I could use help PTs and muscle testing folks! Do you have any load cell recommendations to be used in a gym setting that allows real-time force feedback? The goal is to use it for knee extension training so it's even better if the feedback is easily viewable (monitor or app).

This #Opinion article from Matthew J. Fogarty (Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering, @MayoClinic) considers the concept of 'mild motor impairment '- a "harbinger of sarcopenia and frailty".

Neat story on two of my awesome undergrad researchers! The sky is the limit for these two.
KSU seniors Kaden Buford & Kayla Anderson are leading undergrad research in exercise science, earning top honors for studies on muscle fatigue & mental imagery! Their work is shaping the future of the field.

Really happy to see the first study from my PhD now published in JCSM! Thanks to everyone involved who helped make this happen 🌟 Have a read if you are interested in sex hormones and muscle ageing 💪doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.13786

💯 Yet less individuals participate in resistance training. What's more concerning, I'm thinking many 40 and older are not aware of its necessity for health and are confused or lack confidence about this modality. The ones who need it most...

IMHO, resistance training is the most important physical activity you can do for overall health and wellness. However, that doesn't discount the benefits of aerobic exercise. The two are synergistic and can have additive effects. Do both...
