Are Sex and Estrogen Modulators of Sympathetic Vascular Control in Resting and Contracting Skeletal Muscle?
DownloadSpring 2018
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether sex and estrogen modulate sympathetic neurovascular control in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. This thesis also investigated the hypothesis that the effects of sex and estrogen on neurovascular control would be mediated by the signal...

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....

Influence of an Exercise-Specific Face Mask on Physiological, Respiratory, and Perceptual Responses to Graded Exercise in Aerobically Fit Individuals
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: Research indicates that there are no health risks associated with face mask use during exercise in healthy individuals. However, the impact of a face mask on physiological, perceptual, and performance responses to exercise of all intensities remains equivocal. Evidence suggests mask...

Relationships of Social Physique Anxiety and Behavioural Regulations to the Intention-Behaviour Gap Model
DownloadFall 2020
Given the increasing rate of inactive individuals, it is crucial that there is research focused on understanding the factors that may be related to lower exercise behaviour. A number of constructs are known to have a relationship with participation in exercise behaviour, including social physique...

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...
