Journal Article
Lees, M. J., Wilson, O. J., Hind, K., & Ispoglou, T. (2019). Muscle quality as a complementary prognostic tool in conjunction with sarcopenia assessment in younger and older individuals. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 119, Article 1171. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-019-04107-8

Purpose: This pilot study investigated differences in lean tissue mass, muscle strength, muscle quality (strength per unit of muscle mass; MQ), and functional performance in healthy younger and older individuals. The most robust predictors of appendi... Read More about Muscle quality as a complementary prognostic tool in conjunction with sarcopenia assessment in younger and older individuals.

Preseason Body Composition Adaptations in Elite White and Polynesian Rugby Union Athletes (2019)
Journal Article
Zemski, A., Keating, S., Broad, E., Marsh, D., Hind, K., & Slater, G. (2019). Preseason Body Composition Adaptations in Elite White and Polynesian Rugby Union Athletes. International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 29(1), 9-17. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem.2018-0059

During preseason training, rugby union (RU) athletes endeavor to enhance physical performance characteristics that are aligned with on-field success. Specific physique traits are associated with performance; therefore body composition assessment is r...

Obesity, bone density relative to body weight and prevalent vertebral fracture at age 62 years: the Newcastle Thousand Families Study (2019)
Journal Article
Rudman, H., Birrell, F., Pearce, M., Tuck, S., Francis, R., & Hind, K. (2019). Obesity, bone density relative to body weight and prevalent vertebral fracture at age 62 years: the Newcastle Thousand Families Study. Osteoporosis International, 30(4), 829-836. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00198-018-04817-3

Summary: Obesity increases the likelihood of prevalent vertebral fracture (VF) in men and women at age 62 years. The higher absolute bone mineral density (BMD) observed in obese individuals is disproportionate to body weight, and this may partly expl...
