ABCD3-I and ABCD2 Scores in a TIA Population with Low Stroke Risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives. We aimed to evaluate the ABCD3-I score and compare it with the ABCD2 score in short- (1 week) and long-term (3 months; 1 year) stroke risk prediction in our post-TIA stroke risk study, MIDNOR TIA. Materials and ... -
Abdominal aerobic endurance exercise reveals spot reduction exists : a randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The existence of spot reduction, exercise-induced local body fat reduction, has been debated for half a century. Although the evidence is equivocal, no study has applied aerobic endurance training closely matching interventions ... -
Absent exercise-induced improvements in fat oxidation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome after high-intensity interval training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic inflexibility are linked to insulin resistance, and women with PCOS appear to be metabolic inflexible in the rested, insulin-stimulated state. Exercise training ... -
