Applied Sport Physiology
My profile
Biography
My research focuses on exercise-induced fatigue and pain, neuromuscular performance, and the muscle nerve afferent feedback in healthy and clinical populations. In our lab we investigate how physiological and perceptual responses integrate to regulate exercise tolerance in humans, aiming to untangle the neuronal and neuromuscular components of fatigue and pain in chronic conditions.
