Inspiratory muscle training for improving inspiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Manifield, J., Winnard, A., Hume, E., Armstrong, M., Baker, K., Adams, N., Vogiatzis, I., & Barry, G. (2021). Inspiratory muscle training for improving inspiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis. 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)
Journal Article

Physical activity (PA) is an important lifestyle component of long-term health management for organ transplant recipients, yet little is known about recipients’ experiences of PA. The purpose of this study was to shed light on this experience and to... Read More about Organ Transplant Recipients’ Experiences of Physical Activity: Health, Self-Care, and Transliminality.

An exploration of UK student physiotherapists' goal setting practices within anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation (2020)
Journal Article
Alexanders, J., Chesterton, P., Brooks, A., & Kaye, J. A. (2021). An exploration of UK student physiotherapists' goal setting practices within anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation. Musculoskeletal Care, 19(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1519

Background
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a common and complex injury coupled with a lengthy rehabilitation. Goal setting is said to be an effective psychological tool within ACL rehabilitation due to its simplicity and is commonly us...
