12 weeks of simulated barefoot running changes foot-strike patterns in female runners
Donne, Bernard; Fleming, Neil (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 ... -
Cardiorespiratory effects of combining transcutaneous spinal stimulation and robot assisted walking: a case study.
Mahony, Nicholas; Fleming, Neil (2016) -
Comparison of balance variables across active and retired athletes and age matched controls
Lee, Catriona; Fleming, Neil; Donne, Bernard (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 ... -
A Comparison of Physiological Response to Incremental Testing on Stationary and Dynamic Rowing Ergometers.
Fleming, Neil; Mahony, Nicholas (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] ... -
Contralateral selectivity of upper limb motor pools via targeted stimulation of the cervical spinal cord.
Fleming, Neil (2023)Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) at the cervical level may facilitate improved upper-limb function in those with incomplete tetraplegia. While clinical trials are ongoing, there is still much debate regarding ... -
Does exercise therapy improve pulmonary function in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis?
Fleming, Neil; Dockrell, Sara; Mockler, David (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 ... -
The effect of surface compliance on overground running biomechanics. A systematic review and meta-analysis
Fleming, Neil; Mockler, David (2023)The surface upon which running is performed has been suggested as a potential cause of many running-related injuries. It remains unclear, however, what effect surface compliance has on running biomechanics. This study ... -
Efficacy of resistance training during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer care: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Mockler, David; Fleming, Neil; Mahony, Nicholas (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 ... -
Electromyography in the assessment of neuromuscular fatigue and biomechanical task specificity
Fleming, Neil (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Physiology, 2012)The use of EMG in the quantification of muscle fatigue has received much attention over the years. It has been used to identify the neuromuscular fatigue threshold at the aerobic-anaerobic transition during dynamic exercise ... -
Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for motor recovery in SCI: A Systematic Review
Fleming, Neil; Mockler, David; Taylor, Clare; Fleming, Neil (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
Rafferty, Anthony; Donne, Bernard; Kiely, Patrick; Fleming, Neil (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 ... -
Is the FTP Test a Reliable, Reproducible and Functional Assessment Tool in Highly-Trained Athletes?
Fleming, Neil; Mcgrath, Eanna; Mahony, Nicholas; Donne, Bernard (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 ... -
Reliability and Validity of the Lactate Pro 2 Analyser
Mahony, Nicholas; Fleming, Neil; Boland, Marie; Crotty, Nora May Nuala; Donne, Bernard (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 ... -
Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and motor responses in individuals with spinal cord injury: A methodological review
Mockler, David; Fleming, Neil; Reilly, Richard (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 ...
