Kolokythas, Nico; Metsios, George S.; Dinas, Petros C.; Galloway, Shaun M.; Allen, Nick; Wyon, Matthew A. – Research in Dance Education, 2023
Overuse injuries are the most prevalent injuries in aesthetic sports, due to the repetitive nature of the training. Evidence of their relationship with growth, maturation, and training load is equivocal. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of these factors on overuse injuries in dance and aesthetic sports. A database search…

Pruitt, Madison; Morini, Giovanna – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Previous studies show that there is increased brain activity after exercise, leading to improved word recall in adults. The aim of this study was to examine whether different types of exercise (i.e., aerobic vs. anaerobic) may also lead to improved performance during vocabulary learning in children. Method: A total of 48 participants (24…

Rudd, J.R.; Woods, C.; Correia, V.; Seifert, L.; Davids, K. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2021
Background: In this paper, we explore physical education from a relational worldview. Theoretically guided by an ecological dynamics framework, this perspective calls us to conceptualise 'education' in its etymological roots -- ex-ducere -- meaning 'to lead' an individual 'out' into the world. In doing so, an educator would employ a 'softer'…
