Positive effects of blue light on motor coordination in older adults: A pilot study
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)Purpose: Falls are a risk factor for mortality in older adults. Lighting interventions can improve cognitive and motor task performance, but the effect on postural control with relevance to falling is unknown. Methods: ... -
Positive Effects of Blue Light on Postural Control and Motor Coordination in Older Adults: A Pilot Study
(2021-12-06)Purpose: Falls are a risk factor for mortality in older adults. Light interventions can improve cognitive function and performance in motor tasks, but the potential impact on postural control with relevance to falling is ...

Testing the efficacy of motor analogies for landing safely from falls
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Fall-related injuries are a major concern in countries with an aging population. One approach for reducing the likelihood of fall injuries is to teach older adults how to land safely. However, different safe landing ... -
Factors that influence motor performance: Colour, inhibition and conscious processing
(The University of Waikato, 2021)This thesis investigates potential psychological mechanisms that influence motor performance in sport, including colour, inhibition function, and propensity for conscious control of movement. A question was raised about ... -
Disrupting working memory to reduce verbal-analytical engagement in motor performance: Squeezing in a tiresome new approach to implicit motor learning!
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Implicit motor learning paradigms aim to minimise verbal-analytical engagement during motor performance. Some do this by suppressing working memory activity during practice. This reduces the ability of the learner to use, ... -
Associations between fundamental movement skills, gymnastics and movement specific reinvestment
(The University of Waikato, 2020)The propensity for conscious monitoring and control of movement (i.e. movement specific reinvestment) influences the acquisition of movement skills. Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic motor skills that children ... -
The effects of flotation-restricted environmental stimulation therapy on post-exercise recovery in trained athletes
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Flotation-restricted environmental stimulation therapy (FLOAT) is a method of sensory deprivation and a relaxation technique that has proven to benefit individuals suffering from various health disorders. The objective of ...
