Between-week reliability of motion tracking screening: A preliminary study with youth male football players (2021)
Journal Article
Laas, M., Wright, M., McLaren, S., Portas, M., Parkin, G., & Eaves, D. (2021). Between-week reliability of motion tracking screening: A preliminary study with youth male football players. European Journal of Human Movement, 46, 59-65. https://doi.org/10.21134/eurjhm.2021.46.618

We investigated the reliability of fundamental movements in thirteen youth football players (mean age = 16.8 ± 0.6 y). Following a habituation warm-up, players performed three trials of stride-for-distance and bodyweight squats between two weeks. A m...

Journal Article
Sangan, H. F., Hopker, J. G., Davison, G., & McLaren, S. J. (2021). The Self-Paced Submaximal Run Test: Associations With the Graded Exercise Test and Reliability. International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 16(12), 1865-1873. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2020-0904

Purpose: To assess the reliability and construct validity of a self-paced, submaximal run test (SRTRPE) for monitoring aerobic fitness. The SRTRPE monitors running velocity (v), heart rate (HRex), and blood lactate concentration (B[La]), during three...
