Journal ArticleDOI
The health effects of exercising in air pollution.
Luisa V. Giles,Michael S. Koehle +1 more
TL;DR: This article highlights ways in which exercisers could mitigate the adverse health effects of air pollution exposure during exercise and draws attention to the potential importance of land use planning in selecting exercise facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Physiology of Rock Climbing
TL;DR: It appears that success in climbing is not related to individual physiological variables but is the result of a complex interaction of physiological and psychological factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
From good intentions to proven interventions: effectiveness of actions to reduce the health impacts of air pollution.
Luisa V. Giles,Prabjit Barn,Nino Künzli,Nino Künzli,Isabelle Romieu,Murray A. Mittleman,Stephan F. van Eeden,Stephan F. van Eeden,Ryan W. Allen,Christopher Carlsten,Dave Stieb,Dave Stieb,Curtis W. Noonan,Audrey Smargiassi,Joel D. Kaufman,Shakoor Hajat,Tom Kosatsky,Michael Brauer +17 more
TL;DR: An international multidisciplinary workshop was convened to discuss evidence of the effectiveness of actions to reduce health impacts of air pollution at both the community and individual level, and identified two promising and largely unexplored strategies to address and mitigate air pollution–related health impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of pre-exercise diesel exhaust exposure on cycling performance and cardio-respiratory variables
TL;DR: A 60-min exposure to DE prior to exercise significantly attenuated exercise-induced bronchodilation and significantly increased heart rate during exercise, and pre-exercise exposure to diesel exhaust did not significantly impair 20 km cycling time trial performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pulmonary and autonomic effects of high-intensity and low-intensity exercise in diesel exhaust
TL;DR: Healthy individuals may not experience greater acute pulmonary and autonomic effects from exercising in DE compared to FA; therefore, it is unclear if such individuals will benefit from reducing vigorous activity on days with high concentrations on particulate matter.
