Age, human performance, and physical employment standards
(2016)The proportion of older workers has increased substantially in recent years, with over 25% of the Canadian labour force aged ≥55 years. Along with chronological age comes age-related declines in functional capacity associated ... -
Aquaticity: A discussion of the term and of how it applies to humans
(2016)The relationship between humans and water and the effects on aspects related to human performance has never been studied scientifically. The aim of the current systematic review is to attempt to define the term "aquaticity", ... -
Browning formation markers of subcutaneous adipose tissue in relation to resting energy expenditure, physical activity and diet in humans
(2017)Regular exercise and diet may contribute to white adipose tissue (WAT) conversion into a brown adipose-like phenotype that may increase resting energy expenditure (REE), leading to weight loss. We examined the relationship ... -
Disparate habitual physical activity and dietary intake profiles of elderly men with low and elevated systemic inflammation
(2018)The development of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation in the elderly (inflammaging) has been associated with increased incidence of chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments. The aim of this ... -
The effects of an olive fruit polyphenol-enriched yogurt on body composition, blood redox status, physiological and metabolic parameters and yogurt microflora
(2016)In the present study we investigated the effects of an olive polyphenol-enriched yogurt on yogurt microflora, as well as hematological, physiological and metabolic parameters, blood redox status and body composition. In a ... -
Effects of dietary grape pomace supplementation on performance, carcass traits and meat quality of lambs
(2018)Background/Aim: A previous study revealed that the inclusion of grape pomace (GP) in the diet for growing lambs had beneficial effects on the redox status and fecal microbiota. Herein, we investigated the effect of GP ... -
The effects of specific omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins on gait and functional capacity parameters in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
(2021)Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are characterized by, among other symptoms, impaired functional capacity and walking difficulties. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been found to improve MS patients’ clinical ... -
Effects of two workload-matched high-intensity interval training protocols on regional body composition and fat oxidation in obese men
(2021)The effects of two high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on regional body composition and fat oxidation in men with obesity were compared using a parallel randomized design. Sixteen inactive males (age, 38.9 ± ... -

Health-Promoting Effects of a Concurrent Workplace Training Program in Inactive Office Workers (HealPWorkers): A Randomized Controlled Study
(2020)Purpose: To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has examined the health-promoting effects of a daily supervised concurrent workplace training program in inactive office workers. The main objective of this study ... -
Health-Promoting Effects of Serial vsIntegrated Combined Strength and Aerobic Training
(2017)Combined strength and aerobic training programs are widely used for improving markers of physical fitness and health. We compared the efficiency of a serial and an integrated combined training program on health and overall ... -
Physiology of activins/follistatins: associations with metabolic and anthropometric variables and response to exercise
(2018)Context: Clinical trials are evaluating the efficacy of inhibitors of the myostatin pathway in neuromuscular and metabolic diseases. Activins and follistatins are major regulators of the myostatin pathway, but their ... -
Restless legs syndrome in Multiple Sclerosis patients: a contributing factor for fatigue, impaired functional capacity, and diminished health-related quality of life
(2018)Objectives Restless legs syndrome (RLS) symptoms are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim of the current study was to examine for the first time whether RLS could affect the functional capacity and various ... -
