Current Research Interests: Stephen is studying the relationships of physical activity and aging with muscle size and physical function measures (such as ability to climb stairs).
Previous Research Projects: As an undergraduate with the Muscle Physiology lab, Stephen studied the effects of changing stimulation parameters during stimulation of the human quadriceps on the sensitivity of central activation ratio measurement. He also observed the effect of stimulation intensity on subject discomfort.
