Education
BS University of Northern Iowa 1989 Science (Chemistry minor)
MS University of Colorado 1991 Exercise Science
PhD Ball State University 1994 Human Bioenergetics
Post-Doc Ball State University/Marquette University 1997 Muscle Physiology
Research Interests
Human skeletal muscle contractile function and structure with a focus on cellular physiology and biology. Main areas of emphasis: 1) adaptation of skeletal muscle to a reduction in physical activity and exercise countermeasures during periods of disuse (aging and spaceflight), and 2) skeletal muscle adaptation to periods of overtraining and taper (reduced training/rest) as it relates to sports performance.
