Looking ahead at Summer 2019

DIESEL Summer Research Collections

Things are busy in the lab this summer! DIESEL trainee research collections are in full swing, and we are looking for participants! Dan Fournier is studying smart watch use while performing typical rotator cuff rehabilitation exercises, while Bhillie Luciani is hoping to finish up her MSc thesis collection focusing on pectoralis muscle fatigue in university-aged males.

DIESEL trainees are currently recruiting participants for a research study! 

We are actively looking for individuals with overweight or obese body types (as determined by the Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement) for an ergonomics research study taking place on campus in our lab. The aim of this study is to assess differences in physical exposures between varying body composition groups while performing manual material handling tasks.
