Journal Article
Shushan, T., McLaren, S. J., Buchheit, M., Scott, T. J., Barrett, S., & Lovell, R. (2022). Submaximal Fitness Tests in Team Sports: A Theoretical Framework for Evaluating Physiological State. Sports Medicine, 52(11), 2605-2626. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-022-01712-0

Team-sports staff often administer non-exhaustive exercise assessments with a view to evaluating physiological state, to inform decision making on athlete management (e.g., future training or recovery). Submaximal fitness tests have become prominent... Read More about Submaximal Fitness Tests in Team Sports: A Theoretical Framework for Evaluating Physiological State.

Fast reconstruction of centre of mass and foot kinematics during a single-legged horizontal jump: A point-cloud processing approach (2022)
Journal Article
McLaren, S., Evans, W., Galna, B., Portas, M., Weston, M., & Spears, I. (2022). Fast reconstruction of centre of mass and foot kinematics during a single-legged horizontal jump: A point-cloud processing approach. Journal of Biomechanics, 135, Article 111015. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2022.111015

Horizontal jumps are discrete, fast, over-ground movements requiring coordination of the centre of mass (CoM) and base of support and are routinely assessed in sports settings. There is currently no biomechanics-based system to aid in their quick and...

The reliability, validity and sensitivity of an individualised sub-maximal fitness test in elite rugby league athletes (2022)
Journal Article
Scott, T. J., McLaren, S. J., Lovell, R., Scott, M. T., & Barrett, S. (2022). The reliability, validity and sensitivity of an individualised sub-maximal fitness test in elite rugby league athletes. Journal of Sports Sciences, 40(8), 840-852. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2021.2021047

We aimed to examine the reliability, validity and sensitivity of an individualised sub-maximal fitness test (SMFTIFT60). Nineteen elite rugby league players performed a one-week test-retest of SMFTIFT60. Typical Errors and ICCs were: small (<3.5%) an...
