New Look SportDiscus

You may have noticed that SportDiscus has been upgraded with a fresher, more 'state of the art' design. The previous functionality remains much the same e.g. you can limit your results to peer-reviewed literature.

If you set up an 'account' while the previous version was livew, your password is still valid - you may want to set one up to enable you to retrieve results between sessions and re-run previous searches.

Note you can opt to search for keywords within the full-text of some articles as well as within references and abstracts.

Please do contact me if you would like any assistance with this database.
