The focus of research in the Muscle Physiology Lab is related to quantifying age, gender, and activity based changes in human skeletal muscle function. We use a combination of non-invasive techniques to measure the roles of neural activation, intramuscular metabolism, contractile function, and blood flow in the development of muscle fatigue in a variety of populations. The primary source of funding for our work is the National Institutes of Health (NIA).

This site is designed to provide more information to current and prospective students, research participants, and anyone who just wants so know more about what we do.
