RESEARCH PROJECTS

Pilot Studies

​

(1) Comparison of different methods of determining muscle architecture variables with ultrasonography images.

 

(2) Reliability of extended field of view quadriceps muscle ultrasonography in young adults.

​

(3) Acute effects of different blood flow occlusion levels on blood flow and muscle oxygenation measured at rest using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).

​

(4) Reliability of endothelial function measured with flow mediated dilation in young adults.
