Even more gratifying than I thought it would be!! Biggest thank you to my supervisors for their endless support and guidance @shilpa_jes @Pauldialysis @tom_wych + Katia Ferrar @ARENA_UniSA @UniversitySA

CDIC PI Dr. @BohmClara is leading an international trial investigating whether a 12-week cycling program during hemodialysis treatments improves heart function. Read more about the program in the article below from study site @CentralAdlLHN in Australia. ➡️centraladelaide.health.sa.gov.au/new-trial-star…

Really enjoyed putting this paper together for CJASN @asnpublications with other @GREXercise ➡️A guide to successful exercise prescriptions ➡️Understanding the barriers and facilitators ➡️Taking an activity history, ➡️How to tailor exercise ‘dose 🔗pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40085159/

“We need to get them moving” @BrettTarca enlightening the room at ANZSN Renal Nutrition Update Day on what we can do to get people living with CKD moving #renalnutrtition @ANZSNasm @GREXercise @RenalNutrition @NephroDietitian

Thesis submitted ✅ Thesis passed ✅ PhD conferred ✅ Graduation ceremony ✅ Chapter officially closed 🎓 Biggest thank you to Katia @shilpa_jes @tom_wych @PaulDialysis1 @UniversitySA @ARENA_UniSA

ANZSN Renal Nutrition Update Day! SAVE the date: 🗓️ Sunday 1st Sept ‘24 in our beautiful city of Adelaide ☀️ … …more details to follow

4/4 Results indicate cardiorespiratory fitness could be routinely monitored to detect risk of physical function decline & all factors targeted through intervention to enhance physical function! @shilpa_jes @PaulDialysis1 @tom_wych + Katia Ferrar @KIReports @ISPD1 @ARENA_UniSA

3/4 Temporal changes over the 12-months were also observed for these factors with significant mean declines in cardiorespiratory fitness (−9.8%), quadricep strength (−5%), MVPA (−25.9%) and total physical activity (−16.2%), and an increase in sedentary time (+7.1%).

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 1/4 Second study from my PhD exploring the influence of modifiable physical factors [cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, physical activity & sedentary behaviour] on #PhysicalFunction for people receiving #PeritonealDialysis doi.org/10.1016/j.ekir…

📢GREX Webinar 2024 is on YouTube now! A huge thanks to @heitorribeiros for the moderation of a fantastic panel @queenofdialysis, @BrettTarca and Dr. Naushad Junglee on 'Exercise in Kidney Disease: Let’s start the conversation'. 🔗Check it out here: youtu.be/s1-1LzuUacM?si…

@queenofdialysis @CourtneyJLight @GREXercise Lenny also attended but was asleep by the door 😅 now practicing what we preach 🦮🚶‍♂️

@CourtneyJLight @GREXercise @BrettTarca Awww hey Willow from Cleo, who stared accusingly at me for the whole of the webinar 😂

Willow enjoying her first @GREXercise webinar. Great insights about exercise in CKD from @BrettTarca @queenofdialysis and Dr Naushad Jungle 💪

3/4 In addition, participants reported ecological momentary assessment and mobile technology were feasible and useful tools to capture important symptom data with potential to be employed in future research or, as part of improved care in this cohort.

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 1/4 First study from my PhD! The first to employ ecological momentary assessment in a cohort of people receiving #PeritonealDialysis to collect real-time symptom data, exploring fluctuations and associations with physical activity! kireports.org/article/S2468-…

📢Upcoming @GREXercise webinar ft. @BrettTarca @queenofdialysis @heitorribeiros "Exercise in kidney disease, let's start the conversation" 📅Thursday 25th Jan 2024 🕗8pm GMT 🔗us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Not a surprise but good to have evidence. I’ve told people on PD for years that a walk is as important as doing a PD exchange @GREXercise @ISPD1

3/3 @shilpa_jes @PaulDialysis1 @tom_wych & Katia Ferrar

2/3 Most physical activity and exercise-related side-effects reported in this study can be considered normal responses to exercise, were infrequent, rarely prevented participation, were low to mild in severity and generally self-managed or required low level of care to resolve!

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 1/3 Final study from my PhD builds on the emerging evidence that physical activity and exercise are likely safe for people receiving #PeritonealDialysis and, should be considered as part of their routine care management. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iOuo3l1O131…
