Our recent publication on cold-water immersion has been featured in The Washington Post!

It’s great to see our work reaching a broader audience!

Our latest study on muscle adaptation to high- and low-load resistance exercise training.

It is fascinating to me that the muscle adapts in nearly the exact same manner despite being subjected to widely different stimuli (20-25 vs 3-5 reps)

Comparable Strength and Hypertrophic Adaptations to Low-Load and High-Load Resistance Exercise Training in Trained Individuals: Many Roads Lead to Rome
The muscular and myocellular adaptations to low-load resistance exercise training (LL-RET) remain incompletely understood, particularly in the trained state. The primary aim of this study was to exami...

The main study of my PhD is now online!

We investigated whether 8 weeks of aerobic exercise ‘preconditioning’ (to improve muscle fiber capillarization) augments muscle hypertrophy during subsequent resistance exercise training in older adults.

Our latest work is now online!

As part of my PhD work, we investigated whether post-exercise cooling affects muscle microvascular perfusion and amino acid incorporation into muscle tissue.
