Criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability of the 20 m Square Shuttle Test
(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). ...
Passive smoking, asthma and allergy in children
(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 ...
Prevalence of Low Bone Mineral Density in Female Dancers
(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 ...
Enhancing the efficacy of the 20 m multistage shuttle run test
(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 ...
A brief exposure to moderate passive smoke increases metabolism and thyroid hormone secretion
(2007)
Context: Active smoking influences normal metabolic status and thyroid function. Objective: The objective was to assess experimentally the effects of 1 h of moderate passive smoking in a controlled simulated bar/ restaurant ...
Prediction of (V) over dotO(2max) from a new field test based on portable indirect calorimetry
(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 ...
Sexual dimorphism in the acute effects of secondhand smoke on thyroid hormone secretion, inflammatory markers and vascular function
(2008)
Experimental evidence for the physiological effects of secondhand smoke (SHS) is limited, although it affects millions of people globally and its prevalence is increasing, despite currently adopted antismoking measures. ...
Secondhand smoke exposure induces acutely airway acidification and oxidative stress
(2013)
Previous studies have shown that secondhand smoke induces lung function impairment and increases proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of secondhand smoke on airway ...
