Jane Yardley

Jane Yardley is a Professor at the Université de Montréal, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and the School of Kinesiology and Physical Activity Sciences. Her email is jane.yardley@umontreal.ca, and she holds a secondary number at work. She teaches courses like KIN-1047 (Physiological Foundations of Physical Activity) in the Baccalauréat en enseignement de l'éducation physique et à la santé program.

Her research focuses on diabetes management during physical activity, particularly in females, exploring topics like glycemic control during exercise, menstrual cycle impacts, and automated insulin delivery systems. Key themes include sex-specific precision medicine, barriers to physical activity in diabetic populations, and strategies to mitigate hyperglycemia-related anxiety in athletes.

Her work spans clinical trials (e.g., READI trial), observational studies, and qualitative analyses examining patient experiences. She collaborates on strategic research initiatives at Université de Montréal, contributing to evidence-based guidelines for diabetes care in active individuals.

Advising and grants: While specific grants are not listed, her involvement in initiatives like the BETTER registry and participation in collaborative studies suggest active grant-funded research. She advises on clinical trial design and patient-centered research priorities as reflected in her scoping reviews and priority-setting projects.

Labs/teams: Affiliated with research centers within the School of Kinesiology, focusing on translational studies linking exercise physiology to diabetes management. Collaborates with endocrinology and sports medicine teams for comprehensive patient care approaches.
