Dr. Sacco was a Visiting Scholar in the Muscle Physiology from March - June, 2001. The purpose of Dr. Sacco's visit was to gain experience in studies of fatigue using the ankle dorsiflexor model, and to lend his expertise in the area of muscle fatigue, particularly as it relates to central motor drive. An ongoing collaboration has been established, the focus of which is the unidirectional exchange of red wines from the Margaret River region of southwest Australia.
