The Effect of High-Intensity Interval Exercise on Short-Term Glycaemic Control, Serum Level of Key Mediator in Hypoxia and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes—An Exploratory Case Study (2023)
Journal Article
Hall, B., Żebrowska, A., Sikora, M., Siatkowski, S., & Robins, A. (in press). The Effect of High-Intensity Interval Exercise on Short-Term Glycaemic Control, Serum Level of Key Mediator in Hypoxia and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes—An Exploratory Case Study. Nutrients, 15(17), 3749. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu15173749

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with hyperglycaemia-induced hypoxia and inflammation. This study assessed the effects of a single bout of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on glycaemia (BG) and serum level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and...

Journal Article
Żebrowska, A., Sikora, M., Konarska, A., Zwierzchowska, A., Kamiński, T., Robins, A., & Hall, B. (2020). Moderate intensity exercise in hypoxia increases IGF-1 bioavailability and serum irisin in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 11, 2042018820925326. https://doi.org/10.1177/2042018820925326

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of moderate intensity continuous exercise (Ex) and hypoxia (Hyp) on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), irisin and cyt...

Long-term health outcomes associated with an exercise referral scheme : an observational longitudinal follow-up study (2019)
Journal Article
Prior, F., Coffey, M., Robins, A., & Cook, P. (2019). Long-term health outcomes associated with an exercise referral scheme : an observational longitudinal follow-up study. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 16(4), 288-293. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0442

Background: Exercise referral schemes (ERSs) support inactive adults, who have chronic health conditions, to become physically active. Uncertainty exists regarding the effectiveness of ERSs, with few studies evaluating their long-term impact. The aim...

It’s been life changing : perceived benefits of participation in the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme (2018)
Journal Article
Prior, F., Coffey, M., Robins, A., & Cook, P. (2018). It’s been life changing : perceived benefits of participation in the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme. Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 15(10), 223-223. https://doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2018-0535

Introduction: Exercise referral schemes (ERSs) aim to increase the physical activity levels and health outcomes of people with chronic health conditions. To date, the efficacy of ERSs has been inconclusive and largely based on quantitative evaluation...

Fish oil supplementation, resting blood flow and markers of cellular metabolism during incremental exercise (2014)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., Johnson, T., & Robins, A. (2014). Fish oil supplementation, resting blood flow and markers of cellular metabolism during incremental exercise. International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research, 84(1-2), 18-26. https://doi.org/10.1024/0300-9831/a000189

Dietary supplementation of fish oils (n-3 PUFA) have been observed to affect insulin action and hence metabolism, affecting the ability to carry out work. Here we examine the effects of fish oil supplementation in conjunction with a glucose load duri...
