An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period (2024)
Journal Article
Lithgow, H., Gibson, L., Wilson, R., Guthrie, N., Ingram-Sills, L., Clifford, T., & Ross, M. (online). An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period. European Journal of Applied Physiology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-024-05677-y

Purpose Exercise is known to acutely affect T-lymphocyte populations in the peripheral blood, which is intensity- and duration-dependent. However, effects of longer duration endurance exercise (>5 h) on T-cells in the days following are unknown. The...

The Influence of Menstruation on Training Schedules in Well-Trained and Elite Female Mountain Bike, Road and Cyclocross Athletes (2023)
Journal Article
Aitkenhead, R., Kirkwood, L., Florida-James, G., & Ingram-Sills, L. (2023). The Influence of Menstruation on Training Schedules in Well-Trained and Elite Female Mountain Bike, Road and Cyclocross Athletes. Journal of Applied Sports Sciences, 2, 62-75. https://doi.org/10.37393/JASS.2023.02.6

Female physiology is unique and driven by fluctuations in sex hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. These hormones present myriad mechanisms that may influence physiological systems, potentially implicating exercise performance. However, resear...
