The catabolic response associated with major burn injuries results in loss of lean body mass (LBM) and prolonged muscle weakness. Exercise training improves LBM and muscle strength in burn-injured children in the acute post injury phase, yet it is unknown whether adults will experience the same benefits when exercise training is implemented at least two years post injury.Nine burn-injured participants...
Patients often experience reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following burn injury. Exercise training has been demonstrated to improve HRQOL in a number of clinical populations, yet it is unknown whether exercise can improve HRQOL in burns patients.Nine burn-injured participants (42±18.38%TBSA: 6.56±3.68 years after injury) and 9 matched controls participated in a 12-week exercise programme...
Pulmonary function (PF) is compromised in some individuals following burn, which may result in impaired aerobic capacity. Exercise training improves PF and exercise capacity in children recovering from burns, yet it is unknown if adults will demonstrate the same response.9 burn injured participants (%TBSA 42 ±18.38, 6.56 years ±3.68 post injury) and 9 matched controls participated in a 12-week goal...
To determine the relationship between pulmonary function, aerobic exercise capacity and physical activity participation in adults following burn.Eight burn injured males aged 20–55 years (%TBSA 33.3±18.7, 5.1 years±1.8 post injury), and 30 healthy adult controls participated. Pulmonary function was assessed during rest via spirometry. A graded exercise test measuring peak oxygen consumption (VO ...
The significant deterioration of insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance during pregnancy can have serious health implications for both the pregnant woman and her baby. Although it is well established that regular exercise benefits insulin sensitivity in the nonpregnant population, the effect on glucose tolerance in obese pregnant women is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate...
