Research
My research interests primarily include examining age-related changes in neuromuscular function, the effect of resistance training on neuromuscular performance in young and older adults, and neuromuscular manifestations of accompanying fatigue during various exercise modalities. My more recent research interests explore the effect of nutritional supplementation on neuromuscular adaption to resistance training and the identification of neuromuscular evidence for self-pacing during prolonged exercise.
