RESEARCH PROJECTS
Pilot Studies
(1) Comparison of different methods of determining muscle architecture variables with ultrasonography images.
(2) Reliability of extended field of view quadriceps muscle ultrasonography in young adults.
(3) Acute effects of different blood flow occlusion levels on blood flow and muscle oxygenation measured at rest using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
(4) Reliability of endothelial function measured with flow mediated dilation in young adults.
