Non-invasive measurement of tibialis anterior muscle temperature during rest, cycling exercise and post-exercise recovery
Flouris, A. D.; Dinas, P. C.; Tsitoglou, K.; Patramani, I.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)We introduce a non-invasive and accurate method to assess tibialis anterior muscle temperature (Tm) during rest, cycling exercise, and post-exercise recovery using the insulation disk (INDISK) technique. Twenty-six healthy ... -
Noninvasive assessment of muscle temperature during rest, exercise, and postexercise recovery in different environments
Flouris, A. D.; Webb, P.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)We introduced noninvasive and accurate techniques to estimate muscle temperature (Tm) of vastus lateralis (VL), triceps brachii (TB), and trapezius (TRAP) during rest, exercise, and postexercise recovery using the insulation ... -
Older Firefighters Are Susceptible to Age-Related Impairments in Heat Dissipation
Kenny, G. P.; Larose, J.; Wright-Beatty, H. E.; Boulay, P.; Sigal, R. J.; Flouris, A. D. (2015)Purpose: The aging-induced reduction inwhole-body heat loss (H-L) capacity generates concerns regarding the continued participation of older workers in occupations such as firefighting. We compared H-L and change in body ... -
Passive smoking, asthma and allergy in children
Metsios, G. S.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y. (2009)Despite the recent campaigns to eliminate smoking and hinder the detrimental effects of passive smoking (PS), actual smoking rates still increase worldwide. Several physiological systems, with the respiratory being the ... -
Prediction of (V) over dotO(2max) from a new field test based on portable indirect calorimetry
Flouris, A. D.; Metsios, G. S.; Famisis, K.; Geladas, N.; Koutedakis, Y. (2010)We assessed the validity and reliability of the new 15 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting laboratory treadmill test (TT) maximal oxygen uptake ((V) over dotO(2max)) compared to the 20 in multistage shuttle run ... -
Prevalence of Low Bone Mineral Density in Female Dancers
Amorim, T.; Wyon, M.; Maia, J.; Machado, J. C.; Marques, F.; Metsios, G. S.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y. (2015)Background and Objective While some authors report that dancers have reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporosis, others have stressed the positive effects of dance training on developing healthy ... -
The relevance of stretch intensity and position - a systematic review
Apostolopoulos, N.; Metsios, G. S.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y.; Wyon, M. A. (2015)Stretching exercises to increase the range of motion (ROM) of joints have been used by sports coaches and medical professionals for improving performance and rehabilitation. The ability of connective and muscular tissues ... -
Respiratory and Immune Response to Maximal Physical Exertion following Exposure to Secondhand Smoke in Healthy Adults
Flouris, A. D.; Metsios, G. S.; Carrill, A. E.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Stivaktakis, P. D.; Tzatzarakis, M. N.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Koutedakis, Y. (2012)We assessed the cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical exertion following secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure through a randomized crossover experiment. Data were obtained from 16 (8 women) non-smoking adults during ... -
