The effects of physical activity messages tailored to social setting on extraverts' and introverts' exercise-related social cognitions
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis explored the effects of tailoring exercise messages to social setting based on the personality domain of extraversion on participants’ exercise-related social cognitions. Messages were tailored to either exercising alone (introverted social context) or exercising with others...

The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Virtually-Supported Home Exercise Program for People with Multiple Myeloma
DownloadFall 2021
Introduction: Exercise could help alleviate the significant morbidity experienced by people with multiple myeloma (MM). It is unclear if current cancer-specific exercise guidelines are appropriate for this unique population. Supervision, tailoring, and flexibility are proposed as key program...

Spring 2022
Background: Carbon monoxide alters cardiovascular function through its actions as a signaling molecule and by limiting oxygen delivery in the blood, favouring pro-dilatory and anti-constrictor effects within the vasculature. The impacts of mild carbon monoxide exposure on vascular responses to...

Spring 2013
Background: Exercise adherence is particularly low among elderly patients with low functional capacity. Purpose: This study was undertaken to assess the relationship between measures of physical function (PF) with physical activity (PA) in elderly cardiac patients. Methods: PF was assessed in...

The Relationship Between Aerobic Capacity and Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity in Adult Tetralogy of Fallot
DownloadFall 2019
Background. Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) patients have an aerobic capacity of ~ 50% of age-matched controls. This diminished aerobic capacity may partially be attributed to pulmonary regurgitation that limits augmentation of cardiac output during exercise. ToF patients have also been reported to be...
