Indoor environment sensor systems for healthier homes: a feasibility study in social housing
(Routledge, 9 July 2024)This study examines the feasibility of using an indoor environment sensor system to improve property management and health in social housing. Over a 6-year period, sensors were installed and maintained in 280 homes to ... -
Middle cerebral artery blood velocity and end-tidal carbon dioxide responses to moderate intensity cycling in children, adolescents and adults
(American Physiological Society, 26 October 2024)This study investigated the middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) response to constant work-rate moderate-intensity cycling exercise in 21 children (9.3±0.8 years), 17 adolescents (12.3±0.4 years) and 20 young adults ... -
Age- and sex-dependence of muscle quality: Influence of intramuscular non-contractile tissues
(Elsevier, 6 September 2024)Purpose Muscle quality is explained by the ratio between muscle size and strength. Conventionally, muscle size is evaluated without considering the composition of contractile and non-contractile tissues in muscle, hence ... -
Unravelling upright events: a descriptive epidemiology of the behavioural composition and temporal distribution of upright events in participants from the 1970 British Cohort Study
(BMC, 21 February 2024)BACKGROUND: Continued proliferation of accelerometers in physical activity research has opened new avenues for understanding activity behaviours beyond simple aggregate measures of frequency and duration. This study explores ... -
Cross-sectional associations between patterns and composition of upright and stepping events with physical function: insights from The Maastricht Study
(BMC, 9 May 2024)INTRODUCTION: Age-related declines in physical functioning have significant implications for health in later life. Physical activity (PA) volume is associated with physical function, but the importance of the pattern in ...
