An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period (2024)
Journal Article
Lithgow, H., Gibson, L., Wilson, R., Guthrie, N., Ingram-Sills, L., Clifford, T., & Ross, M. (online). An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period. European Journal of Applied Physiology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-024-05677-y

Purpose Exercise is known to acutely affect T-lymphocyte populations in the peripheral blood, which is intensity- and
duration-dependent. However, effects of longer duration endurance exercise (>5 h) on T-cells in the days following are
unknown.... Read More about An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period.

The motivations, identities, and environmental sensibilities of contemporary e-mountain bike users (2024)
Book Chapter
Ingram-Sills, L. (2024). The motivations, identities, and environmental sensibilities of contemporary e-mountain bike users. In J. Cherrington (Ed.), Mountain Biking, Culture and Society. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003361626-5

During an era of rapid technological improvement, the demand for e-mountain biking is growing. Furthermore, an older demographic of rider participates in e-mountain biking in comparison to traditional mountain biking. This chapter explores the indivi...

The Influence of Menstruation on Training Schedules in Well-Trained and Elite Female Mountain Bike, Road and Cyclocross Athletes (2023)
Journal Article
Aitkenhead, R., Kirkwood, L., Florida-James, G., & Ingram-Sills, L. (2023). The Influence of Menstruation on Training Schedules in Well-Trained and Elite Female Mountain Bike, Road and Cyclocross Athletes. Journal of Applied Sports Sciences, 2, 62-75. https://doi.org/10.37393/JASS.2023.02.6

Female physiology is unique and driven by fluctuations in sex hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. These hormones present myriad mechanisms that may influence physiological systems, potentially implicating exercise performance. However, resear...

The future directions and trends for off road e-bike use and impact in Great Britain (2023)
Report
Ingram-Sills, L., Campbell, T., Kirkwood, L., & Florida-James, G. (2023). The future directions and trends for off road e-bike use and impact in Great Britain. British Cycling

The introduction of e-bikes into the cycling industry has resulted in a growing market, with sales demonstrating an increase exponentially over the last five years. Globally it is predicted that e-bikes will reach and potentially surpass 130 million... Read More about The future directions and trends for off road e-bike use and impact in Great Britain.

Influence of menstruation on training schedules in female mountain bike athletes (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aitkenhead, R., Kirkwood, L., Florida-James, G., & Ingram-Sills, L. (2022, April). Influence of menstruation on training schedules in female mountain bike athletes. Poster presented at The Biomedical Basis of Elite Performance 2022 (The Physiological Society), Nottingham

Female participation in elite sport is rising, the most recent Olympic games, Tokyo 2020, was the most gender-balanced games in history but research within female athletes is lacking. This study investigated if different phases of the menstrual cycle... Read More about Influence of menstruation on training schedules in female mountain bike athletes.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(9), Article 4603. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18094603

Introduction: Understanding the sport-specific immune response elicited during both training and competition is imperative to maximise athlete health and performance. Despite a growing population of professional enduro mountain bike athletes, little...

Older men display elevated levels of senescence-associated exercise-responsive CD28null angiogenic T cells compared with younger men (2018)
Journal Article
Ross, M., Ingram, L., Taylor, G., Malone, E., Simpson, R. J., West, D., & Florida-James, G. (2018). Older men display elevated levels of senescence-associated exercise-responsive CD28null angiogenic T cells compared with younger men. Physiological Reports, 6(12), Article e13697. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.13697

Aging is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk. As a result of aging, endothelial dysfunction develops, partly due to a reduction in vascular regenerative ability. CD31+ T-cells (angiogenic T-cells; TANG) possess highly angiogenic capa...
