Exercise Rehabilitation Efficacy and Optimal Exercise Training Prescriptions for Improved Health Outcomes in People with Type 2 Diabetes
This dissertation examines the impact of exercise rehabilitation and the components of exercise prescriptions on optimizing health outcomes for people with diabetes (DM). Exercise is an accepted part of the diabetes management regime to help prevent or slow the progression of the disease. A …

Pricing of Swing Options: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach
… pricing swing options, a class of multiple early exercise options that are traded in energy market, particularly in the electricity and natural gas markets. These contracts permit the option holder to periodically exercise the right to trade a variable amount of energy with a counterparty, subject …

Quantifying training load and its relationship to heart rate recovery
… important role in the development of optimal exercise training programmes that meet specific goals within specified times. Improving the accuracy of training prescription first involves quantifying what the athlete is currently doing. Secondly, it needs to be established whether or not …

The acute effects of varying intensities of treadmill walking exercise on cognition in persons with multiple sclerosis
Background: Exercise training represents a promising approach for managing cognitive impairment in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). There is preliminary evidence that treadmill walking exercise might be the modality of exercise that exerts the greatest beneficial effects on executive control …

Numerical singular perturbation approaches based on spline approximation methods for solving problems in computational finance
… two categories: European options which can be exercised only on the expiration date, and American options which can be exercised on or before the expiration date. American options are much harder to deal with than European ones. The reason being the optimal exercise policy of these options …

A Review of Multilevel Monte Carlo Methods
… Squares Monte Carlo method (LSM) estimates an optimal exercise strategy at finitely many instances, and consequently a lower bound price for the option. The dual method finds an optimal martingale, and consequently an upper bound for the price. Although the pricing results are quite close to …

High-intensity aerobic and resistance training for metabolic syndrome
… MetS. The literature review (Chapter 2) examined exercise for adults with MetS. It showed that HIIT may be a time-efficient alternative to current guidelines with no apparent additional risk of adverse events. The systematic review and meta-analysis (Chapter 3) examined the optimal exercise …

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: An Investigation of Non-Pharmacologic Management Strategies and Cardiometabolic Consequences
Background: Preliminary evidence suggests exercise training may result in improved reproductive, anthropometric, cardiometabolic and psychosocial health in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Objective: To evaluate the effects of exercise training on reproductive, anthropometric, …

Optimal Bond Refunding: Evidence From the Municipal Bond Market
… when the option is in-the-money. Usually it is optimal for the holder of an in-the money American option to wait rather than exercise immediately, because the option has time value. It is rational for the holder to exercise the option when the total value of the option is no more than the …

HIITing the Brain with Exercise; the Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on Cerebrovascular and Cognitive Function
… since emerged as a more time-efficient mode of exercise that can promote similar, if not superior improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and further promote vascular adaptation. However, randomised controlled trials investigating the impact of HIIT on the brain, specifically …
