Determining which symptoms have the greatest impact on quality of life in patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

INTRODUCTION: CKD patients suffer with a high symptom burden which is inadequately measured in clinical practice. This high symptom burden is known to impact quality of life, however there is limited understanding of which symptoms most affect patien...

Physical activity, kidney function, physical function, and health-related quality of life in adults with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (2019)
Thesis

This thesis aimed to report the development of evidence-based studies that would assess current physical activity and function, health related quality of life and association with kidney function to encourage and facilitate sustained physical activit...

Relationships between illness representations, physical activity and depression in chronic kidney disease (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is exacerbated by depression and confers significant healthcare costs. Whilst adverse impacts may be mitigated by physical activity, many patients with CKD remain physically inactive, with this physical inacti...

ICT Use and Physical Activity & Implication for Musculoskeletal Pains among Tertiary Institution Students in Kwara State Nigeria: 1027 Board #288 May 30 3 30 PM - 5 00 PM (2018)
Journal Article

PURPOSE: Recent studies show that prolonged ICT use is associated with increased sedentariness and postural imbalances. This has implication for the prevalence of musculoskeletal pains among ICT users. To investigate the implications of ICT use for p...

Influence of occupational physical activity on anthropometric profile and body composition of bricklayers in Kwara state, Nigeria (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives
Optimal amount of muscle and fat mass has been associated with level of physical activity and are basic determinants of individuals’ health, fitness including occupational performance. The study determined the level of occupational physic...

Influence of ICT use on body composition and sedentary death syndrome (SeDS) risk among University of Ilorin sandwich students (2017)
Journal Article

The ever-increasing demand for ICT has made it a leading cause of sedentariness, which is deleterious to health and wellbeing in several ways. The study examined Influence of ICT Use on Body Composition and Sedentary Death Syndrome (SeDS) Risk among...

Nigella sativa L. oil ameliorates insulin resistance caused by dexamethasone treatment in male Wistar rats (2017)
Journal Article

Dexamethasone is an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid that may alter glucose and lipid homeostasis
depending on the dose and/or duration of administration. Nigella sativa oil (NSO) can be used as
potential modulator of intermediary glucose and lip... Read More about Nigella sativa L. oil ameliorates insulin resistance caused by dexamethasone treatment in male Wistar rats.

Resting serum concentration of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in sportsmen and untrained male adults (2016)
Journal Article

There is an inverse relationship between regular physical activity and concentration of serum inflammatory markers, with variations in resting CRP in trained and untrained subjects. The effect of acute and prolonged exercises has been studied on infl...

Effect of gender on blood pressure and heart rate variability during increasing intensities of isometric hand grip exercise in untrained adults (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Gender has been shown to affect Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) (Winsley et al., 2003). Measures of autonomic neural control of heart rate have indicated that women may have a higher parasympathetic and less sympathetic control o...
