Enduro mountain bike racing is composed of several timed predominantly downhill race stages linked by time restricted, non-competitive transition stages. This study aimed to 1) detail and compare the laboratory assessed physiological characteristics... Read More about Physiological characteristics and performance in elite enduro mountain biking.

Lower Resting and Exercise-Induced Circulating Angiogenic Progenitors and Angiogenic T-Cells in Older Men (2017)
Journal Article
Ross, M. D., Malone, E. M., Simpson, R., Cranston, I., Ingram, L., Wright, G. P., …Florida-James, G. D. (2018). Lower Resting and Exercise-Induced Circulating Angiogenic Progenitors and Angiogenic T-Cells in Older Men. American journal of physiology. He

Ageing is associated with a dysfunctional endothelial phenotype, as well as reduced angiogenic capabilities. Exercise exerts beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, possibly by increasing/maintaining the number and/or function of circulating...

Anticipation and the cortisol awakening response within a dynamic psychosocial work environment (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Campbell, T., Westbury, T., Davison, R., & Florida-James, G. (2017, October). Anticipation and the cortisol awakening response within a dynamic psychosocial work environment. Poster presented at Society for Psychophysiological Research - 57th Annual Meeti

The cortisol awakening response (CAR) is a distinct element of the diurnal pattern of cortisol release, believed to be partly driven by the anticipation of the demands of the upcoming day. Although evidence suggests that the response may be associate... Read More about Anticipation and the cortisol awakening response within a dynamic psychosocial work environment.

A case study investigation or the autonomic and endocrine response to psychosocial demand in the workplace. (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Campbell, T., Westbury, T., Davison, R., & Florida-James, G. (2017, July). A case study investigation or the autonomic and endocrine response to psychosocial demand in the workplace. Paper presented at 38th Annual Conferenec of the Stress and Anxiety Rese

Purpose: To investigate the effect of acute day-to-day psychosocial work characteristics upon the autonomic and endocrine stress response. Design: The study employed a single case study design to measure 24 hour ambulatory heart rate variability (...

Assessment of occupational stress in higher education employees through the cortisol awakening response. (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Campbell, T., Westbury, T., Davison, R., & Florida-James, G. (2017, July). Assessment of occupational stress in higher education employees through the cortisol awakening response. Poster presented at STAR Conference 2017

Purpose: Although the cortisol awakening response (CAR) has been used to investigate occupational stress among various professions there are limitations to the interpretation of findings obtained through cross-sectional approaches. The aim of this st... Read More about Assessment of occupational stress in higher education employees through the cortisol awakening response..

The combined effect of high‐intensity intermittent training and vitamin D supplementation on glycemic control in overweight and obese adults (2017)
Presentation / Conference
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...
