🆕 Influence of role and competition stage on movement, heart rate and perceived task load characteristics of match officials during Men’s and Women’s Rugby League World Cup - @craig_twist tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Latest paper (open access) with @JHighton that might be of interest to those practitioners using off-feet conditioning with team sport athletes - Physiological, perceptual and neuromuscular responses to 15 vs. 30 s cycling HIIT @LJMUSportSci link.springer.com/article/10.100…
My first publication is now live, presenting research from the Rugby League Men’s and Women’s World Cup. The study examines physical and perceptual characteristics across different roles, stages and competitions. Supported by the best co-authors. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Great job Ella 👏🏼
First publication by @EllaJ__ examining physical & perceptual characteristics of RL referees and touch judges during group and KO stages of World Cup. Well done Ella! @JHighton @LJMUSportSci @RFLReferees Paper is open access if you're interested: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
🚨Possibly the last chance to get involved in this exciting study looking into fatigue resistance (durability/resilience)🚨 Want to know your physiology? ⬇️ Next bout of data collection starts in April! Register your interest here: forms.office.com/e/p6rCTgtm4c
We're in the final stages of data collection for our study on amino acid absorption after resistance exercise with insect protein ingestion. We just need a few more participants, so if you're interested in taking part please get in touch! Feel free to share! @Sam_Moss15
