Sports Performance Lab at Texas Tech University

Another PhD student from our lab successfully defended his dissertation on “Performance and Physiological Adaptations to Circuit-Based Heat Acclimation” yesterday!! 🤩

He did an amazing job on study planning, data collection, analysis, writing and presenting 👏👏👏

We are very excited to publish papers from this project to show how a short duration of alternative heat acclimation approach can induce novel adaptations!! 👍😉🙌

Thank you for all who attended the defense and supported him!! Huge thanks to all committee members as well 👆⚫️🔴

Congrats Dr. Dunn!!!!!!

Marcos Keefe, PhD student from our lab, successfully defended his dissertation yesterday!!! 🤩

It was a big project investigating heat acclimation of male and female elite runners and its effect on performance in cool environment!!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍 He did a great job not only on his presentation and writing but also the study planing to data collection 👏👏👏

Thank you so much for attending his defense online and in person and supporting his journey!!! We heard really nice comments about his presentation and writing from many people after that 😊

Thank you all committee members, also and to fund this study!!😉

So proud of you, Dr Keefe!! 👆🔴⚫️

Our new publication ✅✅✅

After muscle damaging exercise in the heat compared to normal environment, slow wave sleep and REM sleep duration increase 💤🛌😴

One muscle damage exercise in the heat can induce interesting response to our body, such as increasing cellular tolerance to the subsequent exercise bout!! 🔥

Great job team!! 🤩
