“Be kind to yourself – because you’re doing fine”: using self-determination theory to explore the health-related experiences of primiparous women participating in a motivational interviewing-via-co-active life coaching intervention
(2017)
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are a vulnerable time for the onset of
obesity, especially in primiparous (first-time) mothers. Because postpartum weight retention is a
strong independent risk factor for chronic ...
The immediate effects of Tai Chi on the postural stability, muscle activity and measures of inferred ankle proprioception of healthy young adults
(2020)
Tai Chi has often been applied in research among older adults to affect postural stability and
proprioception in the lower limbs; however, little is known about the effects Tai Chi may have in
these domains among healthy ...
Comparison of innovated thermoplastic polyurethane and commercial helmet lining technology in mitigating concussions as measured by linear accelerations and risk of head injury during simulated horizontal impacts to the head
(2020)
Advances in helmet designs and technology have not completely eliminated the incidence
of mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) in the sport of ice hockey. One issue that concerns
researchers is that the vinyl nitrile ...
Identifying use of knowledge translation theory in applied ergonomic research
(2020)
Introduction. Work-related injuries are a leading cause of physical disabilities impacting
individuals’ quality of life. Work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries continue to impact
Ontario employers costing approximately ...
Towards examining the effectiveness of boxing headguards with thermoplastic polyurethane in mitigating acceleration and risk of head injury using a dynamic head model
(2021)
The sport of boxing historically symbolises a high-risk injury sport due the number of
concussions occurring on athletes. Indeed, boxing has shown to have the highest rate of
concussions of any individual male sport. ...
Intra-limb coordination and control in individuals with stroke. Conceptual and methodological considerations
(2022)
Stroke results in substantial difficulties in reaching and grasping actions, which may
emerge at different levels of coordination and control, in both the spatial and temporal domains.
In the context of motor control, ...
The relationship between perfectionism and creativity in competitive dancers: the moderating role of autonomy-supportive teachers
(2022)
Creativity is becoming an increasingly important aspect of being a successful dancer.
Dancers are now being asked to be a part of the development and choreography of their routines
and performance (Butterworth, 2004; ...
We deserve that care and attention we are trying to nurture within other people: exploring the experiences of co-active life coaches on self-care and professional practice during the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021)
Self-care is broadly defined as a chosen, proactive initiated practice, with the goal of
promoting well-being. Self-care provides many social, emotional, and psychological benefits,
and it is important to understand its ...
Comparing the symmetry of walking in transtibial amputees: biomechanical differences of prosthetic heel lifts
(2022)
Prosthetic devices provide an avenue to accommodate transtibial amputees and
mechanically restore some of their walking functionality. The loss of a lower limb results in
significant mobility changes for these individuals’ ...
Implications of the metaboreflex on cerebral blood flow: physiological responses and assessment strategies
(2021)
Exercise is responsible for acutely modifying cerebral blood flow (CBF) during an exercise bout,
and eliciting chronic increases to resting CBF in trained individuals. Research to date has
focussed on the individual ...
