Objectives
This study examined older adults’ experiences of participating in the Ballistic Exercise of the Lower Limb (BELL) trial, involving 12-weeks of group-based hardstyle kettlebell training.
Methods
In the BELL trial, 28 insufficiently active older adults (15 women, 13 men, 59–79 years) completed six weeks of face-to-face group training, and...
The Ballistic Exercise of the Lower Limb (BELL) trial examined the efficacy and safety of a pragmatic hardstyle kettlebell training program in older adults. Insufficiently active men and women aged 59–79 years, were recruited to a 6-month repeated measures study, involving 3-months usual activity and 3-months progressive hardstyle kettlebell traini...
Background. Hardstyle kettlebell training is characterised by the ballistic two-handed kettlebell swing with outcomes believed to be strongly influenced by swing proficiency. This study examines the effect of four months hardstyle kettlebell training on the force profile of the two-handed kettlebell swing, and peak ground reaction force during a ke...
The purpose of this case study was to report clinically significant increases in bone mineral density (BMD) in a female and a male over 70 years of age with osteoporosis, following 16 weeks of hardstyle kettlebell training. Both case subjects were insufficiently active prior to participating in the BELL trial. Subjects trained five days a week accr...

Background: Understanding the mechanical demands of an exercise and its technique increases clinical confidence when assessing the benefits and risks of a prescribed exercise. This study profiles the mechanical demands of the hardstyle kettlebell swing in novice older adults and compares peak force with kettlebell deadlifts. These data will help th...
Background
The effects of hardstyle kettlebell training are frequently discussed in the strength and conditioning field, yet reference data from a proficient swing is scarce. The aim of this study was to profile the mechanical demands of a two-handed hardstyle swing performed by a Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) Instructor.

Background:
A scoping review of scientific literature on the effects of kettlebell training. There are no authoritative guidelines or recommendations for using kettlebells within a primary care setting. Our review objectives were to identify the extent, range and nature of the available evidence, to report on the types of evidence currently availa...
Projects
Project (1)
To establish the efficacy of kettlebell training as an ideal cost-effective prophylactic to promote healthy ageing in sedentary older adults. This project seeks to establish the efficacy of a pragmatic hardstyle kettlebell training program on measures of grip strength, health-related physical fitness and mental health in sedentary older adults.
