Current Research Interests: Damien is investigating the effect of age and contraction type on fatigue in the knee extensor muscles
Previous Research Projects: Damien has examined the effects of varying stimulation intensity on contractile function and fatigue. While working at the Human Physiology laboratory at Boston University, Damien was involved in several studies that examined the effect of strength and power training interventions on the functional capacity of older, frail individuals.
