Journal Article
Aljilani, B., Tsintzas, K., Jacques, M., Radford, S., & Moran, G. W. (2023). Systematic Review: Sarcopenia in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN, 57, 647-654. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.08.009

Background: Low skeletal muscle mass (MM) and deteriorated function (sarcopenia) can be a frequent complication in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aim: To conduct a systematic review of the paediatric IBD literature on skeletal muscle fu... Read More about Systematic Review: Sarcopenia in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Quantitative assessment of sitting time in ambulant adults with Muscular Dystrophy (2021)
Journal Article
Jacques, M. F., Onambele-Pearson, G. L., Edwards, B., De Goede, C. G., & Morse, C. I. (2021). Quantitative assessment of sitting time in ambulant adults with Muscular Dystrophy. PLoS ONE, 16(11), Article e0260491. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0260491

Background
Current investigations into physical behaviour in Muscular Dystrophy (MD) have focussed largely on physical activity (PA). Negative health behaviours such as sedentary behaviour (Physical Behaviour) and sitting time (Posture Classificatio...

12-Month changes of muscle strength, body composition and physical activity in adults with dystrophinopathies (2020)
Journal Article
Jacques, M. F., Onambele-Pearson, G. L., Reeves, N. D., Stebbings, G. K., Dawson, E. A., Stockley, R. C., …Morse, C. I. (2022). 12-Month changes of muscle strength, body composition and physical activity in adults with dystrophinopathies. Disability and Rehabilitation, 44(10), 1847-1854. https://doi.org/10.1080/09638288.2020.1808087

Purpose
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is an umbrella term for muscle wasting conditions, for which longitudinal changes in function and body composition are well established in children with Duchenne (DMD), however, changes in adults with DMD and Beckers...

Quality of life in adults with muscular dystrophy (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Muscle weakness is a defining characteristic of Muscular Dystrophy (MD); however, yet while speculated, objective measures of muscle weakness has not been reported in relation to quality of life in adults with MD. Objectives: 1) compare t... Read More about Quality of life in adults with muscular dystrophy.

Relationships between muscle size, strength, and physical activity in adults with muscular dystrophy: Muscle strength, size and physical activity in muscular dystrophy (2018)
Journal Article
Jacques, M. F., Onambele-Pearson, G. L., Reeves, N. D., Stebbings, G. K., Smith, J., & Morse, C. I. (2018). Relationships between muscle size, strength, and physical activity in adults with muscular dystrophy: Muscle strength, size and physical activity in muscular dystrophy. Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 9(6), 1042-1052. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.12347

Background
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness, yet few comparisons to non-MD controls (CTRL) of muscle strength and size in this adult population exist. Physical activity (PA) is promoted to maintain...
