Elite athletes often make large personal sacrifices to pursue excellence, but there is insufficient support for them when they leave elite sport. Identity loss is central to athletes' transition trajectories and hence the management of identity change is a crucial area for support. The More Than Sport (MTS) program is a novel digital intervention t...
Functional independence of the transversus abdominis (TrA) from other trunk muscles for postural control is still unclear. This study aimed to clarify the specific function of the TrA to control standing posture by vibratory stimulation of the triceps surae. Fifteen men participated in this study. Muscle activity of the TrA, internal oblique, lumba...
BACKGROUND: Biomechanical evaluations of sport-specific jump-landing tasks may provide a more ecologically valid interpretation compared to generic jump-landing tasks. For accurate interpretation of longitudinal research, it is essential to understand the reliability of biomechanical parameters of sport-specific jump-landing tasks. RESEARCH QUESTIO...
The development of the circumplex model for coach behavior recently provided researchers an integrative model to assess coach behavior. While the circumplex model has currently only been deployed in cross-sectional research designs using the Situations in Sports questionnaire (SISQ), it has clear potential within research on dynamics of coach behav...
PURPOSE: Patellofemoral pain, maltracking and instability remain common and challenging complications after total knee arthroplasty. Controversy exists regarding the effect of kinematic alignment on the patellofemoral joint, as it generally leads to more femoral component valgus and internal rotation compared to mechanical alignment. The aim of thi...

OBJECTIVE: To conceptualize a composite primary endpoint for parallel-group RCTs of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) interventions and to explore its application and statistical efficiency. DESIGN: We conducted a statistical exploration of sample size requirements. We combined exercise capacity and physical activity for the composite endp...
