Cigarette smoking associates with body weight and muscle mass of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional, observational study
(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 ...
Anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha therapy improves insulin sensitivity in normal-weight but not in obese patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2012)
Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR), a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, is common among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammation, and especially tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF ...
Obesity in rheumatoid arthritis
(2011)
Obesity is a major threat for public health and its study has attracted significant attention in the general population, predominantly due to its association with significant metabolic and cardiovascular complications. In ...
Associations of obesity with modifiable risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2009)
Objectives: To assess the association of body mass index (BMI) with modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: BMI, disease activity, selected CVD risk factors ...
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 ...
The effects of muscle damage following eccentric exercise on gait biomechanics
(2007)
To examine the effects of knee extensors muscle damage on walking and running biomechanics in healthy males. Muscle damage was caused by 60 (6 x 10) maximal eccentric knee flexions of both legs, selected in a random order, ...
The Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Muscle Function and Proprioception of Individuals Being Overweight and Underweight
(2013)
Paschalis, V, Nikolaidis, MG, Theodorou, AA, Deli, CK, Raso, V, Jamurtas, AZ, Giakas, G, and Koutedakis, Y. The effects of eccentric exercise on muscle function and proprioception of individuals being overweight and ...
Dance as an Eccentric Form of Exercise: Practical Implications
(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 ...
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARMS AND LEGS ON POSITION SENSE AND JOINT REACTION ANGLE
(2009)
Paschalis, V, Nikolaidis, MG, Giakas, G, Jamurtas, AZ, and Koutedakis, Y. Differences between arms and legs on position sense and joint reaction angle. J Strength Cond Res 23(6): 1652-1655, 2009-The purpose of the present ...
