Research
My current research focuses on human biomechanics, including measurements of muscle
stiffness for injury prevention and movement economy.
I am actively involved in validity and reliability testing of affordable, lab- and field-based sensors, including for
environmental, biomechanical and physiological testing.
I am also interested in nutrition and physiology research, particularly in relation to athletic and clinical populations.
Projects
Comparisons of perceived and objectively measured hamstring stiffness
Interventions to reduce active components of hamstring stiffness
Impact of warm-up techniques on hip muscle power
Validity and reliability of low-cost, Arduino-based EMG system
Validity and reliability of low-cost, Arduino-based force transducer
Validity and reliability of low-cost, Raspberry-Pi-based environmental sensors
Development of tools to measure breathing rate in active diabetic population
Nutritional approaches to ultra-endurance exercise in the extreme cold
Frostbite and other health challenges of prolonged exercise in the extreme cold
stiffness for injury prevention and movement economy.
