PURPOSE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Many risk factors for CVD can be modified pharmacologically; however, uptake of medications is low, especially in asymptomatic people. Exercise is also effective at reduc...

Short-term (<8 weeks) high-intensity interval training in diseased cohorts (2018)
Journal Article
Blackwell, J. E., Doleman, B., Herrod, P., Ricketts, S., Phillips, B. E., Lund, J. N., & Williams, J. P. (2018). Short-term (

Background & Aim: Exercise training regimes can lead to improvements in measures of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), improved general health, and reduced morbidity and overall mortality risk. High intensity interval training (HIIT) offers a time-eff... Read More about Short-term (<8 weeks) high-intensity interval training in diseased cohorts.

A coding and non-coding transcriptomic perspective on the genomics of human metabolic disease (2018)
Journal Article
Timmons, J. A., Atherton, P. J., Larsson, O., Sood, S., Blokhin, I. O., Brogan, R. J., …Kraus, W. E. (2018). A coding and non-coding transcriptomic perspective on the genomics of human metabolic disease. Nucleic Acids Research, 46(15), 7772-7792. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gky570

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), relying on hundreds of thousands of individuals, have revealed >200 genomic loci linked to metabolic disease (MD). Loss of insulin sensitivity (IS) is a key component of MD and we hypothesized that discovery of...

Exercise and other nonpharmacological strategies to reduce blood pressure in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Herrod, P. J., Doleman, B., Blackwell, J. E., O’Boyle, F., Williams, J. P., Lund, J. N., & Phillips, B. E. (in press). Exercise and other nonpharmacological strategies to reduce blood pressure in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of the American Society of Hypertension, 12(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jash.2018.01.008

The incidence of hypertension increases with advancing age and represents a significant burden of disease. Lifestyle modification represents the first-line intervention in treatment algorithms; however, the majority of evidence for this comes from st...
