Current Studies
Mechanisms of Skeletal Muscle Fatigue in Older Adults
Researcher: Stephen Foulis, Jacob DeBlois, and Anita Christie
Status: In Progress & Recruiting
Stephen, Jacob, and Anita are investigaing how the energetic and neural factors may contribute to muscle fatigue. By combining state-of-the-art techniques, including NMR spectroscopy and indwelling needle electromyography, they hope to better understand the mechanisms that lead to that lead to fatigue resistance in older adults. This study is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
