Scholarly Interest

My current research focuses on a combined biomechanical and physiological examination of triathlon performance. My most recent work was to examine the effect of short crank arm lengths on power output, cycling economy, and ventilation while cycling in a triathlon position at subthreshold intensity. I will continue to examine the effects of short crank arm lengths on performance in triathlon, including the effect on fatigue and the bike-to-run transition.
