Aerobic fitness and mode of travel to school in English schoolchildrenChristine Voss
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, United Kingdom
Med Sci Sports Exerc 42:281-7. 2010..The aim of the present study was to determine whether a positive association exists between active travel and aerobic fitness in English schoolchildren, where cycling to school is rare...- Recreational cycling and cardiorespiratory fitness in English youthMark S Maher
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, University of Essex, Colchester, United Kingdom
Med Sci Sports Exerc 44:474-80. 2012..Schoolchildren who cycle to school have higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) than those who are driven or use public transport. The purpose of this study was to determine whether recreational cycling is similarly associated with CRF... - Centile curves and normative values for the twenty metre shuttle-run test in English schoolchildrenGavin 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... 
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...- 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... - Screen time and physical activity in youth: thief of time or lifestyle choice?R H Sandercock G
Dept of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, Essex, UK
J Phys Act Health 9:977-84. 2012..This study aimed to examine the relationship between screen time and physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents but also to determine specific elements of PA that were most closely associated with screen time... - Vertical jumping and leg power normative data for English school children aged 10-15 yearsMatthew J D Taylor
Centre for Sports and Exercise Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, UK
J Sports Sci 28:867-72. 2010..For females, jump height and predicted peak leg power reached a plateau after age 12 and 13 years respectively. This study provides normative data that can be used as a tool to classify jumping performance in children aged 10-15 years... - Screen time and physical activity in youth: thief of time or lifestyle choice?R H Sandercock G
Dept of Biological Sciences, University of Essex, Colchester, Essex, UK
J Phys Act Health 9:977-84. 2012..This study aimed to examine the relationship between screen time and physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents but also to determine specific elements of PA that were most closely associated with screen time...
