Does overload exercise training alter autonomic nervous system activity and hemodynamic regulation in aerobically fit men?
DownloadFall 2014
In general, chronic endurance training has positive effects on physiological function. However, the performance of training in excess of what an individual is able to recover from can lead to performance, physiological and psychobiological maladaptation. The purposes of this investigation were to...

EASE-BE-FIT: Elder-Friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment Bedside Reconditioning for Functional Improvements An Innovative Reconditioning Program for Elderly Emergency Abdominal Surgery Patients
DownloadSpring 2017
Introduction: Elderly individuals who are hospitalized due to emergency abdominal surgery spend on average over 80% of their recovery time in bed, resulting in early and rapid muscle loss. As these elderly individuals have a lower physiological reserve, the impact of muscle wasting on function...

Effect of heavy load carriage on respiratory mechanics and breathing pattern during graded exercise
DownloadFall 2010
The effect of heavy load carriage on pulmonary function at rest and on breathing pattern and lung volumes during graded exercise was studied. Fifteen males completed treadmill tests to measure VO2peak with and without a 25-kg pack. Subsequently, each subject completed short periods of treadmill...

Examining Movement Behaviours in Preschool-Aged Children: Novel Measurement and Data Analysis Techniques
DownloadFall 2020
Movement behaviour patterns (e.g., more sleep, less sedentary behaviour, and more physical activity) in isolation have demonstrated benefits to preschool-aged children’s development. However, the integrated nature of movement behaviours is a relatively unexplored area. This scarcity of evidence...

Examining the Associations Between Relatedness and Motivational Regulations Within Different Exercise Contexts: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective
DownloadFall 2015
There are numerous forms of exercise in which an individual can partake. Some individuals will persist at one activity while others will persist at another activity. Research has been limited in exploring motivational characteristics of participants in different activities, with some past...
