Research

Areas of Research

Exercise neurophysiology
Neuromuscular responses and adaptations to exercise
Fatigue
Activities

Dr. Aboodarda’s research project focused on the integration of physiological and perceptual factors determining exercise tolerance in healthy individuals. Despite COVID-19 setbacks, the team managed to coordinate a large study investigating the kinetics of neuromuscular and perceptual responses to different exercise intensities and durations.

In another project, the team measured acute corticospinal excitability and inhibition responses to pre-induced fatigue and experimental pain conditions. Neurophysiological responses were quantified using non-invasive techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain and peripheral nerve electrical stimulation of the skeletal muscles.
