Feasibility of an Aerobic Exercise Intervention in Rectal Cancer Patients During and After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
DownloadFall 2015
Background: Standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer includes long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) followed by definitive surgery. NACRT improves outcomes but it is also associated with significant toxicities and declines in physical fitness that may impede treatment...

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...

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 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...

Intentions of Canadian healthcare professionals to prescribe exercise to people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
DownloadFall 2015
Lack of effective treatment options exist for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A relatively inexpensive treatment option for people with ALS (PALS) is exercise. However, it is unclear whether healthcare professionals (HCP’s), working in ALS clinics across Canada, currently...

An Examination of Sex Specific Differences in Glucose Responses Using the Exercise – Physical Activity and Diabetes Glucose Monitoring (E-PAraDiGM) Protocol
DownloadFall 2017
Background/Objective. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) allow researchers to examine various aspects of circulating glucose profiles in response to exercise. Exercise studies using CGM in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) vary in regards to the type and timing of exercise, making it...

Magazine Images Depicting the Ideal Fit Male Body: An Outlet for Influencing Body Perceptions and Exercise Related Cognitions
DownloadFall 2012
This study examined the effects of viewing health/fitness and sports magazine images on body perceptions and exercise related cognitions in males. The moderating effects of age were also examined. A series of 3 (image-only, magazine cover, control) by 3 (youngest, middle, oldest) ANOVA analyses...

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...
