Identifying field measures to estimate backpack load-carriage work intensity in elite soldiers is of interest to the military. This study developed rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate models to define metabolic workload for a backpack l...

The impact of acute strenuous exercise on TLR2, TLR4 and HLA.DR expression on human blood monocytes induced by autologous serum (2010)
Journal Article
Florida-James, G. D., McFarlin, B. K., O’Connor, D. P., Simpson, R. J., Booth, S., Florida-James, G., …Simpson, R. J. (2010). The impact of acute strenuous exercise on TLR2, TLR4 and HLA.DR expression on human blood monocytes induced by autologous serum. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 110(6), 1259-1268. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-010-1616-2

Acute exercise alters the surface expression of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and HLA.DR on blood monocytes, which could transiently compromise immunity. As serum factors might be responsible, we examined the effects of autologous post-exercise serum ex...

Investigating performance and lung function in a hot, humid and ozone-polluted environment (2010)
Journal Article
Gomes, E. C., Stone, V., & Florida-James, G. (2010). Investigating performance and lung function in a hot, humid and ozone-polluted environment. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 110(1), 199-205. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-010-1485-8

Large urbanized areas, where sports events take place, have a polluted environment and can also reach high temperatures and humidity levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a hot, humid and ozone-polluted (O3) environment on (1...
