Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in 12-13 year old children, stratified by sex, school type and residential deprivation score (2016)
Journal Article
Davies, E. J., Greenfield, J., & Edwards, K. (2016). Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in 12-13 year old children, stratified by sex, school type and residential deprivation score

Many children are insufficiently active for good health. Factors affecting childhood physical activity and sedentary behaviour levels have been identified, including residential and school factors. Three schools in Sheffield, UK were recruited. Data...

Motor unit number estimates and neuromuscular transmission in the tibialis anterior of master athletes: evidence that athletic older people are not spared from age-related motor unit remodeling (2016)
Journal Article
Piasecki, M., Ireland, A., Coulson, J., Stashuk, D. W., Hamilton-Wright, A., Swiecicka, A., …Jones, D. A. (2016). Motor unit number estimates and neuromuscular transmission in the tibialis anterior of master athletes: evidence that athletic older people are not spared from age-related motor unit remodeling. Physiological Reports, 4(19), Article e12987. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12987

Muscle motor unit numbers decrease markedly in old age, while remaining motor units are enlarged and can have reduced neuromuscular junction transmission stability. However, it is possible that regular intense physical activity throughout life can at...

Background

Pain is the most troubling issue to patients with osteoarthritis (OA), yet current pharmacological treatments offer only small-to-moderate pain reduction. Current guidelines therefore emphasise the need to identify predictors of treatme...
