🚨Calling all ATs (+ PT, S/C, ExPhys), we want to know your perceptions of strength-training intervention for individuals with #LBP. Please share your thoughts using the link below…and share among your networks 🙏 🔗 ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e9…

Very excited to share acceptance of a brief review highlighting methods for assessing skeletal muscle health in vivo. The best part was bringing together 8 PIs from UCF Institute of Ex Phys & Rehab Science. Our collaboration across labs + disciplines UCF is unique. Great work by Jonathan Beausejour in leading us!

The 2023-2024 Starting Roster ⭐️🏆

Our team was presented w/ a unique opportunity to test a competitive powerlifter following unilateral transtibial amputation. Our novel work highlights an incredible story of physiological adaptation + resilience following tragedy. Kudos to Jonathan Beausejour journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/abst…

CHPS is seeking participants for a new research study! This research study is looking at a commercially available hydration drink designed for preventing or treating dehydration. To find out more, visit our research studies website at chps.ucf.edu/research/studi….

Our lab’s 1st attempt at a preprint, led by Jonathan Beausejour We welcome feedback, especially if you conduct TMS research during active contractions. 🧠UCF CNS Lab

Andrew Skibski, Kinesiology PhD student, received the ACSM Biomechanics Interest Group (BIG) Dissertation Award at the 2024 ACSM Annual Meeting in Boston this week! Congratulations Andrew on this prestigious award!

Shoutout to Jonathan Beausejour for earning the UCF Anatomical Sciences Graduate Certificate. This rigorous program prepares students to independently direct a cadaver anatomy lab, from full dissection to admin. He is the 1st UCF Kinesiology PhD student to complete this program 🐐

A new study by our PhD student Andrew Skibski: Ultrasound biofeedback significantly improves core muscle activation in golfers with low back pain during abdominal exercises and golf swings. Could this technique help prevent injuries on the course? #GolfFitness #SportsScience

Excited to share our latest attempt to understand methodological considerations of TMS. We explored if active motor thresholds should be reported with relative vs. absolute thresholds. Please share w/ those conducting #tmsresearch -Great job Jonathan Beausejour sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks for the support and collaboration Jason DeFreitas Meredith Chaput, PhD, DPT, SCS Grant Norte 🥇

Effects of training status on atrophy-hypertrophy outcomes with leg immobilization & recovery resistance training. Awesome pre-print led by Max Michel and help from Joshua Godwin Daniel Plotkin and others with collab from Matt Stock, PhD & Marcas Bamman, PhD biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to announce that I successfully proposed my dissertation project entitled “Motor Unit Control of Maximal Grip Force Among Older Adults”. Special thanks to my advisory committee and the 🐐 mentor Matt Stock, PhD. We look forward to working on this important topic!

Had a blast presenting this in Nagoya and getting to know the ISEK community earlier this summer! 😊

🚨The UCF CNS Lab is now recruiting older adults in Orlando for a 6 week training study. This is a great opportunity to get high-quality, supervised training in our lab. Please spread the word!

We've come a long way, but there remains a clear need for practical (yet valid) assessments of muscle inhibition at the point-of-care. Here's an interesting perspective for those interested in #AMI. 🔗doi.org/10.1177/036354… Dave Sherman, PhD, PT, ATC Justin Rush, PhD, ATC Christopher D. Ingersoll @ckuenze

Leg immobilization and recovery resistance training affect skeletal muscle angiogenesis regardless of prior training experience. Follow-up analysis by Mason McIntosh to our disuse study. Help from Max Michel, Joshua Godwin, @danielplotkin_, and others. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
