Tracking of physical activity and sedentary behaviour from adolescence to young adulthood: A systematic literature review.
(Elsevier, 2019-06)Purpose The transition from adolescence to young adulthood is categorized by substantial changes in one's activity behaviors, which may have important implications for health. To date, no reviews have systematically ... -
Validation study of the Spanish version of the Last-7-d Sedentary Time Questionnaire (SITQ- 7d-Sp) in young adults.
(Public Library of Science, 2019-05-29)There are few valid instruments to assess domain-specific sedentary behaviours (SB) among Spanish-speaking populations. This study validated the original English version of the last 7 days SB questionnaire (SIT-Q-7d) ... -
Does sports club participation contribute to physical activity among children and adolescents? A comparison across six European countries
(Sage, 2018-07-12)AIMS: Insufficient physical activity (PA) is one of the largest public health challenges of our time and requires a multisectoral public-health response. PA recommendations state that all children and adolescents should ... -
Exploring bodily sensations experienced during flow states in professional national hunt 6 jockeys: A connecting analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Previous research has suggested that distinct bodily sensations are experienced by athletes during flow states, and could represent a sport-specific characteristic of this phenomenon. This study aimed to enrich understanding ... -
Health promotion interventions in sports clubs: can we talk about a setting based approach? A systematic mapping review.
(Sage, 2018-02)Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000’s, a thorough understanding of ... -
Fear-avoidance following musculoskeletal injury in male adolescent Gaelic footballers.
(Human Kinetics, 2019-03)CONTEXT: Gaelic football participation provides a wealth of benefits but a risk of musculoskeletal injury also exists. Injury is associated with physical consequences, including pain, discomfort, loss of function, time ... -
HIIT enhances endurance performance and aerobic characteristics more than high-volume training in trained rowers.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This study compared the effects of long slow distance training (LSD) with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in rowers. Nineteen well-trained rowers performed three tests before and after an 8-week training intervention: ... -
Results from Ireland's 2014 Report Card on Physical Activity in Children and Youth
(Human Kinetics, 2014)BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) levels are a key performance indicator for policy documents in Ireland. The first Ireland Report Card on Physical Activity in Children and Youth aims to set a robust baseline for future ... -
Fundamental movement skill proficiency in juvenile Gaelic games.
(Springer, 2018-04)Background Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic observable patterns of movement and prerequisites to successful performance of sports specific skills. International research has found that children are not reaching ... -
Influence of reactive and maximum strength indicators on sprint performance.
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)The primary aim of this study was to assess the relationship between reactive and maximal strength measures with 40 m sprint performance and mechanical properties. Fourteen male and fourteen female sprinters participated ... -
Reactive strength index: a poor indicator of reactive strength?
(Human Kinetics, 2018-07)Purpose: The primary aim was to assess the relationships between reactive strength measures and associated kinematic and kinetic performance variables achieved during drop jumps. A secondary aim was to highlight issues ... -
Minimum wear duration for the activPAL™ Professional Activity Monitor in Adolescent Females.
(Human Kinetics, 2017)Objectives: This study aims to determine the minimum number of days of monitoring required to reliably predict sitting/lying time, standing time, light intensity physical activity (LIPA), moderate-to-vigorous intensity ... -
Activity profiles and the associations with weight status in population studies of young children: are there gender differences?
(Human Kinetics, 2017-02)Purpose: Profiling activity behaviors in young children is important to understand changes in weight status over time. The purpose of this study is to identify activity profiles from self- and parental-reported Physical ... -
Simultaneous validation of five activity monitors for use in adult populations.
(Wiley, 2017-12)Numerous cut-points exist to measure physical activity by accelerometry. The ability to compare accelerometer findings from different devices from different locations may be advantageous to researchers. This study aimed ... -
The cross-sectional associations between objectively measured sedentary time and cardiometabolic health markers in adults – a systematic review with meta-analysis component.
(Wiley, 2018)Sedentary time is viewed as an independent risk factor for adverse cardiometabolic health (CMH). No systematic review and meta-analysis on the cross-sectional asso-ciations between objectively measured sedentary time and ... -
Does fundamental movement skill proficiency vary by sex, class group or weight status? Evidence from an Irish primary school setting.
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)This study examined fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency among male (N=216) and female (N=198) Irish primary school pupils from Year 2 to Year 7 (9.0 ± 1.7 years). Following anthropometric measurements, participants ... -
activPAL™ determined sedentary behaviour, physical activity and academic achievement in college students.
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03)The aim of this study was to examine relationships between activPALTM-determined sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) with academic achievement. A total of 120 undergraduates (N=57 female; 20.6 ± 2.3 years) ... -
A systematic literature review of reviews on techniques for physical activity measurement in adults: a DEDIPAC study.
(BioMed Central, 2018)The links between increased participation in Physical Activity (PA) and improvements in health are well established. As this body of evidence has grown, so too has the search for measures of PA with high levels of ...
