Frequently reported poor dietary habits of young adults increase their risk metabolic syndrome (MetS). Excess adiposity is the most established predictor MetS, and numerous anthropometric measures have been proposed as proxy indicators adiposity. We aimed to assess prevalence MetS in adult population make comparison between weight- shape-oriented identify best index association with measured body fat a for MetS. Healthy males females aged 18–25 years from Northwest England were recruited...

Increasing protein intake (above the Recommended Dietary Amount) alone or with resistance-based exercise is suggested to improve cardiometabolic health; however, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed confirm this.The Liverpool Hope University-Sarcopenia Aging Trial (LHU-SAT) was a 16 week RCT (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02912130) of 100 community-dwelling older adults [mean age: 68.73 ± 5.80 years, body mass index: 27.06 5.18 kg/m2 (52% women)] who were four independent...
Abstract Objective To estimate the phytate intake and molar ratio of to zinc in diet people United Kingdom. Design Tables content foods were developed from twenty-eight published unpublished studies. They then applied nutrient databank National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS). The study is a retrospective analysis data on daily consumption drinks NDNS children, adolescents, adults elderly based 4–7 d weighed intakes. Subjects A total 6786 British participants aged 1·5 years above, who...
There is currently a lack of research into the energy demands and associated nutritional intakes elite Gaelic football players during pre-season period, which crucial time year for physical development. The aim current study was to investigate dietary intake expenditure (EE) typical week. Over seven-day included four training days three rest days, (validated self-reported estimated food diary) EE (Sensewear Pro armband) were recorded in 18 male from single inter-county team. Average (EI)...
High carbohydrate, lower fat (HCLF) diets are recommended to reduce cardiometabolic disease (CMD) but low carbohydrate high (LCHF) can be just as effective. The effect of LCHF on novel insulin resistance biomarkers and the metabolome has not been fully explored. aim this study was investigate impact an ad libitum 8-week diet compared with a HCLF CMD markers, metabolome, markers. n = 16 adults were randomly assigned either (n 8, <50 g CHO p/day) or 8) for 8 weeks. At weeks 0, 4 participants...
Hyperaminoacidemia following ingestion of cows-milk may stimulate muscle anabolism and attenuate exercise-induced damage (EIMD). However, as dairy-intolerant athletes do not obtain the reported benefits from milk-based products, A2 milk offer a suitable alternative it lacks A1-protein. This study aimed to determine effect on recovery sports-specific model. Twenty-one male team sport players were allocated three independent groups: (n = 7), regular placebo (PLA) 7). Immediately...
This study explores the dietary experiences of international students in a British university, and how these phenomena differ from what they experienced their home country. Ten participants were recruited using purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria who had lived England for less than year; those with diet-related health problems excluded. Data collected semi-structured interviews analyzed Colaizzi’s method. resulted three main themes: changes diet, new experiences, factors affecting...
Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases with pathophysiology strongly linked to aging. A range circulatory metabolic biomarkers such as inflammatory adipokines have been associated MetS; however, the diagnostic power these markers MetS correlates in elderly has yet be elucidated. This cross-sectional study investigated older adults. Methods: Hundred community dwelling adults (mean age: 68.7 years) were recruited study, where...
The prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions is increasing, and although current guidelines for physical activity attempt to combat this, many fail achieve the recommended targets. present study sought investigate whether regular tennis participation more effective at enhancing MSK function than meeting international guidelines.Tennis players will display significantly enhanced when compared with age-matched healthy active nonplayers.Cross-sectional study.Level 3.Ninety participants...
The Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) research instrument has been extensively used to investigate the perceived benefits and barriers of exercise in a range settings. In order examine theoretical contentions translate findings, it is imperative implement measurement tools that operationalize constructs an accurate reliable way. original validation EBBS proposed nine-factor structure for tool, examined factor structure, suggested various factors are important testing perception...
Background: Previous research has reported that elite Gaelic football players’ carbohydrate (CHO) intakes are sub-optimal, especially, in the lead up to competitive matches. Despite clear decrements running performance across matches, there no studies have investigated nutrition interventions on match-related performance. The aim of this study was determine whether a higher-CHO diet line with sports guidelines can improve football-related compared lower CHO previously observed footballers....
Accurate estimates of energy expenditure are required in clinical nutrition order to determine the requirements individuals and inform feeding regimes. Calorimetry can provide accurate measurements but is often impractical or community settings; prediction equations widely used estimate resting (REE) have limited accuracy. A portable, self-calibrating, handheld calorimeter (HHC) may offer an alternative way determining REE. The aim study was evaluate whether REE derived using HHC closer than...
