Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing performance by improving core stability and core strength
TL;DR: A clearer understanding of the roles that specific muscles have during core stability and core strength exercises would enable more functional training programmes to be implemented, which may result in a more effective transfer of these skills to actual sporting activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warm-Up Strategies for Sport and Exercise: Mechanisms and Applications.
TL;DR: Potential physiological mechanisms underpinning warm-ups and how they can affect subsequent exercise performance are identified, and recommendations for warm-up strategy design for specific individual and team sports are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diminutions of acceleration and deceleration output during professional football match play
TL;DR: Time-dependent reductions in distances covered suggest that acceleration and deceleration capability are acutely compromised during match play and may be supported by the findings that HACC and HDEC performance following PEAK was approximately 10% lower than mean values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superior Inhibitory Control and Resistance to Mental Fatigue in Professional Road Cyclists

TL;DR: The findings suggest that inhibitory control and resistance to mental fatigue may contribute to successful road cycling performance and may be either genetic and/or developed through the training and lifestyle of professional road cyclists.
Journal ArticleDOI
The acceleration dependent validity and reliability of 10 Hz GPS.
TL;DR: The validity and reliability of 10Hz GPS for the measurement of instantaneous velocity has been shown to be inversely related to acceleration, and those using 10 Hz GPS should be aware that during accelerations of over 4 ms(-2), accuracy is compromised.
