Sympathetic nervous system regulation of cardiovascular function: effect of acute and chronic exercise on the normative adaptations in healthy pregnancy
DownloadFall 2021
Introduction: Pregnancy is associated with profound changes to the sympathetic nervous system control of blood pressure while maintaining blood pressure itself. This involves a coordinated increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) alongside reduced sympathetic baroreflex gain (BRG) and...

Temporal relationships among physical activity levels and stationary time in preschool-aged children and adolescents: An investigation of the ActivityStat hypothesis
DownloadFall 2023
The ActivityStat hypothesis suggests that movement can be internally regulated by a biological control center. Specifically, humans maintain their total physical activity (PA) at a constant level by triggering behavioural and/or energy compensatory responses. However, there is considerable debate...

Fall 2020
There has been ongoing debate in therapeutic recreation (TR) regarding the role of recreation as a means to an end, or as an end in itself since the field emerged in the early 1900s. The roots of the field are in both hospital and community recreation, and despite numerous attempts over the last...

The Association of Exercise Blood Glucose Levels and Post-Exercise Hypoglycemia in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
DownloadFall 2020
Guidelines suggest that people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) start exercise with moderately high blood glucose (8-10 mmol/L) (BG) to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia; however, those fearing hypoglycemia often start higher. This study aimed to determine the impact of afternoon aerobic exercise with a...

The Biocultural Entanglement of Athlete Training Responses Across the Menstrual Cycle in Recreational Runners
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Recent progress in exercise science research has facilitated greater understanding of female athlete physiology, in particular regarding the menstrual cycle (MC) and human performance. Yet, a comprehensive understanding of this topic remains tentative (Casto, 2022). Existing research...

The effect of a high-fat meal on sympathetic vasoconstrictor responsiveness in healthy young males and females
DownloadSpring 2020
Consumption of a high-fat (HF) meal has been linked to diminished vascular function, evidenced by decreased postprandial flow mediated dilation (FMD). This is thought to occur through a decrease in nitric oxide bioavailability. A postprandial decline in nitric oxide bioavailability may also...

The Effect of CrossFit vs. Resistance Training on Aerobic, Anaerobic, and Musculoskeletal Fitness
DownloadSpring 2019
Background: Although a number of studies to date have investigated the acute physiological outcomes of single CrossFit Workout Of the Days (WODs) and/or fitness attributes of well-trained CrossFit athletes, the variable populations, training histories, and short duration analysis of participants...

The Effects of Loaded Squat Exercise Variations on Tri-Planar Hip Net Joint Moments and Deep Gluteal Requirements in Resistance Trained Females
DownloadSpring 2023
Gluteus medius and minimus (hereafter, the deep gluteals) contribute to everyday movement by providing both supportive and propulsive actions, such as during gait. Deep gluteal weakness has been associated with chronic low back pains, knee pains, and abnormal skeletal development. Due to these...
