Thèmes de recherche
I am interested in exercise and neuromuscular physiology. My overarching research interests involve identifying and underpinning the interrelation between skeletal muscle function/fatigability and its effect on exercise tolerance due to a specific performance task or intervention under different conditions. A better understanding of the mechanisms of fatigue development during exercise can then allow for improved athletic performance and outcomes for patients.
My current research is focused on the impact of blood flow restriction exercise on muscle fatigability. In this regard, we are investigating novel training interventions and training supplements which may lead to acute or prolonged physiological adaptations and improvements in physical performance. Our main interests surround the effects of neuromuscular (e.g. biochemical changes, neural excitation) and cardiovascular (e.g. vessel function) determinants.
