1. New paper with Dan Howells reporting HRV & subjective responses to long-haul travel and the Olympic Games in rugby 7s medalists. Findings summarized in thread below. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/… Int'l Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance Human Kinetics

Incredibly proud of the dedication and perseverance of these young scientists who did a fantastic job representing GeorgiaSouthern and the Waters College of Health Professions at Experimental Biology today! #expbio2022 👏👏👏

3wk left in the semester means it’s crunch time for thesis projects. Massive thanks to our wonderful colleagues Carol Jordan and Anna Bryan in Medical Laboratory Sciences for helping with this Vitamin D assay for our racial disparities study! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork Waters College of Health Professions

Master of Science has a nice ring to it! Thankful to Greg Grosicki and the Biodynamics & Human Performance Center for the many opportunities over the last few years! Looking forward my new chapter down in Tallahassee as I pursue my PhD at @floridastate and conduct research at the FSU ISSM

GeorgiaSouthern students Joe Vondrasek and Wesley Blumenburg, MS did an excellent job presenting our work at #ACSM22 #ACSM2022 today! American College of Sports Medicine

Congrats to Waters College of Health Professions grad student, Joe Vondrasek, for being awarded a NSCA grant for his MS thesis! We’ll be investigating a potential strategy for supporting cardiovascular health in lifters, which is often an afterthought among the big/strong folk. With Greg Grosicki Austin Robinson.

Excellent presentation on continuous vs intermittent blood flow restricted exercise by incoming Biodynamics & Human Performance Center student James Brown, M.S. this afternoon! #ACSM22 #ACSM2022

Faculty and students representing GeorgiaSouthern and the Waters College of Health Professions at the NSCA annual conference!

Great time at #NSCACon22. First one for these future scientists/practitioners. Already looking forward to next year. Waters College of Health Professions Georgia Southern COGS Biodynamics & Human Performance Center

New from our lab: Higher/more stable daily HRV was generally associated with superior cardiovascular (↓blood pressure & aortic stiffness), metabolic (↓body fat, glucose, & LDL) & psychoemotional (↓perceived stress) health in young adults. Full text: rdcu.be/cUd9T

Primary paper from my first large/funded study as PI! Take home: Higher and more stable HRV is associated with superior health and lifestyle markers in young males and females. Full text: rdcu.be/cUd9T

Latest from the GeorgiaSouthern Biodynamics & Human Performance Center Massive collaborative effort by faculty and students! 👏👏👏 Full text here: rdcu.be/cUd9T

Having an absolute blast at the 2022 IWF World Masters Championships interacting with and collecting data on an elite group of REALLY strong older adults 💪 GeorgiaSouthern Waters College of Health Professions #IWF #weightlifting #mastersweightlifting

Exceptionally proud of this one in #RedoxBiology: “Acute beetroot juice reduces blood pressure in young Black and White males but not females”   sciencedirect.com/science/articl…   My first 🧵 👇

Proud of the work done by Joe Vondrasek & Elena today! Papers forthcoming. Teaser: Slow paced breathing affects agreement b/w app & ECG. Caution needed. Status markers have varying timeframes of recovery & are non-interchangeable. Tests need to be specific.
