Successful recovery following musculoskeletal trauma: protocol for a qualitative study of patients’ and physiotherapists...
Published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
BackgroundAnnually in the UK, 40,000–90,000 people are involved in a traumatic incident. Severity of injury and how well people recover from their injuries varies, with physiotherapy playing a key role in the rehabilitation process. Recovery is evaluated using multiple outcome measures for perceived levels of pain severity and quality of life. It i...
Preparation of Al3+-doped ZnO micro–nanospheres for highly sensitive CO gas sensors
Published in Applied Physics A
Al3+-doped ZnO micro–nanospheres (AZO MNSs) were obtained in the method of collochemistry at a low cost, and the effects of the concentration of Al3+ on morphology, structural and gas-sensitive properties of the AZO MNSs were investigated. It was found that Al3+ doping reduced the particle size distribution of the MNSs and, in addition, also signif...
Enhanced flotation efficiency of metal from waste printed circuit boards modified by alkaline immersion.
Published in Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Efficient recycling of waste printed circuit boards by flotation has become a research focus. In this study, waste printed circuit boards were treated by alkaline immersion to enhance the flotation efficiency. Firstly, the SEM-EDS analysis of the crushed products shown that metal and nonmetal were completely liberated in the -0.25 mm fraction. When...

The effect of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on exercise-induced muscle damage
Published in Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
BackgroundExercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) results in transient muscle inflammation, strength loss, muscle soreness and may cause subsequent exercise avoidance. Omega-3 (n-3) supplementation may minimise EIMD via its anti-inflammatory properties, however, its efficacy remains unclear.MethodsHealthy males (n = 14, 25.07 ± 4.05 years) were rando...
Prolonged elevation of serum neurofilament light after concussion in male Australian football players
...Published in Biomarker Research
BackgroundBiomarkers that can objectively guide the diagnosis of sports-related concussion, and consequent return-to-play decisions, are urgently needed. In this study, we aimed to determine the temporal profile and diagnostic ability of serum levels of neurofilament light (NfL), ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1), glial fibrillary aci...

Can HRV Biofeedback Improve Short-Term Effort Recovery? Implications for Intermittent Load Sports.
Published in Applied psychophysiology and biofeedback
As intensity and physical demands continue to rise in sport competition, faster and better recovery becomes essential. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of HRV biofeedback (HRVB) while recovering from a submaximal aerobic exercise. Ten physically-active graduate students participated in the study, which was conducted in four sessions:...
