Buckthorpe, M., Danelon, F., La Rosa, G., Nanni, G., Stride, M., & Villa, Della, F. (2020). Sports Medicine, 51(4), 607–624. Abstract It is important to optimise the functional recovery process to enhance patient outcomes after major injury such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This requires in part more high-quality original research, but also an approach to translate existing research …
Webster, K. E. (2021). Abstract While there has been significant interest in the documentation of return to sport outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, the elite level female athlete has not been a focus of this research. This is despite women being at increased risk for ACL injury and considerable global growth in women participating in sport. Therefore, the …

A large prospective Dutch cohort study Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport , Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport 24 (2021) 332–337 ABSTRACT Objectives: To explore changes in running behavior due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, assess presence of symptoms suggestive for COVID-19 and identify whether there is an association between running behavior …
Callahan, M. J., Parr, E. B., Hawley, J. A., & Camera, D. M. (2021). Sports Medicine, 51(3), 405–421. Abstract Exercise training in combination with optimal nutritional support is an effective strategy to maintain or increase skeletal muscle mass. A single bout of resistance exercise undertaken with adequate protein availability increases rates of muscle protein synthesis and, when repeated over weeks …
Paul, D., Read, P., Farooq, A., & Jones, L. (2021) ABSTRACT Background: Subjective monitoring of rate of perceived exertion is common practice in many sports. Typically, the information is used to understand the training load and at times modify forthcoming sessions. Identifying the relationship between the athlete and coach’s interpretation of training would likely further benefit understanding load management. The …
Hott A, Brox JI, Pripp AH, Breda SJ, Oei EHG, Zwerver J, et al. British Journal of Sports Medicine Abstract Objective: To compare the effectiveness of progressive tendon-loading exercises (PTLE) with eccentric exercise therapy (EET) in patients with patellar tendinopathy (PT). Methods: In a stratified, investigator-blinded, block-randomised trial, 76 patients with clinically diagnosed and ultrasound-confirmed PT were randomly assigned in a 1:1 …
