Training diagnosis for a load carriage taskAlun G Williams
Department of Exercise and Sport Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager, UK
J Strength Cond Res 18:30-4. 2004..Stronger subjects with lower endurance responded better to Circuits. Resistance tended to show the opposite effect (p < 0.2).

Institute for Performance Research, Manchester Metropolitan University, Crewe, UK
J Sports Sci 29:1425-34. 2011..Future research should aim to replicate more genotype-phenotype associations for muscular strength, because only five common genetic polymorphisms identified to date have positive replicated findings... - Influence of continuous and interval training on oxygen uptake on-kineticsNicolas J A Berger

Department of Exercise and Sport Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager, Aberdeen, UK
Med Sport Sci 54:176-86. 2009..There should be considerable further debate regarding these issues so that the tests already available, and the more powerful ones that are likely to emerge as knowledge and genetic technology improve, are only used in acceptable ways... - The adaptations to strength training : morphological and neurological contributions to increased strengthJonathan P Folland
School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK
Sports Med 37:145-68. 2007..Whilst the neurological factors may make their greatest contribution during the early stages of a training programme, hypertrophic processes also commence at the onset of training... - No correlation between circulating ACE activity and VO2max or mechanical efficiency in womenStephen H Day
