Spring 2014
Modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as adiposity, are already associated with atherosclerotic progression in childhood. Less is known about whether physical activity (PA) is associated with progression of atherosclerosis in non-clinical samples of children. This...

Fall 2011
Purpose: This study examined whether parent physical activity (PA) is related to children’s PA, as measured with pedometers. Methods: As part of a longitudinal cohort study being conducted in Edmonton, Canada, 471 children between the ages of 6- and 10-years-old, wore SC-T2 pedometers for four...

The effect of aerobic fitness on the cardiovascular and sympathetic nervous system response to physiological stress at rest and during dynamic exercise
DownloadFall 2012
A cardio-protective adaptation associated with aerobic fitness may be an attenuated sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and cardiovascular response to stress. The hypothesis that the cardiovascular and SNS responses to physiological stress at rest and during exercise would be a function of...

Spring 2010
The effects of exercise intensity on post-exercise measures of intestinal permeability and absorption in sedentary and in active young men were examined in this study. Measures were compared bewteen rest, low intensity and high intensity interval exercise interventions. In spite of the exercise...

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 pulmonary vasculature during exercise in health and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
DownloadFall 2017
The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the response of the pulmonary vasculature to exercise in health (including a pharmacological intervention) and in individuals with mild chronic obstructive lung disease. The first project studied the effect of a dopamine receptor blockade on...

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...
