Replication study: Investigating the effects of maximal anaerobic fatigue on dynamic postural control using the Y-Balance Test.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to replicate the study titled "Investigating the effects of maximal anaerobic fatigue on dynamic postural control using the Y-Balance Test" by Johnston et al. (2018) as part of a large replication project. This study aimed to determine the effects of maximal anaerobic fatigue on dynamic postural control using the Y-Balance Test, with a specific focus on anterior reach distance.

Proposal of a Selection Protocol for Replication of Studies in Sports and Exercise Science.

Introduction: To improve the rigor of science, experimental evidence for scientific claims ideally needs to be replicated repeatedly with comparable analyses and new data to increase the collective confidence in the veracity of those claims. Large replication projects in psychology and cancer biology have evaluated the replicability of their fields but no collaborative effort has been undertaken in sports and exercise science. We propose to undertake such an effort here.

Training and technique choices predict self-reported running injuries: An international study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the self-reported injury, training, and running technique choices of regular runners in four international regions.

Design And Setting: 756 participants began an expert derived self-report online survey in Ireland, USA, Hong Kong and Australia.

Participants: 325 participants completed the survey (age = 38 ± 10 years; weight = 68.

Transitioning to Minimal Footwear: a Systematic Review of Methods and Future Clinical Recommendations.

Background: Recent interest in barefoot running has led to the development of minimalist running shoes that are popular in distance runners. A careful transition to these shoes has been suggested and examined in the literature. However, no guidelines based on systematic evidence have been presented.

Kinetic changes during a six-week minimal footwear and gait-retraining intervention in runners.

An evaluation of a six-week Combined minimal footwear transition and gait-retraining combination vs. gait retraining only on impact characteristics and leg stiffness. Twenty-four trained male runners were randomly assigned to either (1) Minimalist footwear transition Combined with gait-retraining over a six-week period ("Combined" group; n = 12) examined in both footwear, or (2) a gait-retraining group only with no minimalist footwear exposure ("Control"; n = 12).

Eight weeks gait retraining in minimalist footwear has no effect on running economy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of an eight week combined minimalist footwear (MFW) and gait-retraining intervention on running economy (RE) and kinematics in conventional footwear runners.

Methods: Twenty-three trained male runners (age: 43 ± 10 years, stature: 177.2 ± 9.
