As an exercise physiologist, I have an interest is the acute and chronic physiological adaptations that occur in humans in response to dynamic exercise. In particular, I have an interest in the cardiopulmonary responses to aerobic exercise, and the role the pulmonary system may play in both facilitating and limiting exercise. With exercise training, virtually every organ system in the human body adapts to meet the increased metabolic demand that results. It has traditionally been thought that the lungs do not adapt with exercise training, that, unlike the heart for example, an athlete’s lungs are virtually the same as a sedentary individual because the lungs are “overbuilt” to begin with. This paradigm, however, has been challenged with the observations that athletes do not always have efficient pulmonary gas exchange during exercise. Changes in altitude significantly and sometimes unpredictably affect human metabolic ability, and the changes that occur in terms of the pulmonary system’s ability to maintain oxygenation of blood are vast and complex, particularly when altitude is combined with heavy exercise. These relationships form the basis of my main scholarly interest.

I also have an interest in occupational physiology, performance, and health. For 17 years during my university education I worked seasonally in the reforestation and forest fire-fighting industries throughout Northern B.C. and Alberta. I witnessed an industry that places extreme physical and psychological demands on workers, and a workplace that presents unique acute and chronic health and safety hazards. Tree planting has consistently been considered one of Canada’s most physically demanding occupations, yet there is a paucity of research in the industry. One of my interests is to explore the occupational demands in the forestry sector, and to better understand the unique physiological challenges facing these workers.
