Oliver, S. J., Laing, S. J., Wilson, S., Bilzon, J. L. J., Walters, R., Walsh, N. P.
The aim was to investigate the effects of a 48 h period of fluid, energy or combined fluid and energy restriction on salivary IgA (s-IgA) responses at rest and after exercise. Thirteen healthy males...
Endurance running performance after 48 h of restricted fluid and/or energy intake (2007)
Oliver, S. J., Laing, S. J., Wilson, S., Bilzon, J. L. J., Walsh, N.
Purpose: To determine the effect of a 48-h period of either fluid restriction (FR), energy restriction (ER), or fluid and energy restriction (F + ER) on 30-min treadmill time trial (TT) performance...

The effects of the first 19 weeks of U.K. Parachute Regiment (PARA) training on upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) incidence and immune function (circulating leukocyte counts, lymphocyte...
Saliva parameters as potential indices of hydration status during acute dehydration (2004)
Walsh, N. P., Laing, S. J., Oliver, S. J., Montague, J. C., Walters, R., Bilzon, J. L. J.
Purpose: Firstly, to identify whether saliva flow rate, osmolality, and total protein are potential markers of hydration, we compared changes in these parameters with changes in plasma osmolality...
Generic task-related occupational requirements for Royal Naval personnel (2002)
Bilzon, J. L. J., Scarpello, E. G., Bilzon, E., Allsopp, A. J.
Physical tests and selection criteria have historically been used by many military organizations. However, the standards associated with them have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This...
Bilzon, J. L. J., Murphy, J. L., Allsopp, A. J., Wootton, S. A., Williams, C.
Carbohydrate (CHO) ingestion during short-term recovery from prolonged running has been shown to increase the capacity for subsequent exercise in a warm environment. The aim of this study was to...

Bilzon, J. L. J., Scarpello, E. G., Smith, C. V., Ravenhill, N. A., Rayson, M. P.
The purpose of this study was to quantify the metabolic demand of simulated shipboard fire-fighting procedures currently practised by men and women in the Royal Navy (RN) and to identify a minimum...
Assessment of physical fitness for occupations encompassing load-carriage tasks (2001)
Bilzon, J. L. J., Allsopp, A. J., Tipton, M. J.
There is increasing anecdotal evidence that simple occupational tests of aerobic fitness impose a systematic bias against heavier personnel when predicting fitness for load-carrying tasks. This study...
