The effects of age and acute aerobic and resistance exercise on circulating T lymphocyte vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in healthy males (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leggate, M., Florida-James, G., Ross, M., Jurevicius, M., Duncan, G., & Lithgow, H. (2019, December). The effects of age and acute aerobic and resistance exercise on circulating T lymphocyte vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression in healthy males. Presented at Future Physiology, Liverpool, UK

A low vitamin D status has been identified as an association risk factor in the etiology of numerous chronic diseases, with older adults identified as generally more deficient than younger populations. Exercise has been shown to act as a direct and i...

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...
