  • Maintain Respiratory Muscle Function and Reduce Pneumonia Risk in Cancer Patients Rochester, MN

    This research is intended to begin to explore the impact of inspiratory muscle resistance exercise and/or 1,25(OH)2D3 for improving respiratory muscle strength in cancer patients (subjects).

  • A Study to Evaluate Molecular Mechanisms of Exercise Benefits in Insulin Resistant People Rochester, MN

    The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 3-month resistance exercise program (in people aged 50 to 75) on muscle mass, body composition, muscle strength, brain function and cognition, muscle efficiency processing blood sugar, the body’s ability to build muscle, and fat cells.

    Earlier research has shown that exercise has significant benefits in preventing certain diseases and conditions such as diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and more. We also know from other research that resistance exercise (lifting weights) and aerobic exercise (running, biking, walking), improve metabolism through separate ways on the molecular level, also called “molecular pathways.” With ...

  • Remote Intervention for Strength Training in Endometrial Cancer Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to positively impact endometrial cancer (EC) survivorship through a fully remote home-based exercise program. We believe this type of survivorship care will be accessible, sustainable, and scalable. We seek to design and implement a telehealth strength-based exercise intervention in rural EC survivors, a group currently overlooked in most survivorship studies.
