Galvao, D. A., Taaffe, D. R., Spry, N., Joseph, D., Turner, D., Newton, R. U.

This study examined the effects of androgen suppression therapy (AST) on upper and lower body muscle strength and a range of direct measures of physical performance using a cross-sectional design...

Endocrine and immune responses to resistance training in prostate cancer patients (2008)

Galvao, D. A., Nosaka, K., Taaffe, D. R., Peake, J., Spry, N., Suzuki, K., ...

This study examined the effect of 20 weeks resistance training on a range of serum hormones and inflammatory markers at rest, and following acute bouts of exercise in prostate cancer patients...

Reduced central blood pressure in older adults following progressive resistance training (2007)

Taaffe, D. R., Galvao, D..A.., Sharman, J., Coombes, J. S.

The effect of a programme of resistance training on central blood pressure ( BP) and arterial stiffness was studied in 17 men and women aged 65 - 78 years. Following 20 weeks of training, central...

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha haplotype is strongly associated with bone mineral density in patients with Crohn's disease (2007)

Lee, N., Fowler, E., Mason, S., Lincoln, D., Taaffe, D. R., Radford-Smith, G.

Background and aim: There is limited consensus on the major variables that determine bone integrity and bone loss in patients with Crohn's disease. Twin and family studies in the general population...

Exercise can prevent and even reverse adverse effects of androgen suppression treatment in men with prostate cancer (2007)

Galvao, D. A., Taaffe, D. R., Spry, N., Newton, R. U.

Side effects accompanying androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including sarcopenia, loss of bone mass and reduction in muscle strength, can compromise physical function, particularly in older...

Effects of birth cohort and age on body composition in a sample of community-based elderly (2007)

Ding, J. Z., Kritchevsky, S. B., Newman, A. B., Taaffe, D. R., Nicklas, B. J., Visser, M., ...

Background: The effect of the recent obesity epidemic on body composition remains unknown. Furthermore, age-related changes in body composition are still unclear. Objective: The objective was to...

A novel balance exercise program for postural stability in older adults: A pilot study (2007)

Kaesler, D S, Mellifont, R, Swete Kelly, P, Taaffe, D R

Pilates-inspired exercise is increasing in popularity as a general and clinical exercise training technique. It is purported to improve postural awareness with a large focus on facilitating movement...

Yende, S, Waterer, G W, Tolley, E A, Newman, A B, Bauer, D C, Taaffe, D R, ...

Background: Inflammatory markers are increased in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) and are hypothesised to play an important part in muscle dysfunction and exercise intolerance. Methods:...
