Our study investigating the impacts of sleep deprivation on thermoregulation was published in @EJAP_official last week! I’ve had so much fun mentoring these graduate students and very proud to see some first first-author papers published! Check Nick’s out below 🔗⬇️

🧠💪 This powerful visual highlights the comparative efficacy of exercise vs. drugs across critical health areas, including chronic disease prevention, peak fitness optimization, and age-related functional changes. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Exercise is a cornerstone for managing diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and even cognitive decline. ✅ It prevents chronic diseases and boosts psychological well-being like no other intervention. ✨ A truly evidence-based medicine for healthy aging. 🏃‍♀️ 💡 Whether you're a healthcare provider or a fitness advocate, let this inspire you to make movement medicine a priority in life. 🌍 👉Clickthrough to explore how exercise can transform lives at any age. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #HealthyAging #GlobalExercise #EvidenceBased #ExerciseIsMedicine

New in @japplphysiol by Stevens et al. Effect of condensed heat acclimation on thermophysiological adaptations, hypoxic cross-tolerance, exercise performance and de-acclimation journals.physiology.org/doi/…

Effect of condensed heat acclimation on thermophysiological adaptations, hypoxic cross-tolerance,...

Short duration heat acclimation (HA) (≤5 daily heat exposures) elicits incomplete adaptation compared with longer interventions, possibly due to the lower accumulated thermal “dose.” It is unknown if...

Earlier in June. I had the opportunity of presenting my first PhD study looking at the effects of T2D on thermoregulation and physical function in the heat at @ICEE2024 It was an honour to learn from and connect with fellow thermal physiologists ☺️

DID YOU KNOW? Elderly who take medications for their chronic conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, etc.) may be less able to regulate body temperatures in the heat Read more: medicine.nus.edu.sg/news/med…

I couldn’t be happier to share that our Singapore-based study that explored adolescent female athletes’ experiences of the menstrual cycle is now published OA in SJMSS!🩸 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Hopeful that this will be a catalyst for positive change back home 🇸🇬 @NYSI_SG

Pleased to share my newly published article (from my PhD work) examining the impact of heat on our human brain. Our brain motor activity and cognitive ability are impaired by heat. There could be a brain temperature range optimal for neural function! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3767…

3 sets of repeated chair stands (5 or 10 reps per set), 3 times per week. Sound feasible? Over 8 weeks, this was enough to improve: Muscle thickness: ⬆️8-9% Muscle quality index: ⬆️40-45% Relative sit-to-stand power: ⬆️29-38% Resistance training doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective. peerj.com/articles/15665/
