The aims of this study were to establish sources of variability in match physical performance of professional soccer players and provide a method for monitoring individual between-match changes. Eleven players meeting the final inclusion criteria wer... Read More about Decomposing the variability of match physical performance in professional soccer: Implications for monitoring individuals.

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...

Age and Ageing, 50(3), 716-724. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afaa221

Background
The ageing process can result in the decrease of respiratory muscle strength and consequently increased work of breathing and associated breathlessness during activities of daily living in older adults.

Objective
This systematic revie... Read More about Inspiratory muscle training for improving inspiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Organ Transplant Recipients’ Experiences of Physical Activity: Health, Self-Care, and Transliminality (2020)
