Effects of Estrogen levels on Motor Unit Firing Patterns and Autonomic Nervous System Function during Sustained Submaximal Fatiguing Contractions.
We are investigating the responses of single motor units and heart rate during submaximal fatiguing contractions across the phases of the menstrual cycle.

We are currently recruiting young healthy female adults who are not on birth control contraceptives for participation in this study. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Matt Tenan at matthew.tenan@gmail.com or phone (512) 471-9228.

Effects of Trigger Point Therapy Self-Massage on Muscle Activation, Flexibility, and Ground Reaction Forces.

We are investigating the changes maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force, muscle thickness, blood flow, and ground reactions forces during hopping before and after self-massage of the calf muscle of the dominant leg in 10 healthy individuals with Trigger Point Therapy products and protocols relative to another similar product on the market.

We are recruiting healthy participants with no current lower extremity (hip/knee/ankle) injuries between the ages 18-45. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Tim Fleisher at tim.fleisher@gmail.com or contact him at (704) 961-8888.
