Our sincere congratulations to Myles O’Brien, Saïd Mekari, Shirko Ahmadi and Madeline Shivgulam of IMPACTS Lab and their colleagues Eléonor Riesco and Renaud Tremblay for obtaining a grant from the Research Related Support Fund of ResearchNB. In this project, the team is investigating whether device-based higher intensity physical activity and less sedentary time explains the expected relationship between frailty and blood pressure regulation. The study is being conducted among residents of long-term care facilities in New Brunswick.
