Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, W. M., Grace, F., Sculthorpe, N., Baker, J., Connaboy, C., & Baird, M. F. Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females

The 30-s Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT30) is frequently used to determine peak anaerobic power (PP). When PP, which is generally achieved within the first 5-s is the primary measure of interest, there may be no advantage in completing a 30-s test. It...

The combined effect of high‐intensity intermittent training and vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leggate, M., Lithgow, H., & Florida-James, G. (2017, May). The combined effect of high‐intensity intermittent training and vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults. Poster presented at Cell Symposia: Exercise Metabolism, Gothenburg, Sweden

The aim of this study was to investigate if there was a synergistic effect of high intensity intermittent training (HIIT) and vitamin D3 supplementation on glycaemic control. Twenty participants (age, 34±9y; BMI, 31.4±2.8 kg·m-2) completed 6 weeks HI...

Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, J., Baudel, M., Rae, M., Darlison, M., & Poole, A. (2017, April). Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia. Poster presented at British Neuroscience Association - festival of neuroscience 2017

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Blockage, or occlusion, of cerebral arteries causes irreversible neuronal damage as disrupted blood flow starves neurones of oxygen and glucose. The hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are mas...

The expression of the chloride co-transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 is reversed in the penumbra following (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baudel, M., Rae, M., Fraser, J., & Poole, A. (2017). The expression of the chloride co-transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 is reversed in the penumbra following. In Brain and Neuroscience: BNA 2017 Festival of Neuroscience: Abstract Book

Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. The harm caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain unfolds in the subsequent hours and days, so it is critical to identify new therapeutic targets that could reduce neur...

Preventative risk factors for osteoarthritis in Great Britain's Olympians (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, D., Batt, M., Scammell, B., & Palmer-Green, D. (2017, March). Preventative risk factors for osteoarthritis in Great Britain's Olympians. Presented at 5th IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury and Illness in Sport, Monaco

Background: Relatively little is known about the risk factors associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in Olympic athletes. As the first step towards prevention, knowledge of preventative/modifiable risk factors are needed. Objective: To examine injury...

Ethical dilemma: codes of practice, why they don't work and why we need them. (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neill, C. (2017, March). Ethical dilemma: codes of practice, why they don't work and why we need them. Presented at Can I Really Do This?, London

The very term ‘ethics’ falters unhelpfully in its usage. On a common sense level, we all know what we mean when we hear or use the term but in practice it signifies both a mode of responding and, increasingly, a set of guidelines or strictures which...

Introduction. The paper presents a critical analysis of the extant literature pertaining to the networking behaviour of young jobseekers in both offline and online environments. A framework derived from information behaviour theory is proposed as a b... Read More about The role of networking and social media tools during job search: an information behaviour perspective.

Recruitment of inflammatory monocytes after liver transplantation and correlation with clinical outcome (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robertson, F., Male, V., Wright, G., Fuller, B., & Davidson, B. (2017, February). Recruitment of inflammatory monocytes after liver transplantation and correlation with clinical outcome

Background Ischaemia reperfusion injury is a key cause of mortality and graft loss after liver transplantation. After tissue injury, monocytes are rapidly mobilised and recruited to injured tissue by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Eleva...
