Annual Report
Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute
(A Type I Institute)
1999 - 2000
Submitted by:
Michael J. Mahon, Ph.D., Associate Dean (Research and Graduate Program)
and Director
The arrival of the new millennium is now comfortably behind us and it is with pleasure that I
report on the many accomplishments of our wonderful Faculty and Staff. The achievements of
our dedicated people are both numerous and impressive, clearly demonstrating that it is the
quality of these individuals that continues to create the success of the Health, Leisure and Human
Performance Research Institute.
One of the most significant events of 1999-2000 was a full review of the activities of the Health,
Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute from 1992-1999. The Senate Policy on
Centres and Institutes mandates reviews after every five years. Our review was initiated with a
strategic planning session last August, which took place during our annual retreat and golf day
led by Ms. Karen Kristjanson of the University's Human Resource Department. After reaffirming the broad vision, goals, and activities of the Institute, several key areas for growth were
identified. The strategic planning session served as a springboard to a three month self study
which culminated in a report entitled: Building Capacity Through Collaboration: A Review of
the Health, Leisure, and Human Performance Research Institute – 1992 to 1999. This report
was submitted to the Senate Sub-Committee on Research, and following this, the Institute
underwent an external examination. We are happy to report that Senate recommended that the
Institute be constituted for a new five-year term, a recommendation that was accepted by the
Board of Governors at their June meeting.
As is evident from the various sections contained in this report, the work of researchers in the
Institute continues to enhance the breadth and diversity of research in health, leisure and human
performance in the Province of Manitoba. This past year we participated in three proposals to
the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and four to the Canadian Institutes for Health Research.
While still awaiting the outcome of several of the proposals, we are very pleased to report that
Dr. Michelle Porter was successful in securing $400,000 from the Canadian Foundation for
Innovation, the Province of Manitoba, the Manitoba Health Research Council and the University
of Manitoba. The funding was awarded to develop the Neuromuscular Performance and Aging
Laboratory, the main focus of which is the investigation of neuromuscular adaptations associated
with aging and training.
PERSONNEL
In the summer and fall of 1999, we were very pleased to welcome Dr. Joannie Halas and Dr.
Greg Gannon to the Institute as Research Affiliates. Dr. Halas is a member of the Faculty of
Physical Education and Recreation Studies with expertise in pedagogy and youth at risk and Dr.
Gannon has assumed a joint appointment between the Faculty and the National Sport Centre
Manitoba. We appreciate the enthusiasm and energy each has brought to their chosen areas of
1

study. The addition of Drs. Halas and Gannon brings the total number of researchers working in
the Institute to twenty-nine. We also employed a substantial number of graduate and
undergraduate students in the Institute this year. In total 49 students, mostly from the Faculty of
Physical Education and Recreation Studies, but also from Sociology, Psychology, Engineering
and Medicine, received support. In all, $163,904 was paid to our students for their valuable
contribution to the research being conducted within the Institute.
ADVISORY BOARD
The Research Institute formed an Advisory Board to serve as a liaison to the external community
through the corporate, government, not-for-profit and academic sectors. The role of the Board,
which meets twice a year, is to encourage the research activities of the Institute through their
respective work. The following is a list of the members of the Inaugural Advisory Board. Their
appointments will continue until July 2001.

RESEARCH GRANTS
The 1999-2000 academic year showed a significant increase in grants held by our Research
Affiliates and Associates. Sixty-three grants, which represent new and on-going funding,
produced a 40% increase over last year and resulted in total funding of $3,449,348. Sources for
these grants include the national research granting agencies: Medical Research Council; Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council; Social Science and Humanities Research Council;
and National Health Research and Development Program, as well as Canada Foundation for
Innovation. Other key foundations and more targeted research granting bodies make up the
balance of funding within the Institute.
VISITING SCHOLAR and SYMPOSIUM SPONSORSHIP
Visiting Scholar:
The Research Institute sponsored one Visiting Scholar this year, Dr. Jan Lexell of Lund, Sweden.
Dr. Lexell is an Associate Professor of Experimental Neurology in the Department of Clinical
Neuroscience at Lund University, and also serves as Director of the Neuromuscular Research
Laboratory in the Department of Rehabilitation at Lund University Hospital in Sweden.
In addition to collaborating on research with Dr. Michelle Porter, Dr. Lexell gave two research
presentations during the course of his visit. The first was within the Faculty as part of the
Research Seminar Series; and the second was an event co-sponsored with the Winnipeg Chapter,
Society for Neuroscience, as part of Brain Awareness Month.
Symposium Sponsorship:
This year in lieu of a second visiting scholar, the Health, Leisure and Human Performance
Research Institute collaborated with one of its partners, Parks Canada, and with the Canada
Chapter of Travel and Tourism Research Association, to co-sponsor a symposium. Maximize
Your Investment in Market Research was held November 19, 1999 at the Winnipeg Convention
Centre and one hundred and eight participants registered for the one-day event. An evaluation of
the symposium administered by Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation students, reported
the participants’ overall satisfaction with the symposium as very good. Of particular note was
the luncheon keynote speaker, Michael Adams, President of Environics Research and author of
Sex in the Snow.
SEMINAR SERIES
Once again the Institute co-sponsored a research seminar series with the faculty's graduate
program. This year, graduate students from the Research and Quantitative Methods class
participated as presenters in the series. Over two afternoons, ten students gave oral presentations
and eight students made poster presentations related to their proposed area of thesis research. A
schedule of all research presented in the series follows:

SMALL GRANT RECIPIENTS
The 1999-2000 HLHP Research Institute Small Grants competition resulted in five grants being
awarded to researchers both within the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation Studies and
in other faculties or departments at the University of Manitoba. All grants were peer reviewed
by at least two reviewers, one external to the Institute.
Drs. Marion Alexander and Janice Butcher, Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation
Studies and Dr. Peter MacDonald, Faculty of Medicine - The effects of an exercise program on
balance ability of persons with arthritis. $3750.
Dr. Sheryle Dixon, Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation Studies - To Dope or Not to
Dope?: What Athletes and Philosophers Have to Say About Performance-Enhancing Substrates.
$3750.
Dr. Warren Eaton, Department of Psychology - Motor Activity and Aging in University of
Manitoba Alumni. $4000.
Dr. Greg Gannon, Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation Studies/National Sports Centre
and Dr. Dean Kriellaars, Faculty of Medicine - The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) for
assessment of human movement in an outdoor environment. $2500.
Dr. Joannie Halas, Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation Studies - The experience of
physical education/activity for Aboriginal youth: An interpretive case study. $2250.
COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
There is a strong mandate expressed in the Research Institute mission to disseminate results of
the research conducted at the Institute. To assist with these communication activities, a new
digital video camera and a portable LCD projector were recently purchased. The purchase of the
projector through a "Smarter Kids Foundation" grant, was at approximately 50% of retail cost.
These purchases have benefited both research affiliates and graduate students by allowing them
easy access to 'state of the art' equipment to enhance presentation of their research in all possible
venues. This year alone, researchers in the Institute have made approximately 100 refereed,
professional, and community presentations. The Institute Research Seminar Series has also been
a very successful avenue for dissemination of the most current research being conducted by our
researchers. The research affiliates also have a strong record of refereed articles and technical
report publications. The resource office within the Institute houses copies of both and they are
available to order upon request. A newsletter recounting activities within the Institute was
published once this year.
ENDOWMENT INCOME AND UNIVERSITY SUPPORT
The Institute has an endowment fund of approximately 1.500 million dollars. The fund is
managed by the University and a portion of the annual revenues from the investment are used for
operating costs. The remaining funds are reinvested by the University to ensure some continued
6
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Health, Leisure & Human Performance Research Institute
growth in the fund. Beyond these funds, the Institute Director and one Research Affiliate
position are funded from University baseline dollars. All other positions within the Institute,
with the exception of Research Affiliate positions connected to various Academic units, are
funded from research grants and contracts.
FINANCIAL STABILITY
The Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute is reasonably stable financially
so long as endowment income does not drop dramatically and we have good external grant
support. However, a major deficiency with the HLHP Research Institute is the lack of baseline
funding to assist in its operation and to ensure that the efforts of faculty members are used
optimally. The provision of baseline funds for the positions of secretary and Assistant to the
Director would enhance our effectiveness and our efficiency. With the growth of the Institute
comes the requirement of core support services to sustain commitments from our community
partners, retain our upstanding young faculty members, and demonstrate the level of research
productivity expected.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
At a planning session held in 1999, members of the Research Institute envisioned the future of
the Institute. The future was seen to include a larger endowment fund, which will support
enhanced research capacity including greater technical support for laboratories, and increased
funding for graduate research and teaching assistants. The Institute will also demonstrate an
ongoing commitment to external partnerships, interdisciplinary research and the broad
dissemination of research findings.
