RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research is an integration of my training in exercise physiology, preventative medicine, and epidemiology. These three fields of study come together in my role as a clinical exercise physiologist. Laboratory research involving metabolic, (lipid, lean body and fat free mass markers) and physiological profiles, are components of my scholarship with my outcomes being primarily population based. Currently, I am working; 1) with colleagues from Alberta Children’s Hospital to investigate the role of leptin as clinical biomarker for childhood obesity and a longitudinal study examining how motor coordination problems, influence obesity in adults and decrease physical activity patterns in children and adolescents; 2) with colleagues from Foothills’ Hospital we are examining how physical activity and energy expenditure play a role in pre-term labour in mum’s expecting twins; and 3) as the primary investigator in a study that is investigating the question: what are the physiological premises being broken by elite female master athletes. I am sought after as a collaborator for grants that require clinical exercise physiology expertise. My collaborations spread across several disciplines including family medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, health promotion, environmental design, and educational psychology.
