Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., TAYLOR, C., PAGE, R., KALLVIKBACKA-BENNETT, A., NATION, F., GOODMAN, T., CLARK, A.L., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2018. Is cardiorespiratory fitness related to cardiometabolic health and all-cause mortality risk in patients with coronary heart disease? A CARE CR study. Sports medicine - open [online], 4, article number 22. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-018-0138-z

Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with lower morbidity and mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The mechanisms for this are not fully understood. A more favourable cardiometabolic risk factor profile may be resp...

Available from: https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0043-120195

We examined the validity and reliability of the Apple Watch heart rate sensor during and in recovery from exercise. Twenty-one males completed treadmill exercise while wearing two Apple Watches (left and right wrists) and a Polar S810i monitor (crite...

Estimated peak functional capacity: an accurate method for assessing change in peak oxygen consumption after cardiac rehabilitation? (2017)
Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., GLEADALL-SIDDALL, D.O., ANTONY, R., CLARK, A.L., CLELAND, J.G.F., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2018. Estimated peak functional capacity: an accurate method for assessing change in peak oxygen consumption after cardiac rehabilitation? Clinical physiology and functional imaging [online], 38(4), pages 681-688. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/cpf.12468

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the 'gold standard' method of determining VO2peak. When CPET is unavailable, VO2peak may be estimated from treadmill or cycle ergometer workloads and expressed as estimated metabolic equivalents (METs). Card...

A clinician's guide to cardiopulmonary exercise testing 1: an introduction. (2015)
Journal Article
TAYLOR, C., NICHOLS, S. and INGLE, L. 2015. A clinician's guide to cardiopulmonary exercise testing 1: an introduction. British journal of hospital medicine [online], 76(4), pages 192-195. Available from: https://doi.org/10.12968/hmed.2015.76.4.192

Compared to standard exercise tolerance testing, cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a reliable and powerful tool that can be used for risk stratification, exercise prescription and clinical diagnosis.

Variability of automated carotid intima-media thickness measurements by novice operators. (2014)
Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., MILNER, M., MEIJER, R., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2016. Variability of automated carotid intima-media thickness measurements by novice operators. Clinical physiology and functional imaging [online], 36(1), pages 25-32. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/cpf.12189

Carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) measurements provide a non-invasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to assess the inter- and intra-observer variability of automated C-IMT measurements undertaken by two novic...
