Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations Open
Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive p…

Acute vascular function responses predict chronic vascular function changes to heating and exercise interventions in young, healthy recreationally active adults Open
Acute responses and chronic changes in brachial artery endothelial function and lower limb arterial stiffness are positively associated with each other, indicating that there is potential to use these variables to predict an intervention’s…

Differences in cardiovascular risk factors associated with sex and gender identity, but not gender expression, in young, healthy cisgender adults Open
Background Sex differences exist in cardiovascular disease risk factors including elevated blood pressure and arterial stiffness, and decreased endothelial function in males compared to females. Feminine gender expression may be associated…

Acute partial sleep restriction does not impact arterial function in young and healthy humans Open
Habitual short sleep durations are associated with several cardiovascular diseases. Experimental research generally supports these findings as metrics of arterial function are impaired after complete deprivation of sleep and after longer p…

Peripheral artery endothelial function responses to altered shear stress patterns in humans Open
New Findings What is the central question of this study? What is the effect of altered shear stress pattern, with or without concurrent neurohumoral and metabolic activation, on the acute endothelial function response assessed via brachial…

Effect of heat stress on vascular outcomes in humans Open
In addition to its role as an environmental stressor, scientists have recently demonstrated the potential for heat to be a therapy for improving or mitigating declines in arterial health. Many studies at both ends of the scientific control…

Emerging evidence for accelerated ageing and cardiovascular disease in individuals with cerebral palsy Open
Individuals with cerebral palsy experience significant changes in non-traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease over 4 years, in the face of no changes in traditional risk factors. Compared with findings in the literature from th…

Cardiac and haemodynamic influence on carotid artery longitudinal wall motion Open
New Findings What is the central question of this study? Carotid artery longitudinal wall motion (CALM) is a bidirectional forward and backward motion of the arterial wall; however, there is no evidence in humans for what controls CALM des…
