Short Term Precision Error of Body Composition Assessment Methods in Resistance Trained Male Athletes" (2020)
Journal Article
Farley, A., Slater, G., & Hind, K. (2021). Short Term Precision Error of Body Composition Assessment Methods in Resistance Trained Male Athletes". International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 31(1), 55-65. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem.2020-0061

Athletic populations require high-precision body composition assessments to identify true change. Least significant change determines technical error via same-day consecutive tests but does not integrate biological variation, which is more relevant f...

Opportunistic screening using low-dose CT and the prevalence of osteoporosis in China: a nation-wide, multicenter study (2020)
Journal Article
Xiaoguang, C., Kai Ping, Z., Xiaojuan, Z., Xia, D., Yongli, L., Shuang, C., …Wei, T. (2021). Opportunistic screening using low-dose CT and the prevalence of osteoporosis in China: a nation-wide, multicenter study. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 36(3), 427-435. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbmr.4187

Opportunistic screening for osteoporosis can be performed using low‐dose computed tomography (LDCT) imaging obtained for other clinical indications. In this study we explored the CT‐derived bone mineral density (BMD) and prevalence of osteoporosis fr...

Increases in DXA-derived visceral fat across one season in professional rugby union players: importance of visceral fat monitoring in athlete body composition assessment (2020)
Journal Article
McHugh, C., Hind, K., Wyse, J., Davey, D., & Wilson, F. (2021). Increases in DXA-derived visceral fat across one season in professional rugby union players: importance of visceral fat monitoring in athlete body composition assessment. Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 24(2), 206-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jocd.2020.09.001

Introduction: In rugby, the average player body mass has increased by approximately 25% since 1955. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with low grade inflammation, and chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this st...

Associations of muscle size and density with proximal femur bone in a community dwelling older population (2020)
Journal Article
Yin, L., Xu, Z., Wang, L., Li, W., Zhao, Y., Su, Y., …Engelke, K. (2020). Associations of muscle size and density with proximal femur bone in a community dwelling older population. Frontiers in Endocrinology, 11, Article 503. https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2020.00503

Background and Purpose: Muscle weakness and bone fragility are both associated with hip fracture. In general, muscle contractions create forces to the bone, and bone strength adapts to mechanical loading through changes in bone architecture and mass....

Cumulative sport‑related injuries and longer term impact in retired male elite‑ and amateur‑level rugby code athletes and non‑contact athletes : a retrospective study (2020)
Journal Article
Hind, K., Konerth, N., Entwistle, I., Lewis, G., Theadam, A., & Chazot, P. (2020). Cumulative sport‑related injuries and longer term impact in retired male elite‑ and amateur‑level rugby code athletes and non‑contact athletes : a retrospective study. Sports Medicine, 50(11), 2051-2061. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-020-01310-y

Background: Rugby union and rugby league are popular team contact sports, but they bring a high risk of injury. Although previous studies have reported injury occurrence across one or several seasons, none have explored the total number of injuries s...
