Physiol Rep . 2018 Feb; 6(4). PMID: 29464893
The purpose of this study was to assess whether changes in physical fitness relate to changes in cardiovascular risk factors following standardized, center-based and supervised exercise training programs in subjects...

Verheggen R, Poelkens F, Roerink S, Ramakers R, Catoire M, Hermus A, et al.
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2016 Jul; 48(12):2378-2386. PMID: 27414688
Purpose: The benefits of aerobic exercise training on insulin sensitivity in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are, at least in part, associated with changes in cytokines. Recent studies identified novel...

Snijders G, van Bokhoven S, van Zadelhoff J, Swierstra B, Poelkens F, Martens H
Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd . 2016 May; 160:A9777. PMID: 27165454
Transient osteoporosis is an increasingly recognized condition that causes severe pain in weight-bearing joints and is characterized by otherwise unexplained bone-marrow oedema on MRI. We present two patients, a 40-year-old...

Schreuder T, van den Munckhof I, Poelkens F, Hopman M, Thijssen D
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2014 Oct; 115(2):317-26. PMID: 25308877
Objective: Little is known about the impact of exercise training on conduit artery wall thickness in type 2 diabetes. We examined the local and systemic impact of exercise training on...

Poelkens F, Lammers G, Pardoel E, Tack C, Hopman M
Exp Physiol . 2013 Jun; 98(10):1485-94. PMID: 23771909
The metabolic syndrome, a combination of interrelated metabolic risk factors, is associated with insulin resistance and promotes the development of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is a...

Lammers G, Poelkens F, van Duijnhoven N, Pardoel E, Hoenderop J, Thijssen D, et al.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab . 2012 Sep; 303(10):E1245-51. PMID: 23011062
Physical deconditioning is associated with the development of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Exercise training effectively counteracts these developments, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown....

Oudegeest-Sander M, Eijsvogels T, Verheggen R, Poelkens F, Hopman M, Jones H, et al.
Gerontology . 2012 Sep; 59(1):8-16. PMID: 22948012
Background: Physical activity is known to influence sleep efficiency. Relatively little is known about the relationship between physical activity and sleep efficiency in young and older humans and the impact...

Groothuis J, Poelkens F, Wouters C, Kooijman M, Hopman M
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2008 Jul; 105(3):811-5. PMID: 18635882
Leg vascular resistance is calculated as the arterial-venous pressure gradient divided by blood flow. During orthostatic challenges it is assumed that the hydrostatic pressure contributes equally to leg arterial, as...

Poelkens F, Rakobowchuk M, Burgomaster K, Hopman M, Phillips S, MacDonald M
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab . 2007 Jul; 32(4):670-6. PMID: 17622281
An increase in age coincides with a decrease in arterial compliance, which is related to a higher risk for cardiovascular accidents. Evidence regarding the effects of resistance training on arterial...
