Research
Dr Jack Cannon's research examines the relationship between changes in performance and neuromuscular function in a variety of contexts. Specially, his research investigates changes in maximal strength performance, neuromuscular drive, and contractile function associated with;
- Ageing;
- Resistance training; and
- Fatigue.
