Video Game Addiction and Engagement in Adult Gamers: Differentiation Based on Relationships with Health and Functioning
… hinging on differentiation from close constructs and demonstrable negative consequences. Investigations of candidate consequences have produced mixed results. Deleterious correlates vary across studies, and the few which have investigated confounding factors or temporal precedence draw opposing …

The application of imagery to enhance 'flow state' in dancers
… an imagery intervention, two Studies (Study 1 and 2) were conducted examining flow and imagery. Based on the findings from Studies 1 and 2, I developed an imagery intervention and tested its efficacy in terms of flow, anxiety, and performance in Study 3.

The effects of osteoarthritis, acute voluntary inactivity and injury on skeletal muscle function, Na+, K+ -ATPase content and isoform abundance
… causes substantial maladaptions in each of skeletal muscle size, strength and endurance. In skeletal muscle the Na+, K+ -ATPase (NKA) enzyme is pivotal in the regulation of Na+ and K+ concentrations across the sarcolemmal and t-tubule membranes and hence in the maintenance of muscle …

Na+, K+-ATPase in single skeletal muscle fibres and the effects of ageing, training and inactivity
… is a key protein involved in the maintenance of skeletal muscle excitability and comprises 2 subunits (α and β), each of which express multiple isoforms at a protein level in skeletal muscle (α1-3 and β1-3). The fibre-specific expression, adaptability and roles of each isoform in human …

Acceleration and fatigue in soccer
This thesis investigated acceleration in soccer and the ability to improve acceleration capacity using supplementation and a training intervention both separately and in combination. Study one determined the validity and reliability of 5 and 10 Hz global positioning systems (GPS) for measuring …

Decision making in sport : applying the above real time training method
… four main chapters that investigate the use of speeded video as a method of decision-making training. Six different video speeds were tested using a video-based decision-making task, to gain a thorough understanding of the effects of video speed on different levels of expertise in Australian …

The effects of water immersion on recovery in Australian football
Participation in a physically demanding team sport, such as Australian football (AF), can result in post-exercise physical performance decrements as well as increases in psychometric measures, muscle damage and inflammation. The use of both cold water immersion (CWI) and contrast water therapy …

Effects of salbutamol on potassium and exercise performance
… adrenergic agonist widely used for the treatment of asthma and known to reduce plasma potassium concentration [K+]. The International Olympic Committee had been concerned that salbutamol may give an inequitable advantage to athletes. However, little work has investigated whether salbutamol has …

The effect of ageing on the control of toe clearance during walking
Increased tripping frequency and the associated risk of falling is an international health problem in older adult populations. The average distance between the toe and the ground surface is approximately 1.3cm at the event where the toe reaches a minimum clearance height during leg swing of walking …

A new way of using accelerometers in Australian rules football: assessing external loads
… (Player load) for measuring the external load of Australian football. Study one established the reliability of a triaxial accelerometer (MinimaxX 2.5) in a laboratory and sports-specific field setting... Study two assessed concurrent validity by measuring relationships between Player load and …

Regulation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake during contraction/ exercise by nitric oxide (NO)/ neuronal nitric oxide synthase MU (NOSμ)
During exercise/ muscle contraction, large amounts of blood glucose are taken up into skeletal muscle fibers thus removing glucose from the bloodstream. This process is regulated differently to insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake and is normal in humans with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and in …
