Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Time Motion Characteristics and Heart Rate Profiles Displayed by Female University Ice Hockey Players
DownloadSpring 2015
The purpose of this study was to estimate the demands of female Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) ice hockey through the use of time-motion analysis (TMA) and heart rate (HR) measurement during league games. A convenient sample of 22 female ice hockey players (14 forwards and 8 defense)...
