School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, UK
Pediatr Int 54:911-7. 2012..The aim of this study was to determine if a low-cost school- and community-centered sports coaching program was able to improve health-related fitness in children... - Screen time and passive school travel as independent predictors of cardiorespiratory fitness in youthGavin R H Sandercock

University of Essex, Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, UK
J Sports Sci 30:679-87. 2012..The two cut-offs used for low fitness did not agree and future research should establish a cut-off for test performance which can predict present or future ill-health... - Comparison of cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index between rural and urban youth: findings from the East of England Healthy Hearts StudyGavin R H Sandercock
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, UK
Pediatr Int 53:718-24. 2011..The aim of the present study was to determine if there were differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body mass index (BMI) in rural versus urban youth... - Associations between habitual school-day breakfast consumption, body mass index, physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in English schoolchildrenG R H Sandercock
Department of Biological Sciences, Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, University of Essex, Colchester, UK
Eur J Clin Nutr 64:1086-92. 2010..The aim of this study was to assess associations between habitual school-day breakfast consumption, body mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)... 
Changes in short-term measures of heart rate variability after eight weeks of cardiac rehabilitationGavin R H Sandercock
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, UK
Clin Auton Res 17:39-45. 2007..Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is a risk factor for future cardiac event. Studies reporting changes in HRV post-cardiac rehabilitation (CR) are heterogeneous, due possibly to varied data collection and analysis protocols...- The relationships between self-assessed habitual physical activity and non-invasive measures of cardiac autonomic modulation in young healthy volunteersGavin R H Sandercock
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, UK
J Sports Sci 26:1171-7. 2008..The mechanism linking habitual physical activity and RR-interval length appears to be independent of physiological mechanisms that can be measured by heart rate variability... - Normative values, reliability and sample size estimates in heart rate variabilityGavin Sandercock
School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, Essex, UK
Clin Sci (Lond) 113:129-30. 2007.... - Twenty-metre shuttle run test performance of English children aged 11-15 years in 2007: comparisons with international standardsGavin Sandercock
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, UK
J Sports Sci 26:953-7. 2008..Differences in performance index may be due to the different geographical areas from which present and past samples were drawn. Reasons for differences in the performance indices between boys and girls warrant further investigation... - Does the twenty meter shuttle-run test elicit maximal effort in 11- to 16-year-olds?Christine Voss
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, UK
Pediatr Exerc Sci 21:55-62. 2009..Peak HR values (196 bpm) were higher than cited criterion values (185 bpm) for maximal effort in laboratory studies. In a naturalistic setting, the 20m shuttle-run test elicits a maximal effort in most children... - Pacing strategy in schoolchildren differs with age and cognitive developmentDominic Micklewright
