CSULB Movement Science Lab

New article is now published online! Great work by Justin Demoss (M.S. 2023) on his thesis work studying wildland firefighters. The article is open access and available on the website for the Open Sports Sciences Journal! Good work Justin!

Testing out some new ideas and seeing what we can and can’t measure. Plus showing our flexibility….because we can!

That look when you’re trying to sniff out whether or not your thesis committee will pass you…..we let her collect in our lab so we will ignore the fact that it was physiology….nice work Chase! Now Master Chase!

First the head flies off….then the torso goes exorcism-style wild, then a complete flip by the pelvis/legs….if this doesn’t happen every time you bench press, you’re not training properly. Just exploring some new movements with to see what’s possible. Bench press is challenging apparently…

The culmination of the year long research program. .marianna presented her research at for her Rackham Aspiring Fellows program. And, possibly most importantly, recognized for her likelihood to disappear to fit in a workout! Nice work Sophia!

Former grad student Justin Demoss had his thesis manuscript accepted for publication. He spent months cultivating a relationship with some Hot Shot crews in the California mountain ranges (they even put him through a trial hike to see if he was worthy!). He successfully collected some data on them in hopes of helping improve the understanding around their job tasks. This acceptance is a testament to his hard work and dedication. Oh and he’s also now a woodland firefighter himself, running with his team to better the lives of our firefighter community. Great work Justin!

Former grad student Justin Demoss is doing some great work his foundation check out his fundraiser and all his work centering around the firefighter community! keep up the good work!!!!

Trying to figure out the best way to define the start and end of concentric/eccentric phase of the lift when you don’t have barbell data to go off of….hip flexion? Hand COG position? COM position? Something else???? Research problems in the world of swole science

Pilot sessions. Forces, RDLs, EMG, markerless mocap! Only a few tech issues!

Thesis work!!!! RMR first thing in the morning means hangry people….. .amara doin the work and making others suffer for science.

Thesis proposal!!!! Friday at 11am, .davis99 will be dropping his knowledge (seeking approval?) for his thesis project on RDLs. Come check it out if you’re on campus HSD-102A

When you science your way right into the afterlife! But you’re still a fan of the ! Happy Halloween! (And thanks to whichever player left their jersey behind!)
