(2007)Koutedakis, Y., H. Hukam, G. Metsios, A. Nevill, G. Giakas, A. Jamurtas, and L. Myszkewycz. The effects of three months of aerobic and strength training on selected performance- and fitness-related parameters in modern ... -
Enhancing specificity in proxy-design for the assessment of bioenergetics
(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 ... -
An Evaluation of the Physiological Strain Experienced by Electrical Utility Workers in North America
(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 Training and Depression in ESRD: A Review
(2013)Depression, a mental disorder with a high personal, societal, and economic impact, affects at least 20-30% of patients receiving hemodialysis therapy. It is associated with a high mortality rate, low adherence to medication, ... -
Exertional Hypoxemia in Stable COPD Is Common and Predicted by Circulating Proadrenomedullin
(2014)BACKGROUND: The prevalence of exertional hypoxemia in unselected patients with COPD is unknown. Intermittent hypoxia leads to adrenomedullin (ADM) upregulation through the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 pathway. We aimed to ... -
Favorable and prolonged changes in blood lipid profile after muscle-damaging exercise
(2008)Purpose: To examine the effect of repeated muscle-damaging exercise on the time-course changes in blood lipid and lipoprotein profile and compare them with changes in indices of muscle function and damage. Methods: Twelve ... -
Goal orientations at the global level of generality and in physical education: Their association with self-regulation, affect, beliefs and behaviours
(2009)Objective: Life skills programs should ensure that their effects generalize across contexts and activities. Three studies are presented examining the construct validity of an instrument assessing global goal orientations ... -
Haemodialysis patients with sleep apnoea syndrome experience increased central adiposity and altered muscular composition and functionality
(2008)Background. Sleep apnoea frequently affects patients with end-stage renal disease. However, it is still unclear whether or to what extent sleep disorders may affect functional capacity and quality of life in haemodialysis ... -
Hematologic and biochemical profile of juvenile and adult athletes of both sexes: Implications for clinical evaluation
(2003)The aim of the present study was to compare the values of seventeen hematologic and biochemical parameters between juvenile and adult athletes and non-athletes of both sexes. 579 athletes and 241 non-athletes participated ... -
Increased oxidative stress indices in the blood of child swimmers
(2007)The blood redox status of child athletes is compared with that of age-matched untrained individuals. In the present study, 17 swimmers (10.1 +/- 1.6 years) and 12 non-athletes (9.9 +/- 1.1 years) participated. Reduced ... -
Individualised aerobic and resistance exercise training improves cardiorespiratory fitness and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2013)Background and objectives Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and interventions aiming at increasing CRF are known to reduce CVD risk. The effects of such ... -
