⁦UCalgary Kinesiology⁩ We are out in force for the 3Minute Thesis 2024 Finals ⁦U Calgary⁩. All the best to Darsh Tripathi and Patrick Whitman… as they present. #3MT

🔹️Incredibly excited and proud to finally be able to share this paper with the world! ☺️🎉 🔹️We show that discharge rate adjustments of the vastii motor units during isometric contractions to failure depend on contraction intensity and modality.🤓 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure go.nature.com/4azQ8Ft

Acute performance fatigability following continuous vs. intermittent cycling protocols is not proportional to total work done (in PL1 Male/Female Cyclists) cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/ap…

🍾 Excited to share our recent study (Saied Jalal Aboodarda lab) where we showed the effect of active muscle mass on NM fatigue is intensity-dependent! 🦵vs. 🦵🦵 cycling to exhaustion in each intensity domain

Very thrilled to share our latest paper out now in Experimental Brain Research!! We measured reliability of MEPs, SICI, and LICI during locomotor exercise (single-leg cycling) 🧠🚴 Thank you Saied Jalal Aboodarda and team!! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Now the picture

📣Proud to announce that Dr. Martin MacInnis (U Calgary) is the first recipient of our newly designed bilateral KEE. Providing the ability to access new frontiers in exercise physiology! Check out the photos- seamless transition between bilateral and unilateral exercise! #KEE

We're searching for a Ph.D. student (fully funded) to work in our brand new balance robotics lab U Calgary - come join our vibrant research group within the Human Performance Lab! Please RT. UCalgary Kinesiology Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) University of Calgary Biomedical Engineering

🎊Our first paper of the year is now available to read ahead-of-print in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise!🍻 Saied Jalal Aboodarda We saw prolonged VA and EMG depression across 3 exhaustive cycling sessions repeated in 24 hrs, while Qtw fully recovered. journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abst…

Tom's Weekend Warrior study is out! Training either 4x (short) or 2x (long) weekly resulted in the same adaptations, when overall volume and content of training was fixed. Performance, thresholds, efficiency, Hbmass, and ox cap ↑ equally in both groups. Martin MacInnis

Our review argues that cardiorespiratory fitness needs to be matched between males and females when investigating sex differences

No time to train during the week? #UCalgary Dr. Martin MacInnis says weekend-only workouts are just as effective if the intensity is right. Read more: bit.ly/4kbNZ7u #UCalgaryResearch #Kinesiology #ExerciseScience #UCalgaryKinesiology

📖 New in J Neurophysiol Our new paper by Gabi Elder and supervised by Ryan Norbury explores how acute quadriceps muscle pain affects motor performance, neuromuscular function and corticospinal excitability/inhibition Lex Mauger University of Kent St Mary's University journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

🥳🪩 Our systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression: “The Role of Muscle Mass on Endurance Performance and Neuromuscular Fatigue” is now out in Sports Medicine We saw ⬇️active mm allows ⬆️peripheral + central ftg without change in performance link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This systematic review and meta-analysis finds that exercising with a smaller amount of active muscle mass is likely to allow individuals to tolerate more metabolic stress, without an overall impact on their endurance performance.

I am recruiting MSc and PhD students to begin in September 2026 and a Postdoctoral Fellow to begin either in September 2026 or January 2027 at Wilfrid Laurier University (Wilfrid Laurier University)! If you're interested in cardiovascular physiology and health research, please connect!
