Background

University of Guelph, Ontario B.Sc. 1970; University of British Columbia, Vancouver M.P.E. 1972; Ohio State University, Columbus Ph.D. 1975; University of British Columbia, Vancouver M.D. 1977

Specialization

Exercise Science – Sports Medicine, exercise physiology, chronic illness

Research

Dr. McKenzie's research program is divided between respiratory exercise physiology in healthy, well-trained athletes under normoxic and hypoxic conditions and clinical research in patients with chronic diseases. Our lab continues to study the mechanisms responsible for the development of hypoxemia during exercise and with exposure to altitude. We also evaluate and attempt to influence functional outcomes in pediatric and adult patients with cancer, following organ transplantation, and with lung and muscle diseases.

Current Projects:

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: (with D. Macintyre, D. Reid) (Syntex Inc.)
Pulmonary Diffusion During Maximal Exercise (BC Lung Association)
Functional Appraisal of Children and Adolescents with a History of Cancer: (with G. Sandor, C. Fryer) (Woodward Foundation)
