon, 1995) Mitchell, J.; Mercer, Tom; Springate, T.; Atkinson, G.; Reilly, T.Item Assessment of neuromuscular performance using electromyography(Routledge, 2008-10-21) Gleeson, Nigel; Eston, R.; Reilly, T.About the book: Kinanthropometry is the study of human body size, shape and form and how those characteristics relate to human movement and sporting performance. In this fully updated and revised edition of the classic guide to kinanthropometric theory and practice, leading international sport and exercise scientists offer a clear and comprehensive introduction to essential principles and techniques.Item Effect of a fatigue task on absolute and relativised indices of isokinetic leg strength in female collegiate soccer players.(Chapman and Hall, 1997) Gleeson, Nigel; Mercer, Tom; Campbell, I.; Bangsbo, J.; Hughes, M.; Reilly, T.Item Exercise behaviour, physical fitness, and Coronary Heart Disease risk factor status: evidence from a worksite-screening programme.(E & F N Spon, 1995) Wyse, Jon; Mercer, Tom; Atkinson, G.; Reilly, T.Item Fitness profiles of professional soccer players before and after pre-season training.(Chapman and Hall, 1997) Mercer, Tom; Gleeson, Nigel; Mitchell, J.; Bangsbo, J.; Hughes, M.; Reilly, T.Item Influence of acute endurance activity on leg neuromuscular and musculoskeletal performance(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1998-04) Gleeson, Nigel; Reilly, T.; Mercer, Tom; Rakowski, S.; Rees, D.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance activities designed to simulate the physiological demands of soccer match-play and training, on leg strength, electromechanical delay, and knee laxity. Methods: Eight recreational soccer players completed four exercise trials in random order: 1) a prolonged intermittent high intensity shuttle run (PHISR) which required subjects to complete a total distance of 9600 m in a form simulating the pattern of physical activity in soccer match-play (activity mode; rest-to-work intervals; approximately 90 min duration), 2) a shuttle-run (SR),(3) a treadmill run (TR) which required subjects to complete an equivalent distance at a running speed corresponding to 70% VO2max, and 4) a control condition consisting of no exercise. Results: Results from repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant condition (PHISR; SR; TR; control) by time (pre; mid; post) interactions for peak torque (PT: knee extension and flexion; 1.05 rads-1), EMD and anterior tibio-femoral displacement (TFD) (P < 0.05). Impairment to indices of knee joint performance was observed in PHISR, SR, and TR trials. The greatest decrement occurred in PHISR and SR trials (up to 44%). Knee extensor and flexor strength performance near to full knee extension (0.44 rad knee flexion) was not changed following the functionally-relevant endurance activities. Conclusions: Even though strength performance near to full knee extension was preserved following acute endurance activities, the risk of ligamentous injury may be increased by concomitant impairment to EMD and anterior TFD.Item Skeletal muscle function(Routledge, 2008-10-21) Baltzopoulos, V.; Gleeson, Nigel; Eston, R.; Reilly, T.About the book: Kinanthropometry is the study of human body size, shape and form and how those characteristics relate to human movement and sporting performance.
