Utilizing heavy loads is important when designing resistance training programs for older adults. Although eccentric (i.e. lengthening under tension) contractions were not necessary to build strength in older adults, they were more effective than traditional resistance training June 18, 2021 Dr. Ashley Gluchowski, PhD, CSEP-CEP Healthy Ageing Research Group, The University [...]
Designed to identify the small number of individuals who should seek medical advice as a first step to becoming or continuing to be physically active during the months that they are pregnant...
Over the short term (3 months), the COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on training or dietary intake in elite paracyclists, demonstrating the resilience of this group. May 14, 2021 Keely Shaw, PhD Candidate, CSEP-CEP College of Kinesiology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada Background Five months before the opening [...]
The Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy (GAQ-P) and associated Health Care Provider Consultation Form for Physical Activity during Pregnancy have been designed to identify individuals who may not benefit from prenatal exercise, while reducing barriers to physical activity for the majority of pregnant individuals. April 18, 2021 Brittany Ward, CSEP-CEP Program [...]
CSEP Position Stand: Acute effects of muscle stretching on physical performance, range of motion, and injury incidence in healthy active individuals: a systematic review
Isolated bouts of brief intense exercise over the course of the day – known as “sprint exercise snacks” – can improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in sedentary young adults. March 16, 2021 Hashim Islam, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow School of Health and Exercise Sciences, UBC Okanagan Background Low CRF is an independent predictor [...]
CSEP Position Stand: Acute effects of muscle stretching on physical performance, range of motion, and injury incidence in healthy active individuals: a systematic review
During everyday life, humans experience fluctuations in temperature which can influence muscle performance. For example, cooling the muscle has been shown to slow muscle contractile speed and decrease strength. February 17, 2021 Mathew Debenham, PhD Candidate School of Health and Exercise Sciences, The University of British Columbia Okanagan Background [...]

Pre-screening for physical activity using an evidence-based screening tool is an important first step in ensuring a safe and enjoyable physical activity experience.
Published since 1983, this monthly journal focuses on the application of physiology, nutrition, and metabolism to the study of human health, physical activity, and fitness.
Public health officials have suggested the use of masks to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Our results suggest wearing a mask during exercise will have no impact on performance. December 15, 2020 Keely Shaw, PhD Student University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada Take home message Wearing a [...]
This study explored whether experimentally increasing blood lactate increased muscle protein synthesis, an important process that contributes to an increase in muscle mass. November 20, 2020 Jeremy Cohen, MSc Student, and Chris Pignanelli, PhD Student Human Performance and Health Research Lab, Department of Human Health and Nutritional Science University of Guelph, [...]
Ingesting the ketone monoester supplement before exercise increased blood ketone levels in 30 minutes.
