Characterizing physical activity documentation patterns and curriculum of Canadian family physicians
DownloadFall 2022
Family physicians (FP) can be meaningful advocates to support patients to attain the benefits of physical activity (PA); however, the PA-related documentation FPs make in electronic medical records (EMR) is largely unknown. The purpose of this dissertation was to conduct three studies: to examine...

Collaborations in UNESCO Biosphere Regions/Reserves: Interagency collaboration in the Beaver Hills Biosphere versus inter-biosphere collaborations across Canada
DownloadSpring 2022
Collaboration, as both the practice of working together and building organizational resilience, is paramount to addressing the complex problems of current conservation efforts. In an attempt to balance the social and ecological worlds, UNESCO Biosphere Regions/Reserves (BRs) outline collaboration...

Does stimulus pulse width influence contraction fatigability during neuromuscular electrical stimulation?
DownloadFall 2019
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used to generate contractions of muscles for rehabilitation after injury or disease to restore functional movements or reduce secondary complications of disuse. However, due to the unnaturally high discharge rates and random recruitment order of...

Does The Timing of Exercise Affect Glucose Concentrations in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes?
DownloadFall 2019
Background: It is well known that exercise can improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the glycemic response to exercise is highly variable. One of the primary causes of variability in response to a single bout of exercise may be timing in relation to meals....

Fall 2018
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been dramatically increasing globally. Exercise is recommended as a first line treatment, along with diet and medications. The mechanisms by which exercise improves glycemic control are not fully understood but are typically attributed to changes in...

Background: Most Canadians are inactive. Given insufficient physical activity is linked to multiple chronic diseases and mortality, increasing physical activity has become a public health priority. To inform future interventions, modifiable correlates and determinants of physical activity need to...

Fall 2022
Contraction-mediated inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction (sympatholysis) is enhanced in female compared with male rats. Acute pharmacological blockade of nitric oxide (NO) production abolished the sex difference in sympatholysis, indicating that NO-mediated sympatholysis is elevated in...

Evaluating the Effect of a Ten-Minute Aerobic Cooldown on the Blood Glucose Response of Adults with Type 1 Diabetes Following Fasted Resistance Exercise
DownloadFall 2023
Abstract Introduction: Despite the health promoting effects of physical activity and exercise, people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are less active than people without diabetes. This disparity is partly due to the risk of hypoglycemia and the tedious steps required to prevent or treat hyperglycemia...

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...
