Mashup Score: 25Exercise, digital health and chronic disease: feasibility, effectiveness and utilisation (PhD Academy Award) - 2 month(s) ago
My thesis investigated the feasibility, effectiveness and utilisation of digital health physical activity/exercise interventions in chronic disease cohorts. Contemporary literature was reviewed for applicable digital health interventions,1 a feasibility randomised controlled trial was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of a patient-centred digital health exercise and diet intervention for people living with kidney and liver disease in tertiary care,2 3 and the utilisation of telehealth exercise physiology (EP) services in Australia was examined.4 Only 25% of all Australian adults aged 18–64 years meet physical activity and muscle strengthening guidelines.5 This observation is compounded for people living with complex multimorbid chronic conditions, such as kidney or liver disease, where clinical state has a profound effect on physical activity level. Novel approaches to exercise delivery are warranted in these patient groups. Digital health physical activity/exercise interventions

Mashup Score: 262Running footwear matters: decoding the influence of running shoe characteristics on physiology, biomechanics and running performance (PhD Academy Award) - 5 month(s) ago
The objectives of my PhD were to: (1) evaluate and analyse the performance improvement caused by advanced footwear technology (AFT) in road racing performance and (2) analyse the effect and describe the mechanisms that the main AFT characteristics produce on running performance. Recently, a new running shoe concept has been launched, which has revolutionised footwear design, named AFT. This type of running footwear is defined by the combination of: (1) reduced shoe mass, (2) greater rocker geometry, (3) a curved carbon fibre plate or other element embedded in the midsole in order to increase longitudinal bending stiffness (LBS), (4) more compliant and resilient midsole foams (ie, polyether block amide (PEBA)) to provide cushioning and responsiveness and (5) increased midsole thickness (figure 1A). Although this shoe demonstrated improvements in running economy, it is not known what impact it has had on road running performance, the events for which it was designed. In addition, the imp

Mashup Score: 12023 International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) consensus statement on Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) - 6 month(s) ago
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) was first introduced in 2014 by the International Olympic Committee’s expert writing panel, identifying a syndrome of deleterious health and performance outcomes experienced by female and male athletes exposed to low energy availability (LEA; inadequate energy intake in relation to exercise energy expenditure). Since the 2018 REDs consensus, there have been >170 original research publications advancing the field of REDs science, including emerging data demonstrating the growing role of low carbohydrate availability, further evidence of the interplay between mental health and REDs and more data elucidating the impact of LEA in males. Our knowledge of REDs signs and symptoms has resulted in updated Health and Performance Conceptual Models and the development of a novel Physiological Model. This Physiological Model is designed to demonstrate the complexity of either problematic or adaptable LEA exposure, coupled with individual moderating factors

Mashup Score: 2Hip joint imaging findings in football players with hip and groin pain (PhD Academy Award) - 7 month(s) ago
I evaluated the importance of hip joint imaging findings in young adult football (Australian football and soccer) players with longstanding hip and/or groin pain (HGP). Participation in football is associated with increased odds of developing hip osteoarthritis (OA) in later life.1 The path towards OA may commence early in the lifespan of a football player, but studies of young adult football players are lacking. It is also unclear if the structural joint changes seen on imaging are associated with HGP or if cam morphology plays a role in early hip OA development in young athletes. Gaining a greater understanding of the prevalence of early hip OA features, and their relationship with cam morphology in younger football players may allow for the development of interventions to slow and/or prevent OA disease. First, I conducted two systematic reviews to understand the prevalence of early hip OA features in people (athletic and non-athletic) with and without HGP. My remaining studies were

Mashup Score: 19Injuries in elite male youth football and athletics: growth and maturation as potential risk factors (PhD Academy Award) - 7 month(s) ago
The aim of my PhD research was to better understand injury patterns in youth football (soccer) and athletics (track and field) and explore growth rates and skeletal maturity as injury risk factors. In the studies included, we examined differences between recorders within an injury surveillance programme, described the most common and burdensome injuries in youth athletes participating in football and athletics and explored associations between growth rates, skeletal maturity and injury risk in both sports. Previous studies had shown that injuries are common in youth athletes1 2; however, few had combined injury location and type to identify targets for injury prevention or calculated injury burden as a measure of impact. Although some studies had indicated that athletes’ maturity status or position relative to the adolescent growth spurt may affect the risk of sustaining injuries,3 findings were inconsistent and we aimed to improve our understanding of these relationships. The studies
