Acute cardiopulmonary responses to different intensities of exercise in healthy older adults
Linares, Andrea (2019-12-01)The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the acute cardiopulmonary responses to different intensities of exercise in healthy older adults. Thirty healthy older males and females (69.6 ǂ 6.2 yrs.; males n = 15) ... -
The acute response to high intensity interval exercise in adults with exercise induced bronchoconstriction
O'Neill, Carley (2016-05-01)INTRODUCTION: Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIBC) occurs as a result of airway cooling and drying in adults with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Continuous exercise leads to a significant decline in lung function; ... -
The acute response to sprint interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise in adults with and without airway hyperresponsiveness
Good, Joshua (2017-07-01)Introduction: Sprint interval exercise (SIE) has been proposed as a time efficient way to improve physical activity levels; however, SIE has not been studied in adults with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Methods: Eight ... -
Comparing exercise responses to high intensity interval training between adults with and without asthma
O’Neill, Carley (2020-06-01)Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIBC) occurs in response to high ventilations during exercise, which cools and dries the airways, triggering an inflammatory cascade. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is associated ... -
Compensation in movement behaviours following exercise of different intensities in older adults
Goncin, Nikola (2019-08-01)The overall purpose of this thesis was to assess compensation in movement behaviours of older adults following exercise. Participants (n=28, 69.7±6.5 years) completed the following exercise protocols in random order, one ... -
Identifying salivary biomarkers associated with prolonged sitting
Meens Miller, Emmeline (2023-04-01)The effect of prolonged sitting on salivary biomarker concentrations is relatively unexplored. The purpose of this work was to identify novel biomarkers, detectable in the saliva in response to prolonged and interrupted ... -
Informing the creation of an evidence-based app for daily physical activity in schools
Rodych, Rileigh (2019-12-01)It has been well document that physical activity has positive effects on physical health and well-being, as well as academic performance. In contrast, sedentary behaviour has been associated with negative health implications, ... -
Physical activity levels and modes of physical activity among Canadian adults with obstructive respiratory disease
Jagroop, David C. (2017-07-01)Purpose: To investigate physical activity levels and modes of physical activity among Canadian adults with obstructive respiratory disease. Methods: Data from respondents with self-reported asthma, chronic obstructive ... -
Physiological responses to pedal-assist e-bike use in older adults
Jenkins, Michael (2021-12-01)Pedal-assist electric bicycles (pedelecs) have been found to elicit moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in younger adults, however, it is unknown if pedelec riding elicits MVPA in older adults or if ... -
Response of salivary IL-8 to prolonged and interrupted sitting
O’Rourke, Nicholas (2022-08-01)The effect of prolonged sitting on inflammation, as determined by cytokine profiles, is relatively unexplored. The purpose of this work was to determine the reliability of salivary IL-8 (CXCL8) and the response of IL-8 to ... -
Seasonal changes in functional fitness and neurocognitive performance in youth ice hockey players
Avery, Michelle (2017-07-01)Changes in functional fitness and concussion status were evaluated over the course of a competitive season in youth ice hockey players, and relationships between these variables and injury incidence were examined. Thirty-six ... -
Sedentary time and hospitalization in Canada's middle-aged and older adults
Lustosa, Lucio Goncalves (2021-04-01)Sedentary Time (ST) is a widespread behaviour in all age groups, especially in older adults. It is associated with chronic conditions, falls and poor physical function. Our purpose was to investigate the association between ...
