Cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical activity following exposure to a typical smoking environment
Flouris, A. D.; Metsios, G. S.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Koutedakis, Y. (2010)Objective Millions of non-smokers suffer daily passive smoking (PS) at home or at work, many of whom then have to walk fast for several minutes or climb a few sets of stairs. We conducted a randomised single-blind crossover ... -
Cigarette smoking associates with body weight and muscle mass of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional, observational study
Stavropoulos-Kalinoglou, A.; Metsios, G. S.; Panoulas, V. F.; Douglas, K. M. J.; Nevill, A. M.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Kita, M.; Koutedakis, Y.; Kitas, G. D. (2008)Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with altered metabolism leading to muscle wasting. In the general population, cigarette smoking is known to affect body composition by reducing fat and inhibiting muscle ... -

Comparison between leg and arm eccentric exercises of the same relative intensity on indices of muscle damage
Jamurtas, A. Z.; Theocharis, V.; Tofas, T.; Tsiokanos, A.; Yfanti, C.; Paschalis, V.; Koutedakis, Y.; Nosaka, K. (2005)Many exercise models have demonstrated associations between eccentric muscle actions and muscle damage. However, the magnitude of muscle damage varies among the models. It appears that responses to eccentric exercise are ... -
A comparison of developmental coordination disorder prevalence rates in Canadian and Greek children
Tsiotra, G. D.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y.; Faught, B. E.; Nevill, A. M.; Lane, A. M.; Skenteris, N. (2006)We examined whether lifestyle differences between Canadian and Greek children may be reflected in Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) prevalence rates. Data revealed that the relatively inactive Greek children ... -

Contribution of muscular strength in cardiorespiratory fitness tests
Flouris, A. D.; Metsios, G. S.; Koutedakis, Y. (2006)Aim. Reports from laboratory-based studies have revealed a relationship between resistance training and endurance performance in both trained and untrained individuals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate ... -
Criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability of the 20 m Square Shuttle Test
Metsios, G. S.; Flouris, A. D.; Koutedakis, Y.; Nevill, A. (2008)We assessed validity and reliability of the new 20 m square shuttle run test (SST) for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (over(V, ̇) O2 max) and compared it with its predecessor, the 20 m Multistage Shuttle Run Test (MST). ... -

Dance as an Eccentric Form of Exercise: Practical Implications
Paschalis, V.; Nikolaidis, M. G.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Owolabi, E. O.; Kitas, G. D.; Wyon, M. A.; Koutedakis, Y. (2012)The eccentric action is an integral part of the stretch-shortening (or eccentric-concentric) cycle of muscle movement, especially when repositioning of the centre of gravity is required. Jumps and landing tasks are examples ... -
