Research Summary
My research has been focused on neuromuscular function, metabolic cost, and fatigue. Applications for my research range from basic aspects of neuromuscular function to human performance in a variety of settings including sport, disease, rehabilitation, and aging. Recently, I have branched into the treatment and prevention of metabolic disorders with two lines of research: single leg cycling exercise and prolonged low intensity exercise in workplace and classroom settings.
