Are you a healthy non-smoking adult interested in contributing to cutting-edge research on breathing, breathlessness, and exercise?
Researchers at McGill University’s Clinical Exercise and Respiratory Physiology Laboratory (CERPL) are seeking participants for a study examining how breathing mechanical loads affect inspiratory muscle activation and breathlessness during exercise.
The study involves three lab visits, including lung function tests, cycling exercise, and safe, controlled breathing challenges, all in downtown Montreal.
The Gibbs Lab at McGill is looking for adults aged 50 and above, diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes to participate in a research study.
Participation involves one audio-recorded interview conducted via Microsoft Teams or by phone.
The study aims to identify preferences, information needs, and perceived barriers related to exercise for the management of bone health in older adults with diabetes. Adults over 50 with diabetes are often unaware of their increased risk of bone fractures, which can lead to disability, hospitalization, and significant healthcare costs.
