Our Mission
Our laboratory investigates the physiological mechanisms that underlie neuromuscular fatigue, skeletal muscle function, and human performance across diverse populations. We study both healthy individuals and clinical groups, including older adults and people with metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Our research focuses on three interconnected themes:
- Neuromuscular fatigue and muscle function.
- Determining how aging, metabolic disease, and clinical conditions alter skeletal muscle fatigue and exercise responses.
- Sex Differences in performance and fatigue.
- Identifying sex-specific mechanisms that influence muscle fatigue, exercise performance, and physiological limitations to movement.
- Exercise as a therapeutic intervention.
- Evaluating the protective and restorative effects of exercise training in enhancing neuromuscular function, improving metabolic health, and promoting overall well-being.
Using advanced experimental methods and analytical techniques, we aim to generate evidence that informs clinical rehabilitation, guides exercise prescription, enhances athletic performance, and ultimately improves quality of life.
