My
research interests are to examine the impact of exercise and environmental
stress on special populations (pregnant women, military personnel,
and the elderly). My research on fetal well being during maternal
exercise was designed to support and develop guidelines for exercise
during pregnancy. It was found that mothers could exercise at a heart
rate up to 170 beats and improve their level of physical fitness
without adverse effects on the fetus. Physical exercise and environmental
stress can modulate immune function and thus susceptibility to disease.
My research involving military personnel was used to ensure that
recruits were not more susceptible to infectious illnesses when in
training or field operations. At present, my interests are to examine
the role of exercise in the modulation of immune function in the
elderly. Older individuals are more susceptible to certain diseases
(cancer and autoimmune disorders), however, regular moderate exercise
has been shown to improve immune function in the elderly. I will
be examining the hormonal, cellular and molecular mechanisms involved
in such changes.
