The Influence of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions on perceived nutrition habits in rugby union players
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to governments and local authorities implementing nationwide lockdowns in an attempt to encourage social distancing and minimize the spread of the virus. Only essential businesses ... -
Myths and Methodologies: Reducing scientific design ambiguity in studies comparing sexes and/or menstrual cycle phases
(Wiley, 2018)In recent years, the increase in scientific literature exploring sex differences has been beneficial to both clinicians and allied health science professionals, although female athletes are still significantly under‐represented ... -
Practical Hydration Solutions for Sports.
(2019)Personalized hydration strategies play a key role in optimizing the performance and safety of athletes during sporting activities. Clinicians should be aware of the many physiological, behavioral, logistical and psychological ... -
Resting metabolic rate prediction equations and the validity to assess energy deficiency in the athlete population
(WILEY, 2019)Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the amount of energy the body uses at rest. A suppressed RMR has been correlated with low energy availability and therefore used as an indicator of an individual's energy state. Furthermore, ... -
The validity of resting metabolic rate (RMR)-prediction equations and reliability of measured RMR in female athletes
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2019)The aim of the current study was to; 1) assess the test-retest reliability of an indirect calorimetry analyzer (Parvo Medics TrueOne), and 2) compare measured RMR with three RMR-predictive (pRMR) equations in female athletes. ...

Effects of a higher acute protein intake post muscle-damaging exercise on muscle recovery in older female endurance runners
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Masters endurance athletes who train and compete in organised competitive endurance events, appear to take longer to recover after muscle-damaging exercise than younger athletes. A reduced sensitivity to increase skeletal ... -
Hyperthermic resistance training in semi-professional rugby athletes
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Resistance training muscle adaptations may be enhanced under increased environmental temperatures (>30 °C). Training in the heat has been widely used to enhance performance adaptations in a range of populations from untrained ... -
Female athlete health: The silent risks of high performance
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Despite female athlete health becoming a growing area of interest in sport science reasearch, there are still gaps to be filled in the literature. Low energy availabilty (LEA) and iron deficiency are two prevalent issues ... -
Hypoxic resistance training in elite Rugby Union athletes
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Limited research suggests that muscle adaptations may be enhanced through resistance training in a hypoxic environment. Altitude training has been integrated into athlete preparation strategies for the past five decades ...
