The acute response to high intensity interval exercise in adults with exercise induced bronchoconstriction
(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; ...
Sodium reduction challenges and facilitators in breads and processed poultry products: an industry perspective
(2016-06-01)
Excessive consumption of sodium has been shown to cause high blood pressure (Garriguet, 2007). The breads and processed meat categories were identified as the highest contributors to sodium consumption within the Canadian ...
Assessing neurophysiological and behavioural outcomes of the proximal upper limb muscles in response to novel motor skill acquisition
(2017-08-01)
A single session of motor training with the distal upper limb muscles leads to changes in brain and spinal cord processing. However, the neuroplastic response of the proximal upper limb muscles to novel motor training has ...
Multisensory integration in subclinical neck pain
(2016-08-01)
Subclinical neck pain (SCNP) is recurrent neck pain marked by painful “flare-ups” and minimal to no pain between flare-ups. It is associated with altered proprioception, slower mental rotation response times, and altered ...
Nintendo Wii versus resistance training to improve upper-limb function in children ages 7 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy: a home-based pilot study
(2015-07-01)
This pilot, home-based study compared a Nintendo Wii intervention to a single-joint upper-limb resistance training of a similar intensity, in n=6 children ages of 7 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic CP with respect to upper ...
Investigating the effectiveness of posture coaching and feedback during patient handling activities in a student nursing population
(2017-04-01)
The daily routine of nurses and other caregivers is physically demanding and in turn, the profession is at a high risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries and/or disorders (MSDs). This thesis has two sections. The purpose ...
Community size effects in Canadian National Hockey League draftees: exploring regional variations in community size effects and the influence of population density and proximity to Canadian hockey league teams.
(2017-06-01)
Researcher have identified certain population size categories to be more advantageous in developing elite athletes than others (Côté et al., 2006), giving this phenomenon the name “community size effect”. However, ...
The role of nurse navigators indiagnostic phase of adult patients with lung cancer
(2013-07-01)
Cancer is a major concern in today’s health care field, especially in Canadian adults. The diagnostic phase is a clinical process that involves mapping the patient journey, identifying and prioritizing the symptoms, and ...
The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
(2014-07-01)
The central nervous system’s (CNS) plastic ability allows for adaptation to the various physiological changes and experiences we encounter. This occurs through dynamic shifts within the connections and strengths of neural ...
Cortical adaption influences excitability in the dominant and non-dominant hands following complex novel motor training
(2014-09-01)
The primary motor cortex (M1) can dynamically control the magnitude of motor refinement through motor plasticity. Plasticity can be investigated by looking at changes to motor excitability, which has been established to ...
