KRLS 500A - Senior Undergraduate Research Thesis

Students will pursue a topic of interest at an advanced level in an area relevant to their program of studies in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation and engage in an intensive self-directed study implementation under the supervision of a faculty member. Students are required to complete a detailed research proposal (with literature review and ethics approval if appropriate) in the Fall Term and the implementation of the study in the Winter Term. The Senior Undergraduate thesis involves the definition of an independent research proposal from the student, as well as the implementation of the research project, submission of the completed undergraduate research thesis, and a formal presentation of the project findings. NOTE: Students must arrange for a faculty member approved by the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation to oversee their thesis. Permission for enrollment in this course is required from the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programs in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation. Students must contact their assigned academic advisor for information regarding application and completion requirements. Students must be in their fourth or final year standing in a Faculty of KSR undergraduate program and have achieved a cumulative GPA of a minimum of 3.0 at the time of application.

Dr. Pyke is the Principal investigator in the Cardiovascular Stress Response Laboratory (CVSRL). The CVSRL is focused on understanding how factors encountered in daily life -  psychosocial stress, exercise, food intake and sex hormone exposure impact the structure and function of human arteries.  Major outcomes studied are arterial stiffness and endothelial function.  The vascular endothelium is a single layer of cells that lines all of the blood vessels in the body.  It exerts local control over vascular tone and also plays a key role in modulating atherosclerosis development.
