Centre researchers want to recruit 120 toddlers and small children with asthma which has been diagnosed by a medical practitioner as moderate to severe. Associate Professor Heather Mohay, QUT to run the centre’s director, said the program tourism aimed to keep children healthy and enjoying life by establishing good habits conference of taking their preventative medication. “We have realised you really have to teach children how to manage their Page 2 asthma as soon as they start to have symptoms, because non-compliance is a major problem – the kids get an asthma attack and they end up in hospital and/ or missing school,” Professor Mohay said. “This program started because we realised that children didn’t understand the condition – the fact that asthma is often intermittent. So you may feel quite well, but you may need to take your medication because it prevents attacks.” Professor Mohay said it had been established children who had asthma When it comes to 'puffer time' for their young sibling, the Lumley triplets of Calamvale before the age of five had a high risk of — Sarah and Timothy — know just how to give Rachel plenty of support continuing to have lifelong asthma. “We looked around for education and conducted with the assistance of Dr the videos, the book and health history Earlier this year, more than 400 programs for young children and found Brent Masters, a respiratory physician at questionnaires, with mothers asked to children throughout Brisbane and the there was absolutely nothing – all the the Mater Children’s Hospital.

Academic Editor: Arno Schmidt-Trucksäss Received: 19 November 2015; Accepted: 18 February 2016; Published: 24 February 2016 Abstract: This study examined the acute training responses of heart rate variability (HRV) and salivary biomarkers (immunoglobulin A and alpha-amylase) following a standardised training bout in Paralympic swimmers. Changes in HRV, sIgA and sAA were documented Monday morning, Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning over a 14-week monitoring period leading into international competition. Magnitude based inferences with effect sizes (ES) were used to assess the practical significance of changes each week. Normal training responses elicited increases in HR, α1, sAA and sIgA, accompanied by decreases in HF(nu), standard deviation of instantaneous RR variability (SD1) and the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) from Monday morning to Monday afternoon, and to Tuesday morning with similar week to week responses for most variables. Changes in RMSSD from Monday a.m. to p.m. were likely smaller (less negative) for Week 7 (78/18/3, ES = 0.40) following a competition weekend with similar changes observed from Monday a.m.
