Feasibility of Monitoring Functional Capacity in patients undergoing treatment for Head and Neck Cancer
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction: Functional capacity is an indicator of physical fitness and overall health. Low physical fitness has been reported across the cancer spectrum; this can be addressed through exercise interventions. Functional capacity is largely unstudied in head and neck cancer patients. ...

Immediate and Long-term Effects of Exercise Rehabilitation on Daily Physical Activity of Patients with Cardiopulmonary Disorders
DownloadSpring 2016
It is well known that there is an inverse relationship between physical activity (PA) and mortality in patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Consequently, PA is considered the core component of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs. Despite the health benefits, the adherence to regular PA...

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations between physical activity, screen time, and fitness in a sample of young children from Edmonton, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Background: High fitness is associated with several positive health outcomes; however, fitness of Canadian children has declined over the past two decades. Correlates of fitness in children under 10 years of age are relatively unexplored, and few studies involving young children have looked at...

Physical Activity in Association with Prognostic Determinants Across Heart Failure Continuum
DownloadFall 2020
Heart Failure (HF) is a complex syndrome that greatly contributes to declining physical function in older adults and causes a substantial economic burden for health care systems. Older adults at risk of developing HF typically have other comorbidities. In addition, patients with HF often...

Physical Activity in Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder
DownloadSpring 2024
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (hEDS/G-HSD) are two connective tissue disorders that are tightly intertwined as they both result in joint hypermobility-induced musculoskeletal manifestations and are placed on the same clinical spectrum. The...
