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 Effect of Dopamine on Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity and Capillary Blood Volume Responses to Exercise
DownloadFall 2017
Pulmonary diffusing capacity increases during exercise to meet the increasing oxygen (O2) demand of the body. Expansion of pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) and diffusing membrane capacity (Dm) are important contributors to the increased diffusing capacity observed during upright cycle...

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 effect of exercise training on metaboreflex regulation of heart rate and blood pressure
DownloadSpring 2015
The metaboreflex is a cardiovascular reflex which activates the sympathetic nervous system when a mismatch between oxygen delivery and demand occurs during exercise; metabolic by-products accumulate in the interstitium of skeletal muscle tissue and stimulate afferent nerve fibers. This in turn...

The Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Carotid Chemoreceptor Activity and Sensitivity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
DownloadSpring 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk, which may result from heightened sympathetic nerve activity secondary to elevated carotid chemoreceptor (CC) activity/sensitivity. Our recent work indicates that CC activity/sensitivity is elevated...

The Effects of Cranial Cooling During Uncompensable Heat Stress in Fire Protective Ensemble
DownloadSpring 2014
Scarlett, Michael Philip Brown
This experiment investigated the physiological effects of cranial cooling during recovery from fully-encapsulated exercise with fire protective ensemble. On two separate days, twelve males completed 2x20 minutes of treadmill exercise (EX1 and EX2) at 65 ± 4 % of VO2peak, each followed by 20...

The Effects of Culture on Conceptualizations of Leisure, Control, and Positive Affect Between Japanese and Canadian Undergraduate Students
DownloadSpring 2014
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine: (a) similarities and differences in conceptualizations of leisure between Japan and Canada and between two Japanese leisure-like terms: yoka and rejā (Study 1); (b) the effects of leisure participation on Japanese and Canadian undergraduate...

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 Effects of Varying Fibre Composition on Simulated SEMG Signals in the Time and Frequency Domains
DownloadFall 2012
Whether SEMG can be used as a tool to estimate muscle fibre type concentrations remains an interesting question in muscle physiology. It is speculated that fast twitch motor units may have increased conduction velocities and that this may lead to an increased SEMG mean power frequency when...

The End of the Road?: Discipline and Retirement in British Professional and Semi-Professional Football
DownloadFall 2013
Overman (2009) has noted that there is no single representative experience of retirement in sport; however, it is clear that retirement from sport is challenging (Sparkes, 1998). Despite over sixty years of sports retirement research, problems continue to be reported amongst retiring athletes...
