The Department of Applied Physiology & Wellness Invites the SMU Faculty to the Following Research SymposiaHow Muscles
Work When We Move: From Fatigue and the Limits of Sprinting Speed to
Prosthesis Design & Beyond Dr. Bundle's area of research expertise is human and non-human forms of locomotion. In particular, his recent investigations have focused on the mechanical limits of top speed running and the muscle physiology responsible for the decrements in performance that occur as the duration of the short-duration all-out efforts lengthen from seconds to minutes. In addition, he will discuss his recent work with a near-Olympic caliber bilateral trans-tibial amputee sprinter and the extension of these findings to non-human animal athletes. The Effects of
Fatigue on Lower Body Mechanics An overview of Dr. Dugan's current research on the influences of fatigue on landing and gait mechanics, focusing on changes in movement strategies and loading of anatomical structures. Effect of High Ambient Temperature on
Physical Work Capacity in Healthy and Clinical Populations Dr. Wingo will give an overview of the research in which he was involved as a doctoral student; the research concerned the effects of a phenomenon called cardiovascular drift on maximal oxygen uptake during heat stress. He will also discuss body temperature regulation in a clinical population of individuals with skin grafting over large portions of their body surface areas and how heat acclimation may be beneficial in this population as a countermeasure to impaired thermal tolerance. Dr. Wingo is currently a postdoctoral research fellow with joint appointment in the Department of Internal Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. |
