Overview

The Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute (HLHPRI) is among the most diverse institutes at the University of Manitoba. As a highly productive and multidisciplinary institute, we examine the physical, psychosocial and functional aspects of health. The Institute is part of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management (FKRM), and its laboratories and research offices are primarily located within 10,000 square feet of Max Bell Centre. Dr. Phillip Gardiner, a Canada Research Chair (Physical Activity and Health Studies), is the Institute’s director. In 1993, eight Research Affiliates worked out of HLHPRI. Today, 42 Research Affiliates/Associates work under the HLHPRI umbrella (22 of them are external to the Faculty, and eight of those are international affiliates from Uganda, Kenya, Europe and the U.S.). As research that focuses on health, leisure and human performance continues to gain significance in the lives of today’s Canadians, the Institute promises to remain a primary force in making a difference. Besides our extensive research endeavours, the HLHPRI further promotes its mission through teaching. A graduate program consisting of two thesis-based Master’s degrees, as well as a Ph.D. program in Applied Health Sciences, offers students the opportunity to be taught by – and work with – the Institute’s nationally and internationally recognized researchers.

Message from the Director

Dr. Phillip Gardiner, Associate Dean (Research) and Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity and Health Studies I am very pleased to report that 2008-09 was another year of exceptional accomplishments by members of the Research Institute. As an academic unit, we have continued our tradition of bettering our previous year’s production in terms of published and presented works, and bettering our previous year’s research funding in the form of awards from various sources. Our outreach activities in the provincial, national, and international arenas have never been more extensive, nor have they ever involved so many of our Institute members in their collectivity. Our recent (past two years) new Institute members have shown success in obtaining various forms of support (infrastructure, research grants, laboratory space) for their unique and exciting research. We have succeeded in appointing three new members who will be beginning their positions July 1, 2009. During all this activity, we have been taking part in Faculty strategic planning, with a specific Institute planning session planned for September 2009, during which we will attempt to map out the next five years of the Institute’s future. Exciting times indeed!

The Institute has been very involved in both ongoing and new international projects this year. The existing project – led by research affiliates Drs. Michael Campbell, Kelly MacKay (Kinesiology and Recreation Management), and David Walker (Faculty of Environment) is a six-year $999,500 CIDA project to develop a Master’s degree program in collaboration with the Wildlife and Animal Resource Management Department of Makerere University in Uganda, the Uganda Wildlife Authority and Uganda Tourism Board. In addition to the Master’s degree, a key element of the project is the development of community tourism initiatives in regions and communities surrounding national parks in Uganda. John Bosco, a Ph.D. student from Makerere University, spent four months on an exchange at the University of Manitoba beginning in September 2008. During his time in the Faculty he took part in classes with fellow graduate students and also presented in the Research Seminar Series (see below).

Sport without Borders: Mentoring International Leadership Excellence is a new project involving members of every pillar of the Faculty and one of the Faculty’s partners from Winnipeg in motion, in addition to colleagues from Kenyatta University (Kenya), Kenya Medical Research Institute, and Terik Education Promotion and Development. This project was funded through a SSHRC development grant awarded to Drs. Jennifer Mactavish, Jane Watkinson (Kinesiology & Recreation Management) and Maritim Songok (Faculty of Medicine). The main objectives are to identify mutually beneficial, collaborative opportunities to conduct research; develop a ‘sport for development’ curriculum for training Canadian and Kenyan undergraduate and graduate students; in addition to other outcomes that could emerge via this collaborative process. The first workshop was hosted in Kenya from April 20 – 24, 2009. In addition to other members of the Faculty, research affiliates Drs. Jennifer Mactavish and Todd Duhamel, and Winnipeg in motion partner Jan Schmalenberg traveled to Nairobi to participate.

Research Affiliates Drs. Jennifer Recreation Management), and Zana Lutfiyya (Faculty of Education), members of the Vulnerable Persons Act Examination Committee, were selected to receive a Community Living – Manitoba President’s Award. The award recognizes outstanding individual and organizational accomplishments in endeavours influencing the lives of persons living with an intellectual disability in Manitoba. Congratulations to Jennifer and Zana for this recognition of their important and ongoing work.

As noted elsewhere in this report, strategic planning has been an important activity within the Faculty this year. The Research Institute and the Graduate Program collaborated in a joint session to look at their current goals and activities within the context of the Faculty’s new vision and mission. The Institute will be building on the process initiated during the half-day session in December, by holding a full day retreat in early September. An important item on the agenda will be to review ways in which the Institute could most effectively support the cadre of new academics recruited to the Faculty within the last 12 months.

One of those new Faculty members is Dr. Todd Duhamel (see pg. 15). Todd completed his Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo, and came to the Institute in September 2008 after completing a two-year post-doctoral fellowship placement within the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the St-Boniface General Hospital Research Centre. His research interests have a general focus on the role of physical activity in chronic disease prevention. It was a great first year for Todd, who was successful in his application for NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council) funding for his latest project. Another recently recruited Faculty member, Dr. Jon McGavock, who started in July 2008, also enjoyed significant success this year (see pg. 17). Jon received a five-year Scholar Award from the Canadian Diabetes Association. Great work, Todd and Jon! (Details regarding their grants/awards are included in the Grants & Awards section of this report).

The Research Institute also enjoyed another stimulating Research Seminar Series with presenters from as far as Australia and Uganda – and as close as the Research Institute – sharing their latest, most innovative research.

Labs, Offices and Groups LABORATORIES AND RESEARCH OFFICES

The Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute occupies 10,000 square feet of space on the second and third floor of Max Bell Centre. Research activities in the Institute are supported by eight laboratories and research offices:

• Exercise and Environmental Medicine Laboratory • Exercise Physiology Laboratory • Leisure and Tourism Laboratory • Biomechanics, Sport and Human Performance Laboratory • Lifespan and Disability Research Office • Laboratory for Aging and Health Research • Neuromuscular Performance and Aging Laboratory • Neuromuscular Plasticity Laboratory

These laboratories provide space and equipment for the research activities of the Institute. Many of the student research assistants who work for the Institute have workspace within the offices and labs.

RESEARCH GROUPS

There are currently five active research groups in the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute:

• Health and Wellness • Disability, Culture and Diversity • Exercise and Environmental Medicine • Leisure and Tourism • Sport and Human Performance

Since 1992, the Institute has developed partnerships with other units at the University of Manitoba and with community-based partners from all levels of government, non-profit organizations, hospital and private corporations. As a result of such partnerships, the Institute has begun to attract Faculty from other units on campus who desire a more formal affiliation in order to pursue research related to the Institute’s mission.

These research groups represent an association of University scholars who share research interests and who engage in collaborative or closely related research activities. The purpose of the research groups is to promote and facilitate communication and collaboration among its members, and to establish the legitimacy of the group both inside and outside the University.

By now, we all know that exercise contributes to good health.

But we still have a lot to learn about exactly why that is.

Enter HLHPRI’s Dr. Todd Duhamel, whose research focuses on the biological mechanisms that explain how physical activity can enhance health.

“We know that exercise is good, but we don’t really fully understand how it has those effects, or how it is that cells are being changed so they’re able to be healthier,” says Dr. Duhamel, a University of Waterloo alum (B.Sc. in Kinesiology; M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Work Physiology) who splits his time between FKRM and the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences at the St-Boniface Hospital Research Centre.

“We know that being sedentary is a bad thing, and that exercise is good, but we need to know the hows and whys. And if we know those things, we can develop better exercise programs, and educate people as to the ways that (cells) work.

“(Another) thing we can do is design new drugs that mimic some of the effects of exercise, although medicines will never be as good as exercise itself.”

One of the latest additions to the HLHPRI roster, Dr. Duhamel spends much of his time laboring in the wet labs at St-Boniface, where he’s partnered with the Cardiac Sciences Program and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority to examine the link between physical inactivity and cardiac morbidity and mortality.

Currently, the bulk of his research involves animal models and cell culture models, with an eye on building the foundation for future clinical trials.

“We use exercise interventions to enhance the health status of sick animals, with the intention to try to get them healthy again,” he says of his research methodology.

“Or we’ll take cells and mimic the effect of disease in a test tube. Then we cause the cells to contract or we activate different processes that we know exercise has an effect on, and we determine if the contraction or exercise-mediated signaling process can improve the function of individual proteins.”

There’s a great deal of crossover between Dr. Duhamel’s work with HLHPRI and with the ICS at St-Boniface, though in the case of the latter, his arrival seems especially fortuitous.

“They’re interested in looking at anything to do with cardiovascular disease, and it happens that my research looks at physical activity and heart health, so it’s a natural fit,” he says.

“Another thing is that over there (at St-Boniface), they have very little expertise in the field of kinesiology or exercise science. Two thirds of the Canadian population is at risk of heart disease because they’re sedentary, so the fact that they didn’t have an exercise specialist over there left a big hole in their research program.”

The recent recipient of a Research Fellowship from the Heart and Stroke Research Foundation of Canada, Dr. Duhamel says his new role within the Institute should help pave the way for further milestones, as well as major research breakthroughs leading to improved disease prevention and treatment.

“My connection to the Institute has provided me with a lot of access to policy makers and community partners,” says Dr. Duhamel, who in April 2009 was successful in his first grant application, obtaining $125,000 in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).

“One of the grants (I’ll be submitting in the future) is to put a kinesiologist into a WRHA clinic, where we’ll actually be trying to demonstrate that kinesiologists can significantly improve primary health care. Without the Institute, there’s no way I could have done that.”

Normally, we’d be hard pressed to find the silver lining behind news that of all the provinces in Canada, Manitoba boasts the highest incidence rate of type 2 diabetes in youth.

But credit where credit due: the dubious distinction did figure prominently in Dr. Jonathan McGavock’s decision to set up shop here, and to narrow the scope of his research to focus on pediatric populations.

“Our research program is built upon trying to understand whether we can predict type 2 diabetes in high-risk adolescents, and to define the optimal type of exercise training to prevent it from developing,” says Dr. McGavock, an FKRM alum (B.P.E. 1997) who returned to Winnipeg following research stints in Quebec, Alberta and Texas.

“In addition to these important questions, our group is trying to tackle issues at the population level, including how much activity should schools be providing to youth, in order to prevent obesity diabetes from happening? And at the community level, if your child has already been diagnosed with diabetes, what can we do to prevent complications from presenting?”

At present, the bulk of Dr. McGavock’s research concerns youth aged 13 to 18. Having first worked with school-aged kids in Alberta (where he worked to pinpoint physical fitness levels that might prevent children from becoming overweight), he now focuses exclusively on child and adolescent health, in particular the links between obesity and type 2 diabetes.

“Since returning to Winnipeg in the fall of 2006, our group completed one of the largest studies of physical activity and fitness in youth-onset type 2 diabetes in the country. Specifically, we were looking at new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) techniques and standard fitness tests to discover factors that predict whether an overweight child progresses to type 2 diabetes or remains diabetes-free,” he says.

“Our first major finding was that youth who have type 2 diabetes tend to have lower fitness levels, are far less active and are characterized by substantially higher levels of fat in their livers than their overweight peers. That means that either once they’re diagnosed, or before they’re diagnosed, they’re not getting enough exercise to give them the fitness level you would normally expect of someone their

Page 18 of 60

age. We’re not sure if that contributes to their disease, but we know it is related to the risk factors that lead to the disease. We think that having a low activity level sets your body up for being at risk for diabetes.”

“And in otherwise healthy children, we’ve found that if your fitness level is below average for your age you’re nearly four times more likely to become overweight within a year.”

Dr. McGavock also collaborated with a team of physicians from the Children’s Hospital (Drs. Elizabeth Sellers and Heather Dean) to learn that children with diabetes may be able to manage their disease through lifestyle, a discovery that could result in alternative treatment plans besides the standard regime of insulin and other medications.

“Most physicians treat patients right away with drugs, but the downside is we don’t know what the longterm effects of those drugs are,” he says.

“We found that there are a cohort of adolescents who are able to manage their blood sugars with lifestyle alone. If they increase their activity levels, if they reduce pop in their diet, if they get more sleep and if they’re surrounded by a supportive family environment, then they’re able to maintain near-normal blood sugars without having to take medication.”

Dr. McGavock also works with aboriginal populations (where rates of both type 2 diabetes and obesity tend to be higher), having aligned with HLHPRI’s Dr. Joannie Halas to implement her culturally-sensitive peer-mentoring models in an effort to reduce the growing incidence of type 2 diabetes among Aboriginal youth.

“We have recently partnered with Garden Hill First Nation to set up fitness programs in the local high school,” says Dr. McGavock, who in 2008 received a number of grants (from the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Manitoba Health Research Council, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, among others).

“We’ve installed fitness equipment, hired community members who are now delivering culturally appropriate activity programs in the evenings for families living with type 2 diabetes. Our message is: ‘If you’re concerned about diabetes – or about managing your diabetes – here’s the place to get it done.’”

Saint Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia Ever wondered about the impact of 21st-century technology on the way we experience historical sites and other cultural attractions?

For answers, look no further than the research conducted by FKRM Assistant Professor Dr. Christine Van Winkle, who’s spent years examining visitors’ experiences at festivals, events and cultural sites.

A University of Manitoba alum (Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Recreation Studies) who earned her Ph.D. in at Clemson University in South Carolina, Dr. Van Winkle returned to FKRM in 2007 to begin work on two recently-completed studies.

The first involved a comparison of guided tours and audio tours carried out in Winnipeg’s Exchange District during the summer of 2008.

In partnership with the Exchange District Business Improvement Zone (BIZ), Dr. Van Winkle developed a series of self-guided audio (and in some cases, video) tours, then downloaded them to iPods which were distributed to tourists.

Once the tours were over, subjects were asked to take part in a research survey, so their “interpretations” of the tour could be compared with those of participants who’d gone on the guided tours.

“People felt like they learned better from the guided tours than the audio tours, and there are all sorts of reasons why that would be the case,” says Dr. Van Winkle, whose second study involved a series of interviews on tourism learning experiences.

“One thing we’re looking at is whether the (iPods) themselves caused something called cognitive load, where so much of your working memory is being used to understand the device, that you don’t get a chance to process the information.

“The people who go on these tours tend to be a bit older – people who are less familiar with the technology. So it’s important when you’re implementing these kinds of technology-based programs, that you have a system set up to educate your visitors as to how to use them.”

Page 20 of 60

Personal media devices also play a role in Dr. Van Winkle’s current study, in which she’s exploring the use of such devices at festivals and cultural events.

“More and more festivals are using things like cell phones to get visitors engaged in the event experience – like when you’re able to take pictures of your friends, send them to an e-mail address, and they’re uploaded live at the festival or event,” she explains.

“The first step in that project will be to look at all the festivals throughout North America, to see whether or not they use personal media devices to communicate with or engage their visitors. And if so, what are the most common uses?”

As with the audio tour vs. guided tour comparison, a demographics’s familiarity with emerging technologies has a direct effect on their level of engagement and enjoyment. So while older festival-goers (and even some older festival programmers) may not understand how best to capitalize, the coming generation will expect an experience that’s tailor-made to their increased capacities for learning.

“Technology to them is invisible – it’s just a way to get access to whatever it is they want,” says Van Winkle, whose work was made possible via funding from the University of Manitoba Grant Research Program and by an Image, Text, Sound and Technology Research Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

“They’re going to demand more technology-based interfaces when working with festivals, events and cultural sites, so the event sites have to keep pace, which can be challenging. Often they don’t have a lot of resources, so hopefully this research provides some of those sites with an opportunity to look at how they can best implement it, given their goals.”

Collaborative Partnerships

It is an important part of the mandate of the HLHP Research Institute to maximize opportunities not only for interdisciplinary research but also intra-faculty collaboration. Listed below are several examples of current collaborative projects in priority areas that have resulted in strong partnerships, both within and external to the University. Enhancing Rural Livelihoods in Uganda through Sustainable Community Tourism

Never underestimate the mobilizing power of monkey business.

That’s one of the lessons imparted recently by a team of HLHPRI researchers who’ve been working to help communities in Uganda enhance their livelihoods through sustainable tourism initiatives.

The partnership was first launched in 2006, when FKRM’s Dr. Michael Campbell and a team of colleagues (among them FKRM’s Dr. Kelly MacKay, Associate Dean Academic, and the U of M’s Dr. David Walker, Assistant Professor of Environment and Geography) were awarded a six-year, $999,500 Canadian International Development Agency grant to develop a Master’s Degree program in Wildlife Tourism in collaboration with the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the Uganda Tourism Board and the Wildlife and Animal Resource Management Department of Makerere University in Uganda.

In addition to the creation of the degree program (implementation of which begins in August 2009), another key element of the project is the development of community tourism initiatives in regions and communities surrounding national parks – many of which are home to endangered species of mountain gorillas and chimpanzees.

“By enhancing rural livelihoods, we reduce the stress and pressure on the limited protected areas in Uganda,” says Campbell, whose contributions to the project build upon previously-conducted work with graduate students in Tanzania, as well as partnerships with St. Joseph’s College in Darjeeling, India.

“Right now in Uganda, they have one of the fastest growing populations on the planet ... and it’s estimated their current population of 30 million will rise to 150 million by 2050. At that rate, there will be no forests left, and no mountain gorillas left, either.”

One of the project’s first hurdles – and one of the most significant achievements of the year 2008-09 – was having the degree program’s curriculum approved by Makerere University’s Senate and Board of Governors. With that approval process now out of the way, the project’s partners can begin providing students (as of June 2009, eight had enrolled) with the practical training required to make headway in this burgeoning field.

“It’s a very British system of education (in Uganda), in that there is very little practical application in their degrees – the net result being that when the graduates come out, most employers complain they don’t have a clue as to what they’re doing,” says Campbell.

“They have a great academic background, but they don’t know how to work, so we’re building in a practical component where they’re actually doing community development work related to tourism,

whether it’s tourism product development, assisting tourism operators in conducting research for the community, or assisting in writing grant proposals to generate other funds for conservation initiatives the community is developing.”

In addition to gaining approval for the Master’s degree curriculum, project partners also logged a number of other milestones over the past year, among them:

• Assisting community members in Ruhija, Uganda, to open their first tented camp for gorilla tourists. The area was fast-tracked by partners as a community practicum location in order to prevent a pending land-grab by competing developers. There are currently four fully functional tents, capable of accommodating eight gorilla tourists in total. The camp was at full capacity during its opening weekend, and has maintained a capacity of at least 50% ever since. “This is a community that literally had no potential for earning any foreign income before that,” Campbell explains. “But as a result of (the camp) there are now a number of downstream linkage projects. Food services are being provided, so small restaurants are opening up, and other community members are performing cultural demonstrations for people in the area.” In addition, community members are starting to offer birdwatching tours, capitalizing on the presence of up to 16 species of rare birds endemic to Uganda’s Albertine Rift (one of which, the Shelley’s Crimsonwing, was photographed in 2008 for the first time).

• In December 2008, project partner Dr. David Walker conducted a five-day GIS (Geographic Information System) workshop for representatives from a number of partner groups, among them the Uganda Wildlife Authority and Uganda’s Ministry of Tourism and Trade. Says Campbell: “It was really quite an eye-opener because a number of park wardens (from the Uganda Wildlife Authority) came from the field for training, and brought with them data they’d had for years, but had never done anything with. By the end of the week, they were able to do some analysis and they started to understand what was happening to wildlife populations and vegetation in the park. It was incredibly valuable, and every single person said they wanted to do a follow-up.”

• Partners identified the second community they plan to work with: Kyanyawara-Ibura, located on the border of Kibale National Park. As well, an agreement in principal was reached with Canadian non-profit group Friends of Banff, to have crafts made in Kyanyawara-Ibura sold in Friends of Banff’s flagship store in Alberta, alongside depictions of the community and its relationship to Kibale National Park, and an explanation of how proceeds from the craft sales will support efforts to conserve primates (particularly chimpanzees) within the Park. “Friends of Banff does tremendous business, so I would imagine the craft sales alone produced from this community would generate significant income,” says Campbell. “The longterm goal is that some of that money is retained in the Community Action Group – the community group they’ve developed for investments in other initiatives such as schools and waterworks – and that some goes back to the individual craft members.”

Sport without Borders: Mentoring International Leadership Excellence

In a world where progress tends to move at a snail’s pace, it’s nice to have an Olympic track and field star to help speed things along.

Just ask the FKRM researchers whose partnerships with sport, health and recreation experts in Kenya have earned the approval (and expertise) of Olympic gold medal winner William Tanui.

The Kenyan track phenom, who won the 800-metre event at the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona, is part of the team of sport and recreation advocates from Kenya who visited Winnipeg in June 2009 to explore Sport without Borders initiatives benefitting young athletes in both their country and in Canada.

The ongoing partnership finds U of M instructors, researchers and coaches aligning with their Kenyan colleagues – among them representatives from Kenyatta University, the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and the Terik Educational Promotional and Development Project (TEPAD) – to develop mentorship programs, fill educational gaps, and address social issues like poverty, HIV/AIDS and drug and alcohol addiction.

“It is the hope that we’re going to bring this community of people together, so that our youngsters have something to look forward to in the future,” said TEPAD representative Tanui (who as part of his week-long stay in Winnipeg spoke about his athletic career with students and coaches from the U of M).

“We have this hope that very soon, our youngsters will not just be staying idle, but that there will be something for them to do.”

Among the plans finalized over the summer is a project called CAN-YA YES (CAN-YA stands for Canada/Kenya; YES for Youth Engagement Through Sport), a program aimed at setting up athletic mentorships in Terik. Another seeks to address the educational gaps that result when Kenya’s young athletes miss school in order to train or compete, by establishing a sport academy with a curriculum tailored to meet their specific needs (while also affording training opportunities to elite athletes from

around the world.

“We’re looking at the idea of a sport academy,” says FKRM’s Dr. Jennifer Mactavish, a longtime sport and social justice advocate who’s taken a lead role in the project.

“Part of the operation would use a sport tourism model, where top athletes from other countries would come to pay to use the facilities. But it would also be a place where the most promising young runners (in Kenya) could come to run and train, and have a school curriculum designed to meet the demands of what they’re doing.”

The University’s partnership with the Kenyan contingent was first established a few years back, when FKRM students – together with Bison athletes and the U of M’s Children’s Camps – donated hundreds of soccer balls, T-shirts and shorts to young athletes in the Terik community. (Among those on the receiving end was future track star Pamela Jelimo, who’d go on to bring the Olympic connection full circle by winning a gold medal at Beijing in the summer of 2008.)

Prior to the arrival of the Kenyan contingent – whose numbers include Zipporak Bukania

(KEMRI), and Dr. Andanje Mwisukha and Peter Bukhala (Kenyatta University) – in Winnipeg, a number of U of M reps visited Kenya to lay the groundwork for the partnership.

“We are the places that train the future generations – both here and in Kenya,” says Dr. Mactavish.

“If you want to have Sport for Development as an entrenched part of the work that’s going on at the grassroots level, why not start with the people who’ll be working in those areas in the long term?”

Over the last year, Dr. Mactavish toured Kenya’s Nairobi region three times. On her last visit in April 2009, she was accompanied by Faculty colleagues Colleen Plumton (instructor and fieldwork coordinator), Claude Berube (Bison track and field head coach), Dr. Todd Duhamel (assistant professor and research affiliate), Janice Grift (director of FKRM Children’s Programs) and Winnipeg in motion specialist Jan Schmalenberg.

“I’ve done a lot of collaborative work internationally, and I have never seen 26 individuals get together from such diverse backgrounds – from rural communities in Kenya to folks in big city Nairobi to this collection of Canadians, many of whom had never experienced that before – pulling together with such teamwork,” says Dr. Mactavish. “People just set aside their agendas and focused on, ‘Where can we go with this?’”

Winnipeg in motion

In these days of sedentary lifestyles and ever-increasing waistlines, it’s troubling to realize many Manitobans aren’t familiar with the guidelines laid out by Canada’s Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living (CPAG).

But those same guidelines may be setting the collective health benchmark too low – creating a false sense of security for those who do adhere to them – according to the findings of a team of researchers from the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute.

In a 2008 article by Dr. Elizabeth Ready and her colleagues – prepared in conjunction with the province-wide in motion initiative on public health – it’s suggested the CPAG’s recommended activity levels are too low, since they include both specific leisure-time activities (jogging, biking or aerobics) and any activities carried out over the course of a normal day (walking, household chores, yard work, etc).

Since prior national surveys on physical activity have focused exclusively on leisure activities, there was a significant disconnect between the national stats (which found 49% of Canadians met recommended CPAG levels) and the in motion team’s own survey of Manitobans, which found a whopping 69.5% made the CPAG grade.

“We were surprised to find quite a lot of Manitobans seemed to be meeting the CPAG recommendations,” says Dr. Ready.

“But Manitoba still has increasing diabetes rates and obesity rates, so it seems to be a

contradiction – a suggestion that maybe the activity levels aren’t high enough.”

In conducting the Manitoba survey (a random sampling of 6,536 adults), in motion researchers analyzed both leisure and non-leisure activities, since the CPAG recommends incorporating physical activity into all aspects of daily life.

And where most national surveys measure against a global threshold of activity based on energy expenditure, the in motion team categorized respondents’ activity by duration and intensity (light, moderate or vigorous) – a system much more closely in line with the CPAG’s current recommendations.

Given the aforementioned disconnect, researchers are now recommending a revamp of those CPAG guidelines, so they instead focus on physical activities that fall outside of our daily routines.

“If there are this many people meeting the (CPAG) guidelines – yet there are still this many people who have diabetes and heart disease and are overweight – our suggestion is maybe re-looking at the guidelines to see if they’re appropriate,” says Dr. Ready.

“That’s what they’ve done in the States. They’ve said you need 30 minutes of moderate activity daily, above and beyond routine activities like walking to the fridge or brushing your teeth.”

Dr. Ready’s findings coincide with recent changes to the CPAG’s equivalent in the U.S., and they also jibe with an ongoing CPAG re-evaluation that’s already underway here in Canada. If and when the CPAG guidelines are updated, Ready hopes increased efforts are made to bring them to the public’s attention.

First introduced in 2005, Winnipeg in motion is a partnership between the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, the University of Manitoba (led by the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management) and the City of Winnipeg, with additional support from the province’s Department of Healthy Living.

The province-wide in motion campaign is a multi-faceted strategy that encourages Manitobans to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. The goal of the initiative is to bring about a 10% increase in Manitobans’ physical activity rates by 2010, and a 20% increase by 2015.

The role of the University (through the HLHPRI) has been to provide leadership in research and evaluation for Winnipeg in motion strategies and community initiatives, and to provide leadership in knowledge transfer. Currently, five research affiliates/associates of the HLHPRI are involved in the partnership. In 2005, this group led an in motion research committee in a baseline survey of physical activity in the province.
