Chronic Passive Heat Exposure and Cardiometabolic Health in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Ely, Brett (University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that increases a woman’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Women with PCOS have extremely high rates of obesity, insulin resistance, ...
Chronic passive heat therapy as a novel means of improving vascular function in sedentary humans

Brunt, Vienna (University of Oregon, 2016-10-27)

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the developed world. The majority of cardiovascular diseases are characterized by disorders of the arteries, predominantly caused by endothelial dysfunction and ...
Novel Modalities for Preeclampsia Prevention: A Role for Exercise Training and 5–Aminoimidazole–4–Carboxamide–1–β–D–Ribofuranoside (AICAR) Administration

Banek, Christopher (University of Oregon, 2014-10-17)

Preeclampsia (PE) remains one of the most enigmatic and pervasive conditions developed during pregnancy and is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Afflicting nearly 5-8% of ...
Peripheral Vascular Responses to Acute Cold-Water Immersion

Whittman, Emma (University of Oregon, 2021)

Exercise is effective in improving cardiovascular health, specifically, as a result of the increase shear stress on peripheral vasculature. Similarly, heat therapy (i.e., sauna bathing and hot water immersion) has indicated ...
Psychophysiological Responses to Acute Cold Water Immersion

Park, Talia (University of Oregon, 2021)

Anecdotal reports suggest that chronic cold water immersion improves mood, immune function, and cardiovascular health. However, there are no scientific studies validating these claims. It is possible that acute cold water ...
Thermal Loading Modalities and Cutaneous Active Vasodilation

Francisco, Michael (University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)

In humans, the primary response to increasing internal temperature is increased cutaneous blood flow along with sweating. These reflexes facilitate heat dissipation to the environment by expanding the thermal gradient ...
Validity of CORE Sensor in Heat Training for Female and Male Endurance Athletes

Ritzow, Max (University of Oregon, 2023)

Heat acclimation and performance is of huge importance in summer endurance sports such as cycling, distance running, and triathlon. Continuously monitoring the internal temperature of athletes during training and events ...
