Development and initial testing of a virtual simulation training module to teach microtomy
(2022-08-01)
Background: Microtomy is a procedure that medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) use to cut tissue samples. The aim of this thesis is to use the think-aloud protocol to develop a virtual simulation training module for ...
The association between sleep quality and anxiety among postsecondary students
(2022-05-01)
Introduction: Poor sleep quality has been associated with anxiety in postsecondary students. However, high-quality epidemiological evidence about this association is lacking.
Purpose: To determine whether poor sleep quality ...
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, ...

Methods: Cross-sectional study in the ...
Exploring the effects of mental fatigue on perceptual motor task performance and kinematics
(2022-11-01)
Mentally demanding tasks that require performance accuracy are common in several occupations. However, little is known about how mental fatigue can impact accuracy performance. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to ...
Development of a novel consensus-building methodology to design valid simulation-based medical education-supporting technologies
(2022-12-01)
Industry 4.0 has introduced new combinations of technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the way in which medical education, more specifically healthcare simulation, is delivered. However, the integration of ...
