Kidney transplantation: a systematic review of interventional and observational studies of physical activity on intermediate outcomesJamie Hugo Macdonald
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, United Kingdom
Adv Chronic Kidney Dis 16:482-500. 2009..In kidney transplant patients, physical activity intervention is warranted to enhance physical functioning. Whether exercise impacts on outcomes associated with longevity of life requires further study...
Exertional Fatigue in Patients With CKDJamie H Macdonald
College of Health and Behavioural Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, United Kingdom Electronic address
Am J Kidney Dis 60:930-9. 2012..However, fatigue mechanisms are poorly understood due in part to nonspecific definitions. This study investigates exertional fatigue during simulated activities of daily living, focusing on oxygen delivery and utilization...

Emerg Med J 29:753-7. 2012..To characterise the physical fitness of mountain rescue (MR) volunteers and the physical demands of a typical MR callout...
Matched-cohort study of body composition, physical function, and quality of life in men with idiopathic vertebral fractureJamie H Macdonald
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, Gwynedd, UK
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 64:92-100. 2012..To determine the effect of 6 years of routine management on body composition, physical functioning, and quality of life, and their interrelationships, in men with idiopathic vertebral fracture...
Athletic profile of highly accomplished boulderersJamie H Macdonald
Extremes Research Group, School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, UK
Wilderness Environ Med 22:140-3. 2011..Bouldering is a discipline of rock climbing completed at low height. Despite its popularity, scientific description of this sport remains sparse. This study aims to characterize the athletic profile of highly accomplished boulderers...
Body composition at high altitude: a randomized placebo-controlled trial of dietary carbohydrate supplementationJamie H Macdonald
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Bangor University, George Building, Bangor, Gwynedd, United Kingdom
Am J Clin Nutr 90:1193-202. 2009..Body mass loss is inevitable with chronic hypoxic exposure. However, the exact body-composition changes, their causes, and possible treatments remain unknown...
Response of electromyographic variables during incremental and fatiguing cyclingJamie Hugo Macdonald
Renal Unit, Ysbyty Gwynedd, Penrhosgarnedd, Bangor, UK
Med Sci Sports Exerc 40:335-44. 2008..Recent methodological advances permit the estimation of muscle fiber-conduction velocity (MFCV) from EMG signals recorded during dynamic exercise. However, EMG responses to incremental and fatiguing cycling are poorly understood...
Nandrolone decanoate as anabolic therapy in chronic kidney disease: a randomized phase II dose-finding studyJamie H Macdonald
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales Bangor, Bangor, UK
Nephron Clin Pract 106:c125-35. 2007..In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving adequate erythropoietin therapy, the ideal dose of nandrolone decanoate (ND) to enhance muscle mass is not known...
Muscle mass deficits are associated with bone mineral density in men with idiopathic vertebral fractureJ H MacDonald
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales, George Building, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 2PZ, UK
Osteoporos Int 18:1371-8. 2007..The causes of idiopathic vertebral fractures (IVF) in men are poorly understood. We hypothesised that in IVF, areal bone mineral density (aBMD) deficits would be associated with reduced muscle mass...
GFR estimation using cystatin C is not independent of body compositionJamie MacDonald
School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, University of Wales Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2PZ, UK
Am J Kidney Dis 48:712-9. 2006..Cystatin C (CysC) is an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that is claimed to be unaffected by body composition. In this study, we tested this speculation...
