Journal ArticleDOI
The anti-inflammatory effects of exercise: mechanisms and implications for the prevention and treatment of disease
Michael Gleeson,Nicolette C. Bishop,David J. Stensel,Martin R. Lindley,Sarabjit S. Mastana,Myra A. Nimmo +5 more
TL;DR: The known mechanisms by which exercise — both acute and chronic — exerts its anti-inflammatory effects are focused on, and the implications of these effects for the prevention and treatment of disease are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in regional sweat composition in normal human males
TL;DR: This project aimed to quantify the regional distribution of sweat composition over the skin surface and to determine whether sweat constituent concentrations collected from regional sites can estimate whole‐body concentrations, and is the first investigation to report a positive relationship between sweat [K+] and [lactate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contractile muscle volume and agonist-antagonist coactivation account for differences in torque between young and older women
Andrea Macaluso,Myra A. Nimmo,John E. Foster,Muriel Cockburn,Nigel C. McMillan,Giuseppe De Vito +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the lower level of muscle torque in the older women can be explained not only by smaller contractile muscle mass but also by increased coactivation of the antagonist muscles during knee extension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of objectively measured sedentary behaviour and physical activity with markers of cardiometabolic health.
Joseph Henson,Joseph Henson,Thomas Yates,Stuart J. H. Biddle,Charlotte L. Edwardson,Charlotte L. Edwardson,Kamlesh Khunti,Emma G. Wilmot,Laura J. Gray,Trish Gorely,Myra A. Nimmo,Melanie J. Davies +11 more
TL;DR: In adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, time spent sedentary is strongly and adversely associated with cardiometabolic health and may be a more important indicator of poor health than MVPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of physical activity on mediators of inflammation
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding surrounding the acute and chronic effects of physical activity on key mediators of inflammation are described, with particular attention given to the interleukin‐6 system owing to its apparent centrality in mediating the anti‐inflammatory effects of exercise.
