Ph.D. candidates in the Health and Exercise Science (HES) department are researching a new method of studying the electical impulses in athletes muscles. Electromyography or EMG will allow researchers to more efficiently record how electrical signals are received and transferred through our muscles, which will, in turn, allow them to develop more efficient ways of training athletes to build muscle.
The study has been ongoing for about three months, and researchers are seeking both male and female and trained and untrained participants.
"Honestly it's been tough for all of us researchers to manage our time between working with participants in the lab and doing our reading and writing, but it's been a very interesting study so far," said Matt Stock, a Ph.D. candidate and graduate assistant in the HES department.
The study is taking place in the Collums building and participants are required to make two visits, each lasting about 75 minutes. Those interested can contact Matt Stock at mattstock@ou.edu or look up more information on HES Web site at http://hes.ou.edu.
