Exercise Physiology
My research interests have focused on the effects of
aerobic and anaerobic exercise on respiratory,
cardiovascular, and metabolic functions of human
subjects ranging from sedentary individuals to
Olympic athletes. In addition to providing more
pertinent information concerning the upper limits of
human performance, specific data obtained from
Olympic caliber oarsmen and oarswomen since 1966
have contributed to the development of a
physiological profile for an elite rowing
competitor. Based on specific metabolic
measurements, an energy expenditure analysis of the
sport of rowing has been completed. Other studies
have focused on evaluation of physiological function
of other elite amateur and professional athletes.
Recent research funded by NASA has been completed
describing physiological responses of human subjects
to high intensity exercise training during cycle and
rowing ergometry. Changes in metabolism, blood
chemistry, muscle histochemistry and morphology were
used to evaluate exercise specifically as a counter
measure to deleterious effects of microgravity.
Collaboration with Drs. Gilders, Hikida, Staron and
graduate students has resulted in several studies
which investigated the effects of high intensity
resistance training exercises on the histochemical
properties and morphology of human skeletal muscle
with a special reference to gender differences and
the aging population. |
