Additional clothing increases heat load in elite female Rugby sevens players
( Human Kinetics Publishers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Purpose: To determine whether elite female rugby sevens players are exposed to core temperatures (Tc) during training in the heat that replicate the temperate match demands previously reported and to investigate whether ... -
Appetite and gut hormone responses to moderate-intensity continuous exercise versus high-intensity interval exercise, in normoxic and hypoxic conditions
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article & Report)This study investigated the effects of continuous moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) in combination with short exposure to hypoxia on appetite and plasma concentrations of acylated ... -
Changes in core temperature during an elite female rugby sevens tournament
( Human Kinetics Publishers Inc. , 2020 , Article)Purpose: To characterize player core temperature (Tc) across a World Rugby Women's Sevens Series tournament day (WRWSS) and determine the efficacy of commonly employed cold-water-immersion (CWI) protocols. Methods: Tc was ... -

( Human Kinetics Publishers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Purpose: To determine the effect of wearing a phase-change cooling vest in elite female rugby sevens athletes during (1) a simulated match-day warm-up in hot conditions prior to a training session and (2) a prematch warm-up ... -
Limiting the Rise in Core Temperature During a Rugby Sevens Warm-up With an Ice Vest.
( Human Kinetics , 2019 , Article)Determine how a cooling vest worn during a warm-up could influence selected performance [counter movement jump (CMJ)], physical (GPS metrics) and psycho-physiological (body temperature and perceptual) variables. In a ... -
Mixed-methods pre-match cooling improves simulated soccer performance in the heat.
( Taylor & Francis , 2019 , Article)This investigation examined the effects of three pre-match and half-time cooling manoeuvres on physical performance and associated physiological and perceptual responses in eight University soccer players during a non-motorised ... -
Pharmacological hypotheses: Is acetaminophen selective in its cyclooxygenase inhibition?
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2021 , Article)The precise mechanistic action of acetaminophen (ACT; paracetamol) remains debated. ACT’s analgesic and antipyretic actions are attributed to cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition preventing prostaglandin (PG) synthesis. Two COX ... -
