Early life mammalian biology and later life physical performance: maximising physiological adaptation
Carrillo, A. E.; Koutedakis, Y.; Flouris, A. D. (2011)The malleability of mammalian biology during early life, which carries considerable weight throughout the course of the lifespan, may contribute to the creation of a human phenotype ideal for prime physical performance. ... -
The effect of performance feedback on cardiorespiratory fitness field tests
Metsios, G. S.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y.; Theodorakis, Y. (2006)We investigated the effects of performance feedback (PF) on predicting maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) using the 20 m Multistage Shuttle Run Test (MST) and 20 m Square Shuttle Test (SST). The agreement between these two ... -
Effectiveness of cold water immersion for treating exertional heat stress when immediate response is not possible
Flouris, A. D.; Friesen, B. J.; Carlson, M. J.; Casa, D. J.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)Immediate treatment with cold water immersion (CWI) is the gold standard for exertional heatstroke. In the field, however, treatment is often delayed due to delayed paramedic response and/or inaccurate diagnosis. We examined ... -
Effects of active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking on heart rate variability
Dinas, P. C.; Koutedakis, Y.; Flouris, A. D. (2013)Given the widespread incidence of smoking as well as its deleterious health effects, it is crucial to examine practical and cost effective prognostic markers assessing its health impact. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a ... -
Effects of exercise and physical activity on depression
Dinas, P. C.; Koutedakis, Y.; Flouris, A. D. (2011)Depression is a very prevalent mental disorder affecting 340 million people globally and is projected to become the leading cause of disability and the second leading contributor to the global burden of disease by the year ... -
Enhancing specificity in proxy-design for the assessment of bioenergetics
Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y.; Nevill, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Tsiotra, G.; Parasiris, Y. (2004)The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that improved prediction of bioenergeties may be achieved when proxies are designed to simulate closely gold standard laboratory protocols. To accomplish this, a ... -
Enhancing the efficacy of the 20 m multistage shuttle run test
Flouris, A. D.; Metsios, G. S.; Koutedakis, Y. (2005)Objective: Maximal oxygen uptake ( Vo(2max)) of 44 ml kg(-1) min(-1) is an accepted criterion (Vo(2CR)) below which health and fitness for young male adults may be compromised. New algorithms validated for Vo2CR screening ... -
An Evaluation of the Physiological Strain Experienced by Electrical Utility Workers in North America
Meade, R. D.; Lauzon, M.; Poirier, M. P.; Flouris, A. D.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)The purpose of this study was to assess the physiological strain experienced by North American electrical utility workers during the performance of their normal work duties in heat stressed conditions. Three common job ... -
EXERCISE AND EXPOSURE TO HEAT FOLLOWING BOVINE COLOSTRUM SUPPLEMENTATION: A REVIEW OF GASTROINTESTINAL AND IMMUNE FUNCTION
Carrillo, A. E.; Koutedakis, Y.; Flouris, A. D. (2013)Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammalian mothers and is essential for the health and survival of the newborn. Bovine colostrum (BC) has greater concentrations of the bioactive components (i.e. immune and growth ... -
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
Flouris, A. D.; Dinas, P. C.; Tzatzarakis, M. N.; Metsios, G. S.; Kostikas, K.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Koutedakis, Y. (2014)Recent trials demonstrated that a single brief exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) generates acute adverse health effects. We evaluated the acute (immediately after exposure) and short-term (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after ... -
Human behavioral thermoregulation during exercise in the heat
Flouris, A. D.; Schlader, Z. J. (2015)The human capacity to perform prolonged exercise is impaired in hot environments. To address this issue, a number of studies have investigated behavioral aspects of thermoregulation that are recognized as important factors ... -
Human intrauterine growth and early development are associated with the seasons of conception and birth

Immediate and short-term consequences of secondhand smoke exposure on the respiratory system
Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y. (2011)Purpose of review This review critically evaluates the existing biological evidence regarding the immediate and short-term respiratory consequences of secondhand smoke (SHS). Recent findings A 1-h exposure to SHS at ... -
