Congratulations to Prof @Myles_OBrien20 on receiving a CLSA Catalyst grant from the @CIHR_IRSC for investigating the relationship between frailty, sarcopenia, and osteoarthritis in older adults. @Belanger_M @CarsonHalliwell @olga_theou @MoyerLab
Dear partners and colleagues, the team is pleased to share with you a review of the activities and events that marked 2024 at the IMPACTS Laboratory! video: impactslab.com/
IMPACTSLab joins international researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers at the 10th @ISPAH Congress in Paris. Much interest from the scientific community during Prs Mekari's and Bélanger presentations. A unique opportunity to share knowledge and meet interesting people.
ALT Prof Mathieu Bélanger "Adolescent physical activity profiles as determinants of emerging adults’ physical activity"
ALT Prof Saïd Mekari "Improvements in Aerobic Function Moderate Faster Executive Function After Exercise Training in Older Adults"
ALT Pierre Philippe Wilson Registe, Saïd Mekari, Mathieu Bélanger, Shirko Ahmadi
ALT Thanks to the funders of Prof Mekari's research project: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and ResearchNB
Congratulations to @Myles_OBrien20,@SMekary, @ShirkoAhmadiPhD and @MShivgulam of IMPACTS Lab and their colleagues @Leo_Riesco and Renaud Tremblay for obtaining a research grant from @NBHRF. For more info on this study: [email protected]
The answer is YES! Physical activity was associated with lower levels of frailty, even in people with poor lifestyle behaviours, more so in older adults, where the association was strongest. 👉 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
A new IMPACTS publication from @ShirkoAhmadiPhD and @SMekary of the Centre de formation médicale du Nouveau-Brunswick shows that aerobic exercise, which typically increases cardiorespiratory fitness, improves executive functioning in older adults, irrespective of sex.
Dr @ShirkoAhmadiPhD, a research professional with the IMPACTS lab, attended the annual congress of the @E_C_S_S in Glasgow, Scotland. Dr Ahmadi presented the results of a study led by Prof @SMekary, which took place right here in New Brunswick.
Publication from Prof @Myles_OBrien20 from the CFMNB and his partners from @DalhousieU. The Frailty Index developed by this team enables the study of aging, as well as the clinical, functional, and structural aspects of osteoarthritis.
This 33rd publication from the MATCH Study by Dr. Jean-François Clément reveals that more team #sports participation during #adolescence is associated with better #mentalhealth during emerging adulthood. @Belanger_M @Gallant_F_ @teodorariglea @CorentinMontiel @SSHRC_CRSH

Dr. @Myles_OBrien20 (@ImpactsLab - CFMNB) and Dr. Judith Godin (@DalhousieU ) just published "Sex Differences and Frailty" link.springer.com/chapter/10… in "Frailty: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Assessment, Management, and Prevention" edited by Dr. Jorge Ruiz and Dr. @olga_theou
Way to go Daniel Saucier and Pamela Tanguay for receiving the Dean's Honorary Mention from the @USherbrooke's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Both are co-directed by Prof @Belanger_M. Daniel is also co-directed by Prof Colleen O'Connell and Pamela by Prof Nicole Marquis.
Professor Myles O'Brien from ImpactsLab and his students attended the #ACSM24 annual meeting. @Myles_OBrien20 was asking alongside Dr. Jonathon Fowles and Dr. @TaniyaNagpal11 "Who and Where Do I Send My Patients to be Physically Active? ” Thanks for this great event!
IMPACTS Lab members are highly productive these days! Here is a brand new publication by Professors @Myles_OBrien20, @SMekary, and colleagues in @FrontiersIn Sports and Active Living on the effects of moderate physical activity on executive function in older adults.
We are pleased to see the work of Dr. Mekari and the members of IMPACTS Lab on chronic disease put forward by ResearchNB. Research with the potential to have a significant impact on the health of our communities.

This new publication from Dr. @Myles_OBrien20 and Dr. @olga_theou in AJP-Heart & Circulatory Physiology (@ajpheartcirc) examines how physical activity mediates the relationship between frailty and hypertension among males and females.
