Journal Article
Gannon, L., & Hind, K. (online). Skeletal Loading: Lean and Bone Mass Development in Young Elite Male Gymnasts, Swimmers, and Nonathletes Aged 6-24 Years. Pediatric Exercise Science, https://doi.org/10.1123/pes.2024-0029

Exercise optimizes peak bone mass accrual, particularly if the loading is high magnitude and distributed in abnormal directions. Little is known about the influence of early intense training in sport during peak bone mass accrual, especially in boys....

The Child of the North: Building a fairer future after COVID-19 (2021)
Report
Pickett, K., & Taylor-Robinson, D. (2021). The Child of the North: Building a fairer future after COVID-19. London: Northern Health Science Alliance and N8 Research Partnership

Children in the North are more likely to live in poverty than those in the rest of England – and increasingly so. Poverty is the lead driver of inequalities between children in the North and their counterparts in the rest of the country, leading to w...
