A personalised exercise programme for individuals with lower limb amputation reduces falls and improves gait biomechanics: A block randomised controlled trial (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2018)Background: Lower limb amputees (LLAs) are at increased risk of falling due to the inherent asymmetry resulting from their limb loss, muscle weakness and other neuro-musculoskeletal limitations. Research question: The aim ... -
Perspectives of applied collaborative sport science research within professional team sports (Pre-published version)

Phenomenology in laboratory-based tasks: exploring methodologies that integrate experiential reports with behavioural measures in psychological research
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2016)Disparate research traditions in the study of experience have led to contentious arguments over the use of first-person methods in psychological research (Dennett, 2001; Schwitzgebel, 2003). Some believe that researchers ... -

Physical activity promotion strategies for adolescent girls: exploring experiences, co-design and intervention development
(2020-01-22)Globally, over 80% of adolescent girls aged 11-17 fail to reach the recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines (Sallis et al. 2016). Interventions aiming to increase girls’ PA levels have only demonstrated modest effects ... -
The Picard group of a coarse moduli space of vector bundles in positive characteristic (Pre-published version)
(Versita, co-published with Springer Verlag., 2012)Let C be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Let Mss r,L denote the projective coarse moduli scheme of semistable rank r vector bundles over C with fixed determinant ... -
Pirates of the Mediterranean : Moroccan music video and technology
(Liverpool University Press, 2009)Technologies for the consumption and production of global media have brought ‘foreign bodies’ into the domestic spaces of millions of Moroccans. Such unprecedented access to cultural materials is, however, negotiated at a ... -

Poincaré families and automorphisms of principal bundles on a curve (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2009)Let C be a smooth projective curve, and let G be a reductive algebraic group. We give a necessary condition, in terms of automorphism groups of principal G-bundles on C, for the existence of Poincaré families parameterized ... -
Poincaré families of G-bundles on a curve (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2012)Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field k. Consider the moduli space of stable principal G-bundles on a smooth projective curve C over k. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of ... -
