(2022-07-01)
This thesis sought to investigate how adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) influences processes relating to motor learning, sensory integration, and somatosensory processing. ADHD is associated with ...
Effect of neck muscle vibration on upper limb sensorimotor integration and motor performance
(2022-07-01)
Upper limb control depends on accurate internal models of the position of the limbs relative to the head and neck. The cerebellum is heavily involved in SMI of neck sensory inputs and motor learning; therefore, it is likely ...
Exploring the participation pathways among high-performance varsity soccer players: is it as simple as specializing or sampling?
(2022-06-01)
Research on the sport participation patterns of youth athletes often contrasts two types of participation: early sport specialization (Ford & Williams, 2017) and sampling/ diversification (Coté et al., 2009). However, the ...

Pushing the limits of performance. is it really mind over matter? an investigation into the effects of menthol mouth rinsing and the capacity for fatigue amelioration in trained adolescent male cyclists under heat stress
(2022-08-01)
This thesis investigated the effects of menthol (MEN) mouth rinsing (MR) on performance responses in trained adolescent male athletes during a modified variable power cycle test (M-VCT). Participants (n=11) cycled for ...
Exploring the feasibility of a novel experimental method to study talent selection and decision making in high performance sport
(2022-08-01)
Talent selection in sport takes place from early stages of development through professional ranks. Athletes are regularly selected for youth teams, high school teams, as well as collegiate and professional teams (Jones, ...
Examining the practice approaches used by registered dietitians in Canada when working with higher weight adults
(2022-08-01)
A cross-sectional, national, online survey of Canadian Registered Dietitians (RDs) was conducted to explore the various practice approaches used when working with higher weight adults. Specifically examined was the use of ...
Parent descriptions of the active play behaviours of their twins and triplets with autism
(2022-08-01)
Children with autism engage in active play in different ways than children who are neurotypical, but the active play behaviours of children with autism are not well understood. Research with twins and triplets with autism ...
Response of salivary IL-8 to prolonged and interrupted sitting
(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 ...
