Articles:
- "Psychosocial Impacts on Exercise Tolerance"
By Shawn N. Fraser, PhD candidate, Faculty of Physical Education and
Recreation, University of Alberta.
This article summarizes two recent studies on the effects of social and
psychological factors on exercise tolerance tests. This connection can be
especially important for heart patients. Practitioners use these tests not
only to determine patients' ability to exercise, but also to help diagnose
coronary artery disease and to prescribe safe levels of rehabilitative
exercise.

- "Preventing Eating Disorders in Alberta Schools: 'Making the Most of ME'"
By Dianne Drummond, RD, MSc candidate, & M. Suzanne Hare, RD, MSc candidate.
This article discusses the Making the Most of ME, an instructional program
intended to reduce the risk of eating disorders and to improve
health-building behaviours in school-aged children.
