Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of chronic L-carnitine and carbohydrate supplementation on body composition, perceived exertion, and athletic performance in recreationally-trained female endurance runners. Methods. On three separate occasions, twenty-one days a part, seven recreationally-trained female endurance runners performed a timed progressive treadmill test to exhaustion as well as a body composition assessment using the Bod PodÒ. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups – L-carnitine (LC) or L-carnitine plus carbohydrates (LC + CHO). The LC group consumed 2 g of L-carnitine L-tartrate and the LC + CHO group consumed 2 g …
Activity Behavior And Physiological Profile Of Advanced-Stage Ovarian Cancer Survivors, Christelle Schofield
Activity Behavior And Physiological Profile Of Advanced-Stage Ovarian Cancer Survivors, Christelle Schofield
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Background: Advanced-stage ovarian cancer survivors (OCS) often experience a multitude of disease symptoms and treatment-related side-effects. Additionally, most OCS are older, have comorbidities, are overweight or obese, and report being insufficiently physically active. Ovarian cancer survivors may benefit from exercise oncology interventions to reduce symptom-burden, manage comorbidities, minimize functional decline and maximize health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, current knowledge gaps regarding the physiological characteristics of OCS throughout the entire survivorship spectrum challenge the development of tailored exercise interventions.
Purpose: The overall purpose of this thesis was to provide a more comprehensive physiological and activity behavior profile of post-treatment advanced-stage …
