Current Nutrition Promotion, Beliefs And Barriers Among Cancer Nurses In Australia And New Zealand, Mike Climstein, P Puhringer, Alicia Olsen, Sally Sargent, Lynette Jones, Justin Keogh

Mike Climstein

Rationale. Many cancer patients and survivors do not meet nutritional and physical activity guidelines, thus healthier eating and greater levels of physical activity could have considerable benefits for these individuals. While research has investigated cancer survivors’ perspective on their challenges in meeting the nutrition and physical guidelines, little research has examined how health professionals may assist their patients meet these guidelines. Cancer nurses are ideally placed to promote healthy behaviours to their patients, especially if access to dieticians or dietary resources is limited. However, little is known about cancer nurses’ healthy eating promotion practices to their patients. The primary aim …

Graded Resistance Exercise And Type 2 Diabetes In Older Adults (The Great2do Study): Methods And Baseline Cohort Characteristics Of A Randomized Controlled Trial., Mike Climstein, K Simpson, Yorgi Marvos, J Meiklejohn, N De Vos, Y Wang, Q Guo, R Zhao, Bt Baune, S Blair, Aj O'Sullivan, N Singh, Maria Singh

Mike Climstein

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is projected to affect 439 million people by 2030. Medical management focuses on controlling blood glucose levels pharmacologically in a disease that is closely related to lifestyle factors such as diet and inactivity. Physical activity guidelines include aerobic exercise at intensities or volumes potentially unreachable for older adults limited by many co-morbidities. We aim to show for the first time the efficacy of a novel exercise modality, power training (high-velocity, high-intensity progressive resistance training or PRT), in older adults with T2D as a means for improving glycemic control and targeting many associated metabolic and physiological …

The Physiological, Musculoskeletal And Psychological Effects Of Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Mike Climstein, Ben Schram, Wayne Hing

Mike Climstein

Physiotherapists routinely utilise exercise as a key component of patient rehabilitation. Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is a rapidly growing sport and recreational activity where anecdotal evidence exists for its proposed health, fitness and injury rehabilitation benefits. While limited scientific evidence exists to substantiate these claims, our current research has shown that a high level of fitness, strength and balance exists amongst participants of this activity

Research Review: Exercise Can Be So Demanding, Michael Climstein, Joe Walsh

Mike Climstein

Introduction: It’s the last week of university and I’m preparing my last lecture for a colleague who is in Las Vegas at a strength and conditioning conference. Hmmph! Just not fair – and on top of sending an email from the poolside reminding me to give the lecture, he has the audacity to complain about the 40°C weather (did I mention it’s been single digits temperature here on the Gold Coast in the mornings?) Anyway, getting back on topic, I’m preparing his lecture on obesity and am including a number of slides on basal metabolic rate, resting metabolic rate, assessment …

Sarcopenia In Older Adults, Timothy Henwood, Justin Keogh, Mike Climstein

Mike Climstein

Extract:
Sarcopenia is a little acknowledged geriatric syndrome associated with significant health care and personal burden (Janssen et al 2004). Defined by an age associated loss in muscle mass and function (either muscle strength or physical performance), sarcopenia is a known precursor to later life disability (Cruz-Jentoft et al 2010). Across the lifespan, an adult can expect a 35% loss in muscle size and 50% loss in muscle strength that will significantly reduce their capacity to undertake activities of daily living, and increase their risk of falls due to reduced balance capacity and core strength (Bean et al 2002).
