- Overview
-
My research explores how exercise affects the development of the heart and arteries. While substantial evidence exists demonstrating the beneficial effects of physical activity on cardiovascular disease risk, we do not have a clear understanding of how regular exercise can change the structure and function of our heart and vascular system, and how this differs in men and women. Gaining knowledge in this area is important for us to effectively prescribe exercise for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Research Roundup: January 2022
This month’s Research Roundup covers how increasing parent-child proximity in the first days of life can improve toddler behaviour later on, what lean body mass can tell us about the health of pediatric kidney transplant recipients, insights into the barriers to knowledge translation in Canadian pediatric health-care centres, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of saline gargle COVID-19 tests.
