Research

I am currently pursuing four main lines of research inquiry. The majority of this research supports the Ph.D. dissertation and M.Sc. thesis needs of my current allotment of senior level graduate students.

The topics are as follows;

Central cardiovascular responses to incremental exercise

	cardiac output (CO₂ rebreathing)
	stroke volume
	heart rate

Reassessment of the VO₂ plateau at VO₂max

Hydration and Renal Physiology

	glycerol hyperhydration
	optimizing pre-exercise hydration
	optimizing hydration during exercise
	optimizing rehydration

Altitude Physiology

	VO₂max
	central cardiovascular function
	hydration
	endurance performance
	anaerobic capacity and intense exercise performance

Research within Exercise Science at UNM is predominantly carried out in the research laboratories of the Center For Exercise and Applied Human Physiology (CEAHP).
