The effect of repeated hot water immersion on microvascular function, glycaemic control and inflammation in White European and South Asian males

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals of South Asian (SA) descent display a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus than their White European (WE) counterparts. Heat therapy, such as hot water immersion (HWI), can improve microvascular function and glycaemic control, although effects across racial groups are unknown.

Cerebral blood flow regulation, central arterial stiffness and traumatic brain injury: Effects of aerobic exercise training

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Advanced age is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs). Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has also been recognized as a risk factor for ADRD, potentially contributing to an earlier onset of the disease. Thus, elucidating the mechanisms underlying brain ageing and TBI is critical for developing strategies to ...

Passive hyperthermia increases blood circulation in specific regions, largely independent of conduit artery mechanics and cardiac performance

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive hyperthermia increases net peripheral and systemic blood flow in humans and other animals, yet the underlying haemodynamic forces that selectively accelerate blood movement remain incompletely characterized. Wave intensity analysis offers insight into the respective contributions of the heart and the vascular system to changes in blood

Quantifying microvascular responses to local heating using optical coherence tomography: Comparison between skin sites and sex differences

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design, metholodgy, results and conclusions. Abstract Due to a lack of technical capacity to directly visualise and quantify microvessels in the skin, little is known regarding regional and/or sex differences. We compared diameter, velocity, flow and density at four regional sites using a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT ...

The effects of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in patients with established coronary heart disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In healthy adults, prolonged uninterrupted sitting acutely increases blood pressure (BP) and aortic stiffness; however, these effects can be mitigated with light physical activity interruptions.

Identification of the individual cardiac contraction threshold during high‐frame‐rate stress echocardiography

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The clinical assessment of cardiovascular function during exercise using stress echocardiography is essential for accurate cardiac diagnosis. However, normal limitations of cardiac deformation responses to increasing physical exertion remain poorly understood.

Effects of reducing sedentary behaviour on heart rate variability and cardio‐metabolic biomarkers in desk workers with untreated high blood pressure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lower sedentary behaviour (SB) has been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and mortality. Yet, few trials have evaluated cardiovascular mechanisms of benefit. We examined the effects of a SB reduction intervention on heart rate variability (HRV) and cardio‐metabolic biomarkers.
