Participate in a muscle fatigue study
Dr. Sandra Hunter, Ph.D., in the Exercise Science program in the Department of Physical Therapy is studying the influence of aging on muscle fatigue and endurance. Recruitment of healthy volunteers 65 years or over continues. By understanding the cause of muscle fatigue that changes with age we can then adopt strategies that improve age-associated impairments.
