This laboratory provides an array of technologies to enhance our understanding of the relationship between body composition (body fat, bone density, lean tissue) and various measures of performance, health, and training.  We also develop and evaluate various protocols for measuring localized and total body composition.

We seek new knowledge and understanding of factors affecting the human expression and development of muscle-mechanical strength, power, work, and related variables.  One of our goals is to apply this knowledge to health-related fitness, elite performance, or to task-specific performance. We also endeavor to develop and evaluate various protocols for measuring muscle-mechanical performance.
