A detailed comparison of Functional Threshold Power (FTP) versus Blood Lactate Thresholds, Ventilatory Threshold and Critical Power, proceeded by a trained model for FTP using GxT data
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Anatomy, 2022)The role of the power-based cycling test called the Functional Threshold Power test (FTP) is examined in the current research project. The computed cycling FTP (c-FTP) is reported to represent the uppermost power output ... -
12 weeks of simulated barefoot running changes foot-strike patterns in female runners
(2014)To investigate the effect of a transition program of simulated barefoot running (SBR) on running kinematics and foot-strike patterns, female recreational athletes (n=9, age 29 ± 3 yrs) without SBR experience gradually ... -
Is the FTP Test a Reliable, Reproducible and Functional Assessment Tool in Highly-Trained Athletes?
(2019)The aim of the current study was to assess reliability of the Functional Threshold Power test (FTP) and the corresponding intensity sustainable for 1-hour in a "quasi-steady state". Highly-trained athletes (n = 19) completed ... -
Efficacy of resistance training during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer care: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Purpose: To determine the effect of resistance training during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients on measures of lean mass and muscle strength. Secondary aims were to analyse the prescription ... -
A Comparison of Physiological Response to Incremental Testing on Stationary and Dynamic Rowing Ergometers.
(2022)Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to compare responses to graded exercise testing (GXT) on 2 popular commercial rowing ergometers. Methods: A cohort of 23 subelite male rowers (age 20 [2] y, height 1.88 [0.06] ... -
Reliability and Validity of the Lactate Pro 2 Analyser
(2021)This study evaluated the reliability of the portable Lactate Pro 2 analyzer (LP2), and its validity compared to a laboratory-based analyzer, YSI 1500 Sport (YSI). Blood samples (n = 258) were collected during 44 graded ... -
Does exercise therapy improve pulmonary function in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis?
(2022)Introduction: Exercise therapy is frequently used for treating patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) however no previous review has evaluated the effect of exercise therapy on pulmonary function in this ... -
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and motor responses in individuals with spinal cord injury: A methodological review
(2021)Background Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) is a non-invasive modality in which electrodes can stimulate spinal circuitries and facilitate a motor response. This review aimed to evaluate the methodology of ... -
Comparison of balance variables across active and retired athletes and age matched controls
(2021)Postural control is a major falls risk factor, therefore identifying protective mechanisms is essential. Physical activity enhances postural stability but effect duration has been minimally researched. The current study ... -
Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for motor recovery in SCI: A Systematic Review
(2021)Background. Epidural spinal electrical stimulation at the lumbar spinal level evokes rhythmic muscle activation of lower-limb antagonists, attributed to the central pattern generator. However, the efficacy of noninvasive ... -
Functional deficits in post-operative adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients
(2020)BACKGROUND: Little or no research currently exists investigating musculoskeletal strength, joint flexibility and cardiopulmonary capacity post-operative adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. PURPOSE: To explore ... -
The metabolic determinants of the response to ketone bodies in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Anatomy, 2020)Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood malignancy of the sympathetic nervous system. Its mutual neoplastic and neurodevelopmental underpinnings are characterised by an excessive glucose demand as a hallmark of a high proliferative ... -
Diglossia in the Etiology of Schizophrenia - A Hypothesis
(2019)A hypothesis offering diglossia as a potential risk factor for schizophrenia is presented. This is supported primarily by an account of the numerous co-occurrences between the diglossic phenomenon and the established risk ... -
A cadaveric dissection study of the anatomical variations of the ureter and implications for surgical intervention
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Anatomy, 2019)A cadaveric dissection study of the anatomical variations of the ureter and implications for surgical intervention Joan M. Costelloe The importance of studying ureteric anatomy such that it can be applied to surgical ... -
Methodological considerations in the assessment of shoulder function
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Anatomy, 2001)Introduction: Normal shoulder function requires primarily the efficient and coordinated action of the glenohumeral joint and scapulothoracic articulation. The mobility and partially the stability of the scapula on the ... -
The relationship between whiplash and temporomandibular joint dysfunction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Anatomy, 2007)"Whiplash" describes the mechanism of retroflexion followed by flexion of the neck that occurs when the occupant of a motor vehicle is impacted from behind by another vehicle with the occupant of the impacted vehicle being ... -
Observations of the natural history and long-term outcomes of deep venous thrombosis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Anatomy, 2001)One hundred above knee deep vein thromboses (DVT) from 89 patients (11 bilateral thrombosis) were examined to determine the dynamic status of the thrombi in the first year and to detennine the long-term clinical outcome ...
