The effect of the branched-chain amino acids on the in-vitro activity of bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase (2018)
Journal Article
Boyd, G. W., Drew, M., Ward, S., Baird, M., Graham, S. M., & Connaboy, C. (2018). The effect of the branched-chain amino acids on the in-vitro activity of bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase. Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, https://doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2018-0449

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are used as nutritional support for patients with a range of conditions including liver cirrhosis and in-born errors of amino acid metabolism, and are commonly used “sports”/exercise supplements. The effects of the B... Read More about The effect of the branched-chain amino acids on the in-vitro activity of bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase.

Comparison of Heart Rate Responses Between Coronary Heart Disease and Age-Matched Normal Subjects in Water-and Land-Based Exercise: A Pilot Study (2017)
Journal Article
Graham, S. M., Baird, M. F., Connaboy, C., & Thow, M. (2017). Comparison of Heart Rate Responses Between Coronary Heart Disease and Age-Matched Normal Subjects in Water-and Land-Based Exercise: A Pilot Study. Journal of Aquatic Physical Therapy, 25(2), 1-6

Background and purpose. Exercise therapy is an integral component of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Currently, land-based exercise classes are prescribed in Phase IV CR. However, with its unique properties, water-based exercise potentially offers an al...

Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females (2017)
Journal Article
Graham, W. M., Grace, F., Sculthorpe, N., Baker, J., Connaboy, C., & Baird, M. F. (2017). Validation of a 6-s Cycle Ergometry Sprint to Measure Peak Power in Recreationally Active Females. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 49(5S), 602-602. https://doi.org/10.1249/01.mss.0000518575.26019.c4

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...

Creatine supplementation and exercise as possible therapeutic treatments in Parkinson’s Disease: A review (2014)
Journal Article
Graham, S. M., Baird, M., & Boyd, G. W. (2014). Creatine supplementation and exercise as possible therapeutic treatments in Parkinson’s Disease: A review. Archives of Exercise in Health and Disease, 4(3), 286-298. https://doi.org/10.5628/aehd.v4i3.169

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative condition after Alzheimer’s Disease. It is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain. Symptoms and signs m...

An Investigation Into The Effectiveness Of Ratings Of Perceived Exertion In Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise (2014)
Journal Article
Graham, S. M., Martindale, R., Baird, M., Thow, M., & McKinley, M. (2014). An Investigation Into The Effectiveness Of Ratings Of Perceived Exertion In Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 46(5S), 690. https://doi.org/10.1249/01.mss.0000495543.08639.fd

INTRODUCTION: Within Scotland, Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase IV (CRIV) exercise classes are widely utilised to deliver community-based exercise utilising traditional circuit type exercise for both genders. Currently no gender specific rating of percei... Read More about An Investigation Into The Effectiveness Of Ratings Of Perceived Exertion In Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise.

Creatine-Kinase- and exercise-related muscle damage implications for muscle performance and recovery (2012)
Journal Article

The appearance of creatine kinase (CK) in blood has been generally considered to be an indirect marker of muscle damage, particularly for diagnosis of medical conditions such as myocardial infarction, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral diseases. Howeve... Read More about Creatine-Kinase- and exercise-related muscle damage implications for muscle performance and recovery.
