Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., MCGREGOR, G., AL-MOHAMMAD, A., ALI, A.N., TEW, G. and O'DOHERTY, A.F. 2020. The effect of protein and essential amino acid supplementation on muscle strength and performance in patients with chronic heart failure: a systematic review.

Critically low skeletal muscle mass and strength, observed in 20% of people with chronic heart failure (CHF), reduces functional capacity, quality of life (QoL) and survival. Protein and essential amino acid (EAA) supplementation could be a viable tr...

Exercise training as a mediator for enhancing coronary collateral circulation: a review of the evidence. (2019)
Journal Article
NICKOLAY, T., NICHOLS, S., INGLE, L. and HOYE, A. 2020. Exercise training as a mediator for enhancing coronary collateral circulation: a review of the evidence. Current cardiology reviews [online], 16(3), pages 212-220. Available from: http://dx.doi.org/10.2174/1573403X15666190819144336

Coronary collateral vessels supply blood to areas of myocardium at risk after arterial occlusion. Flow through these channels is driven by a pressure gradient between the donor and the occluded artery. Concomitant with increased collateral flow is an...

Insufficient exercise intensity for clinical benefit? Monitoring and quantification of a community-based Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme: a United Kingdom perspective. (2019)
Journal Article
KHUSHHAL, A., NICHOLS, S., CARROLL, S., ABT, G. and INGLE, L. 2019. Insufficient exercise intensity for clinical benefit? Monitoring and quantification of a community-based Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme: a United Kingdom perspective. PLoS ONE [online], 14(6), article number e0217654. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0217654

In recent years, criticism of the percentage range approach for individualised exercise prescription has intensified. We were concerned that sub-optimal exercise dose (especially intensity) may be in part responsible for the variability in the effect...

The effects of low-volume high-intensity interval training and circuit training on maximal oxygen uptake. (2019)
Journal Article
BIRKETT, S.T., NICHOLS, S., SAWREY, R., GLEADALL-SIDDALL, D., MCGREGOR, G. and INGLE, L. 2019. The effects of low-volume high-intensity interval training and circuit training on maximal oxygen uptake. Sport sciences for health (online), 15(2), pages 443-451. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11332-019-00552-2

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training (CT) are popular methods of exercise, eliciting improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). However, direct comparisons of these two training methods are limited. We investigated the e...
