We recently created a fun handout for participants in the #FENDURA project After the study, each person received it along with personalised feedback on their menstrual cycle characteristics - Maybe someone here also finds it interesting🤗 🖌️Infographic by me and Dionne Noordhof




New 📄 by Andrew D'Souza, NVRL/LBHH in AJP-Heart and Circ: ‘The impact of oral contraceptive pill use on sympathetic transduction at rest in young females’ #westernuKin @VPRWesternU Western University 🔒 doi.org/10.1152/ajphea…

Latest from our group exploring potential mechanisms involved in appetite regulation post-exercise. We show glucose/insulin are not involved as they changed similarly with MICT and SIT but with differential appetite responses. Seth McCarthy Derek Bornath cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.113…

Robert F. Bentley, Jonaline B. Bernal, Daniel C. Basile, Adam N. Di Salvo and Jacob L. Schwartz (U of T Kinesiology & Phys Ed) investigate the effect of a semi-upright body position on the cardiovascular, skeletal muscle and ventilatory responses to submaximal cycling! 📜buff.ly/guXwtBQ



S. Report by LM Colenso-Semple et al (Stuart Phillips (he/him) James McKendry, Ph.D. Changhyun Lim) Oral contraceptive pill phase does not influence muscle protein synthesis or myofibrillar proteolysis at rest or in response to resistance exercise 🔓ow.ly/hgEX50VheKO


The PowerLab ( uofgpowerlab.weebly.com ) is having some big turnover this summer (Avery Hinks Parastoo Mashouri ) and this opens the door to take on new PhD students to work on projects related to muscular adaptations to use/disuse across various structural levels. Happy to chat!!

Congrats to the winners of JAPPL's #APS2025 Summit Awards! EIC Lacy Alexander announced Best Research Article (R. Ramírez-Vélez), Best Review Article (A. D’Souza/M. Wageh), Best Short Report (L. Daly) and Best Impact (T. Balshaw) last night at the APS EEP Section Mixer.

Women will participate in research when given the chance! 94% of female athletes in our lab said they would join future studies and rated their experience positively (77/100). The main barrier to prior participation was a perceived lack of opportunity. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40335164/#:~:t….



Thank you to Ontario Brain Institute and Banting Discovery Foundation for this incredible award that will equip our new lab at Laurier Kinesiology! Excited for the many years of research to come in women's brain and heart health!

This is a fantastic The Globe and Mail article about gaps in women's health -- specifically menopause -- & some ideas & advocates that work to improve life. What else can we do? A🧵... theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
