Juett L, Funnell M, Carroll H, James L, Mears S
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40053075
Purpose: Exercise-induced hypohydration exacerbates biomarkers of renal injury, but studies isolating the effects of hypohydration without exercise have produced mixed findings. This study investigated the effects of 24-h severe fluid...

Mougin L, Macrae H, Henderson A, Cable T, Taylor L, James L, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2025 Jan; 138(2):508-517. PMID: 39855633
This study compared oxygen consumption and substrate oxidation while exercising in hot and temperate conditions in individuals with different physical activity statuses (i.e., inactive individuals vs. trained runners). Ten inactive...

Cable T, Funnell M, Reynolds K, Hudson E, Macrae H, Johnson D, et al.
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2024 Dec; PMID: 39699639
Purpose: 7 days L-citrulline supplementation has been reported to improve blood pressure, O kinetics, gastrointestinal (GI) perfusion and endurance cycling performance through increasing arterial blood flow. In situations where blood...

Reynolds K, Funnell M, Collins A, Mears S, Pugh J, James L
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2024 Dec; PMID: 39690507
Purpose: This study investigated the effect of cycling in a warm vs temperate environment with sufficient facing airflow on exogenous glucose use, performance, and GI responses. Methods: Ten trained male...

Mougin L, Bougault V, Racinais S, Mountjoy M, Stephenson B, Carter S, et al.
Br J Sports Med . 2024 Jul; 58(15):870-881. PMID: 38955507
The upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games could face environmental challenges related to heat, air quality and water quality. These challenges will pose potential threats to athletes and impact...

Peden D, Derbyshire S, Funnell M, McLeod C, Rumbold P, Hansell E, et al.
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2024 May; 124(10):3085-3093. PMID: 38809478
Purpose: Cow's milk is one of the most hydrating beverages, but many individuals choose not to consume dairy in their diet due to intolerance, allergy, or dietary preference. Milk is...

Funnell M, Juett L, Reynolds K, Johnson D, James R, Mears S, et al.
Eur J Nutr . 2024 Feb; 63(4):1125-1137. PMID: 38349552
Purpose: Rapid gastric emptying and intestinal absorption of beverages is essential for rapid rehydration, and certain amino acids (AA) may augment fluid delivery. Three sugar-free beverages, containing differing AA concentrations...

Funnell M, Moss J, Brown D, Mears S, James L
Physiol Behav . 2024 Jan; 276:114462. PMID: 38215862
Dehydration of >3 % body mass impairs endurance performance irrespective of the individual's knowledge of their hydration status, but whether knowledge of hydration status influences performance at lower levels of...

Funnell M, Mears S, James L
J Sports Sci . 2023 Nov; 41(17):1581-1586. PMID: 37979194
Cycling time trial (TT) protocols have been shown to be reliable in trained cyclists, but their reproducibility in lesser-trained individuals is unknown. This study examined the reliability of a self-paced...

Juett L, Drury J, Greensmith T, Thompson A, Funnell M, James L, et al.
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2023 Oct; 124(4):1085-1096. PMID: 37848571
Purpose: Recent studies have shown that hypohydration can increase renal injury. However, the contribution of hypohydration to the extent of renal injury is often confounded by exercise induced muscle damage....
