Abstract:
Background Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is associated with numerous adverse effects that impact on quality of life and contribute further to the cost burden of prostate cancer (PCa) via treatment and supportive care. Exercise medicine is effective in slowing PCa progression, reversing treatment adverse effects and improving quality of life and survival of patients, however, no economic analyses have been conducted to determine whether exercise is cost-effective in this population. Objectives Firstly, to examine the adverse effects of ADT for PCa and the evidence supporting the use of exe

Exercise participation is linked to mental health and wellbeing. However, we need to identify optimal settings for promoting exercise-associated wellbeing outcomes, and for promoting exercise adherence. The literature suggests environmental settings may be important. The aim of this thesis was to rigorously test influences of environmental settings on exercise-related wellbeing outcomes. These over-arching research questions guided the experimental chapters: (i) is there an optimal green exercise environment for promoting wellbeing?

Abstract:
A common treatment for prostate cancer, which is the most common form of cancer after skin cancer in Australian males, is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, ADT is associated with an array of adverse effects including reduced bone and lean mass, loss of muscle strength, negative change in lipid profile, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as diabetes, all of which can compromise physical function and quality of life. Physical exercise has been suggested as a key lifestyle intervention for this group of cancer patients as it has enormous potential to limit and e

The importance of protein feeding for maximising the anabolic effect of resistance exercise is well established. Ingestion of amino acids or intact protein sources with and without carbohydrate during exercise recovery further stimulates muscle protein synthesis.

This thesis demonstrates that an acute bout of resistance exercise further augments the protein synthetic rate of muscle already stimulated by food intake. Simulating everyday practice, whereby re

Abstract:
Widespread physical inactivity and resultant increases in cardiovascular and metabolic disease is a serious public health concern in the developed World. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of research evidence suggests that physical activity is an effective intervention in addressing this state of affairs. An apparently strong case exists for the widespread clinical prescription of physical activity (PA). The application of PA in both preventative and remedial health is often termed ‘exercise is medicine’. Whilst on the basis of a large volume of laboratory data there is some consensus regardin

Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension is a disease characterised by progressive pulmonary vascular remodelling and obliteration with consequent development of right heart failure and ultimately death. First described many decades ago with a median survival of less than 3 years and no available treatments, the development of disease specific pulmonary vasodilator therapy has led to only modest improvements in survival and it remains an almost universally fatal disease. One of the key symptoms of pulmonary hypertension is exercise intolerance, primarily a consequence of the underlying right ventricular failure

Although originally linked to cardiology, recently studies have investigated the effects of IPC administered on a limb prior to exercise with some showing improvements in exercise performance.

We set out to determine if longer-term feeding of GTE could increase fat oxidation rates during a steady state exercise bout to a greater degree than an acute dose.

Thus, increasing cardiorespiratory capacity prior to surgery via preoperative exercise training could potentially alter postoperative outcome. High intensity exercise training (HIIT) has been demonstrated to be an efficient training intervention to increase cardiorespiratory capacity in as little as 2 weeks. It wa

Abstract:
This thesis investigated three commonly used nutritional interventions that are often claimed to alter substrate metabolism and improve exercise performance: green tea extract (GTE), coffee and vitamin D. GTE and caffeine have been hypothesized to increase fat oxidation at rest and during exercise, thereby lowering the reliance on skeletal muscle glycogen and improving endurance exercise capacity. We observed that 7 days GTE supplementation resulted in an increase in metabolites related to fat and energy metabolism at rest but not during moderate intensity exercise. The current thesis also fou

Abstract:
Exercise has been demonstrated to influence susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) because various aspects of immune function including mucosal immunity are temporarily changed after exercise. Lower concentrations of salivary 19A (s-IgA) as a predominant immunoglobulin and component of saliva or a chronic deficiency in s-IgA have been associated with an increased frequency of URTI episodes. Previous studies of aerobic exercise have incorporated the performance of running or cycling. Responses of s-19A to intermittent exercise patterns as they occur in soccer remain to be r
