Journal Article

Background: With approximately 11 million strokes occurring annually worldwide, and over 6.5 million deaths annually, stroke has made its place as one of the major killers in the world. Although developing countries make up more than 4/5 of the globa... Read More about A systematic review of the epidemiology and the public health implications of stroke in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Effect of gender on blood pressure and heart rate variability during increasing intensities of isometric hand grip exercise in untrained adults (2023)
Journal Article

The impact of sexual dimorphism on physiological responses to exercise has been a major issue. Gender variation in exercise responses is a major indicator in understanding gender-specific adaptations to exercise for athletic performance and overall w...

Associations of physical activity, kidney function, diet, and inflammatory markers in high-risk type-2 diabetes with early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) (2022)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVES Quantitative information and associations of physical activity, kidney function, diet, and inflammation are dearth in high-risk diabetes. Yet could delay type-2 diabetes, late-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and could be useful in desig... Read More about Associations of physical activity, kidney function, diet, and inflammatory markers in high-risk type-2 diabetes with early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD).

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...
