Stress Hormones and the Immunological Responses to Heat and Exercise
TL;DR: This review focuses on the response of "stress" hormones to heat, exercise (single or repeated bouts), and combinations of these stimuli, with particular reference to their impact upon immune function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging and muscle function.
Yukitoshi Aoyagi,Roy J. Shephard +1 more
TL;DR: The preservation of muscle function has important implications for the quality of life in the frail elderly, counteracting dyspnoea, stabilising joints and extending the period of independent living by up to 20 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaston Godin,Roy J. Shephard +1 more
TL;DR: This paper examined the influence of personal attributes and family environment upon the exercise intentions of students in grades 7 to 9, and found that attitudes, current physical activity habits, and prior experience of exercise all contributed significantly to explaining the variance in exercise intentions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tests of Maximum Oxygen Intake A Critical Review
TL;DR: While there is some specificity of training when conditioning is based upon small muscle groups, treadmill training apparently improves cardiac performance, and thus V̇O2max, in many other types of endurance activity, which varies with the type of exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality of life and cardiorespiratory function in chronic heart failure: effects of 12 months' aerobic training.
TL;DR: Gains in aerobic function and quality of life persisted over a programme lasting 52 weeks, linked to gains in oxygen pulse and ventilatory threshold and reductions in resting heart rate.
