Current Projects - Exercise Performance and Recovery Lab
In our laboratory, we are currently:
Examining physical performance and recovery, as well as inflammatory markers following prolonged aerobic exercise with and without environmental stress.
These projects are being conducted in collaboration with the Environmental Physiology Lab and Dr. Glickman. While the inflammatory response to exercise in the heat may be exacerbated, these projects aim to further define this exacerbation as well as identify potential nutritional interventions to limit the overall inflammatory response to exercise while under environmental stress.
Examining the effects of various ergogenic aids on resistance exercise performance and recovery.
These projects are examining the impact of various ergogenic aids on the muscle damaging effects of resistance exercise. Specifically, we aim to examine the role of knee wraps, and pre-workout supplements on the total volume of resistance exercise and the post-exercise muscle damaging effects.
