Purpose: The present study examined the impact of repeated bouts of prolonged (< 60 min) exercise on left ventricular function and cardiac biomarkers. Methods: Ten athletes completed a 15.3-mile hill run on three consecutive days and were assessed... Read More about Impact of repeated prolonged exercise bouts on cardiac function and biomarkers..

The effects of marathon running on expression of the complement regulatory proteins CD55 (DAF) and CD59 (MACIF) on red blood cells. (2007)
Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Florida-James, G., Whyte, G. P., Middleton, N., Shave, R., George, K., & Guy, K. (2007). The effects of marathon running on expression of the complement regulatory proteins CD55 (DAF) and CD59 (MACIF) on red blood cells. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 99, 201-204. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-006-0326-2

Exercise is known to result in the haemolysis of red blood cells (RBCs). Although mechanical stressors such as footstrike and an increased velocity of blood flow may be involved, the biological mechanisms that underpin RBC haemolysis remain elusive....

Physiological variables and performance markers of serving soldiers from two “elite” units of the British Army. (2006)
Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Gray, S., & Florida-James, G. (2006). Physiological variables and performance markers of serving soldiers from two “elite” units of the British Army. Journal of Sports Sciences, 24, 597-604. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640410500230811

The aim of this study was to compare selected physiological variables and performance markers of soldiers from two “elite” units of the British Army. Ten soldiers from each of the two units were recruited for this study (n = 20). All participants com...

Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Florida-James, G., Whyte, G. P., & Guy, K. (2006). The effects of intensive, moderate and downhill treadmill running on human blood lymphocytes expressing the adhesion/activation molecules CD54 (ICAM-1), CD18 (β2 integrin) and CD53. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 97, 109-121. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-006-0146-4

This study examined the effects of intensive, moderate and downhill treadmill running on blood lymphocyte expression of adhesion/activation (AA) molecules. Trained subjects completed three treadmill-running protocols of identical duration: (1) an int...

Immune alterations, lipid peroxidation, and muscle damage following a hill race. (2005)
Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Wilson, M. R., Black, J., Ross, J. A., Whyte, G. P., Guy, K., & Florida-James, G. (2005). Immune alterations, lipid peroxidation, and muscle damage following a hill race. Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 30(2), 196-211. https://doi.

Hill races usually include large downhill running sections, which can induce significant degrees of muscle damage in a field setting. This study examined the link between muscle damage, oxidative stress, and immune perturbations following a 7-km moun...

Athens 2004: the pollution climate and athletic performance (2004)
Journal Article
Florida-James, G., Donaldson, K., & Stone, V. (2004). Athens 2004: the pollution climate and athletic performance. Journal of Sports Sciences, 22(10), 967-980. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640410400000272

Athens sits in a basin approximately 450 [km.sup.2] in area, surrounded by mountains and open sea. Anthropogenic emissions in conjunction with the topographical and meteorological conditions can result in high air pollution within the city. The pollu...

Effects of Nocturnal Shiftwork on Mood States of Student Nurses (1996)
Journal Article
Florida-james, G., Wallymahmed, A., & Reilly, T. (1996). Effects of Nocturnal Shiftwork on Mood States of Student Nurses. Chronobiology International, 13(1), 59-69. https://doi.org/10.3109/07420529609040842

Daily mood changes were monitored over successive 24-h periods using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) (3) to assess the effect of nocturnal shiftwork on mood. Twenty-three student nurses, age range 19-24 years, were studied throughout their first ex... Read More about Effects of Nocturnal Shiftwork on Mood States of Student Nurses.
