SMU Locomotor Performance Laboratory
Locomotor Performance Laboratory
The SMU Locomotor
Performance Laboratory is in the Department of Applied Physiology & Wellness of
the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.
The Locomotor Performance Laboratory specializes in terrestrial locomotion and
in relating muscle function to metabolic energy expenditure and performance.
Current research focuses on the relationships between the mechanics of movement,
performance, metabolic energy expenditure, and metabolic power. This research
addresses scientific questions at the whole-body or organism level of biological
organization, as well as addressing issues at the tissue and cellular levels.
Areas of Research
- Energetics and Mechanics of Locomotion
- Performance-Duration Relationships
-
Mechanics of Sprinting Performance
