Age-related change in muscle mass, strength and function in healthy adult Irish women

Francis, Peter (University of Limerick, 2014)

Sarcopenia refers to the age-related decline in muscle mass. The criteria for the identification of sarcopenia lag some way behind the established criteria for the diagnosis of bone health (osteoporosis). European and ...
An analysis of body composition and its measurement in a sample of Irish adults aged 18-81 years.

Leahy, Siobhan (University of Limerick, 2011)

Obesity is a global epidemic and is defined as excess fat accumulation to the extent that health may be impaired (WHO 2000). However, body mass index (BMI), the metric used to quantify obesity, does not adequately represent ...
Assessing the dietary intake of omega 3 fatty acids and examining the effect of a 6 month supplementation of EPA on blood lipids and inflammatory cytokines in healthy Irish adults

Keaskin, Laura (University of Limerick, 2013)

The health benefits of long chain (LC) n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are now widely recognised (Tur et al 2012) including triglyceride lowering effects (Lopez-Huertas, 2012) and anti-inflammatory effects (Rangel-Huerta ...
An assessment of fractures, bone mineral density and habitual bone metabolism in female distance runners

Higgins, Jennifer A. (University of Limerick, 2020)

Background Exercise is generally considered osteogenic, promoting the accrual of bone during growth and preventing its loss during ageing. However female distance runners (FDR) present a paradox to this consensus. Despite ...
Development and application of a nutrient support to age related lean tissue mass loss in an Irish population (50-70 years); Validation of methods used to investigate cross sectional observations of the intake of nutrients implicated, and a longitudinal intervention applying a nutrient support to age related lean tissue mass loss

Norton, Catherine (University of Limerick, 2014)

Prevention of the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopaenia) is fundamental to conserving functional capability in older age and enabling independent living. To develop preventive strategies, a better ...
The effects of a short term (14 day) dietary substitution on body composition and biomarkers of metabolic health in healthy adults

Shaw, Patricia K. (University of Limerick, 2011)

The Special K Challenge is a partial meal replacement plan whereby two main meals are substituted with a fixed portion of Kellogg‟s Special K and semi-skimmed milk for two weeks. It is designed to reduce energy intake ...
An in vitro and in vivo study of the bioactive properties of milk peptides: antioxidant and dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory peptides

Power, Orla (University of Limerick, 2013)

The beneficial effects of food-derived antioxidant (AO) in health promotion and disease prevention are being increasingly recognised. Recently there has been a particular focus on milk-derived peptides as a source of AOs, ...
The measurement and influence of body composition phenotype in ageing: an analysis of health -related changes in Irish adults

Toomey, Clodagh M. (University of Limerick, 2014)

Ageing is a process associated with adverse effects on nearly every facet of human body composition and is generally accompanied by progressive loss in lean mass (sarcopenia) and bone mineral density (BMD) (osteoporosis) ...
Milk as a rehydration fluid following exercise-induced loss of body mass.

Seery, Suzanne (U*niversity of Limerick, 2015)

The effectiveness of 0.1% fat milk (M) at restoring fluid balance after exercise and heat induced hypohydration was compared to a commercially available carbohydrate-electrolyte (CE) sports drink and water (W) using a ...
Milk protein supplementation and the regulation of lean tissue mass in healthy community dwelling 50-70y old women and men

McCormack, William (University of Limerick, 2014)

Population demographics demonstrate that the number of older individuals will triple to approximately 1.5 billion by 2050. Age-related sarcopenia is associated with a progressive loss of lean tissue mass (LTM), strength ...
Peri-exercise nutrition: an innovative approach to dietary assessment in trained populations

Kozior, Marta (University of Limerick, 2020)

This thesis offers peri-exercise nutrition (PEN) advancements to dietary assessment for trained populations. The PEN approach promotes time-specific dietary data collection, analysis and prescription, places exercise ...
Physiotherapy and exercise interventions for people with multiple sclerosis with minimal gait impairment

Garrett, Maria (University of Limerick, 2011)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, degenerative disease of themcentral nervous system. It is the leading cause of disability in young adults for which there is no cure. In a disease that has no cure, minimising ...
