Stroke is one of the most common disabling conditions worldwide. The various physical impairments that arise from stroke may encourage a physically inactive lifestyle (Michael et al. 2005). Ninety percent of stroke survivors have some functional disability with reduced mobility being the major
Study aim A: Red cell mass and hypoxia:
Various forms of altitude training have been used to increase in particular endurance performance of elite athletes. The most commonly used approaches is either to live and train at altitude (Live high - train high; LHTH) or to live at high altitude while
Altitude affects human health and well being through its effect on tissue oxygenation by altering the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas that enters the lungs. The partial pressure of any component of a mixed gas is equal to the total pressure of the gas multiplied by the fraction of the gas that
1. Introduction
Consumption of fish provides a vital contribution to the survival and health of a significant portion of the world's population. Lipids in fish foods consist mainly of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenic acid (EPA, C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid
Hyperbaric oxygenation chambers are FDA-approved and regulated devices. Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) is a medical procedure in which participants inspire enriched oxygen while their bodies are subjected to pressure greater than ambient barometric pressure at sea level (i.e., greater than 1
1. Purpose
The purpose of this research proposal is to evaluate the role of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) and the formation of arteriovenous anastomoses (shunts) in hypoxia and their effect on endurance exercise performance. The pulmonary vasodilator sildenafil will be used to reverse the
Background: Greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet, a traditional dietary pattern of the wider region of the Mediterranean sea, has been associated with favourable cardiometabolic outcomes, including the prevention of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, limited local
Background Information and Scientific Rationale
Consumption of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5n-3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) from fish and fish-oil supplements reduces disease risk
