Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory

Overview

The Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory, under the leadership of Jeremy P. Loenneke, is a research group with a primary focus on the skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance exercise. Specifically, The Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory is interested in low-load alternatives to traditional resistance exercise, and the applications these methods may have on clinical, aging and other special populations. Their recent work has answered several important methodological and safety questions with respect to applying blood flow restriction during low load resistance training.

This laboratory has also recently started investigating whether or not changes in muscle size have an impact on changes in muscle strength.  This line of research may have important implications for therapy as well as sports performance.
