Staff Profile

My research focuses the acute, intregrative responses to exercise, with a particular focus on neuromuscular fatigability. Neuromuscular fatigability, which describes acute exercise-induced impairments in neuromuscular function, is the manifestation of biochemical changes occuring within the muscle, which in turn are influenced by muscle metabolic factors and oxygen transport. As such, I am interested in understanding the integrative mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigability in a wide spectrum of populations, from athletes to patients.
