(2020-05-25)Abstract Background Conducting research in partnership with stakeholders (e.g. policy-makers, practitioners, organisations, patients) is a promising and popular approach to improving the implementation of research findings ... -
Accuracy of Thresholds Based on Cadence and Lifestyle Counts per Minute to Detect Outdoor Walking in Older Adults With Mobility Limitations
(Human Kinetics, Inc., 2020-05)To determine the optimal threshold, based on cadence and lifestyle counts per minute, to detect outdoor walking in mobility-limited older adults. Methods: Older adults (N = 25, median age: 77.0 years, interquartile range: ... -
Allyship in elite women’s sport
(Routledge, 2020)Throughout 2019, retired athletes Martina Navratilova (tennis), Sharron Davies (swimming), Kelly Holmes (athletics) and Paula Radcliffe (marathon) all spoke publically about what they perceive to be the unfairness of trans ... -
Citizen science applied to building healthier community environments: advancing the field through shared construct and measurement development
(2017-09-29)Abstract Background Physical inactivity across the lifespan remains a public health issue for many developed countries. Inactivity has contributed considerably to the pervasiveness ... -
The effect of a new road safety device with auditory alerts on older drivers
(Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, 2008)The purpose of this study was to examine a newly designed road safety device as used by older drivers. The Otto Driving Companion (Persen Technologies, Winnipeg, MB) is a portable device that provides drivers with "instant ... -
The Effect of Fuel Prices on the Driving Patterns of Older Adults
(Transportation Research Part F: Psychology and Behaviour, 2018)Examining environmental factors that influence older adults’ driving patterns has important implications for understanding factors that can lead to self-regulation and cessation. The current study explored the effect of ... -
An Evaluation of the Roadwise Review: A Mixed Methods Approach
(Traffic Injury Prevention, 2011)Objective: The objective of this mixed methods study was to perform an evaluation of the Roadwise Review CD-ROM (RWR), a self-screening tool for older drivers. Methods: Ninety-six older drivers (67 to 91) used the RWR ... -
An examination of the concordance between self-reported collisions, driver records, and insurance claims in older drivers
(Journal of Safety Research, 2018-12)Background Previous studies of older drivers have found that there are discrepancies between their retrospective self-reports of collisions and the official jurisdictional record. Objectives The purpose of this study was ... -
Exercise in Pregnancy and Children’s Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2018-08-02)Abstract Background Maternal metabolic health during the prenatal period is an established determinant of cardiometabolic disease risk. Many studies have focused on poor ... -
Force–velocity relationship in Paralympic powerlifting: two or multiple-point methods to determine a maximum repetition
(2022-08-24)Abstract Background Due to the absence of evidence in the literature on Paralympic Powerlifting the present study investigated various methods to assess bench press maximum ... -
Impact of a randomized possible selves experiment on new retirees’ physical activity and identity
(2016-08-27)Abstract Background Retirement is not always associated with greater engagement in physical activity. Previous interventions informed by possible selves, a type of future-oriented ... -
Modeling age-related neuromuscular changes in humans
(NRC Research Press, 2009-08)With aging, motoneurons and muscle tissue undergo significant changes, which influence function in terms of strength, mobility, and overall independence. Mathematical modeling provides a practical method of studying the ... -

(Human Kinetics, Inc., 2009-10)This exploratory study examined the feasibility of using Garmin global positioning system (GPS) watches and ActiGraph accelerometers to monitor walking and other aspects of community mobility in older adults. After ... -
Motor interactions with another person: do individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder plan ahead?
(frontiers, 2013-04-17)Interpersonal motor interactions (joint-actions) occur on a daily basis. In joint-action situations, typically developing (TD) individuals consider the end-goal of their partner and adjust their own movements to accommodate ... -
Naturalistic Driving Patterns of Older Adults Before and After Cataract Surgery
(Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018-10)Background. Cataract surgery can have many benefits for older adults, including enabling continued driving. However, it is not known how objectively measured driving patterns change after cataract surgery. Objective. The ... -
Older driver estimates of driving exposure compared to in-vehicle data in the Candrive II study
