Exercise; Physiology; Pulmonary; Hypoxia; Lung; Cardiorespiratory; Sex-differences.
The long-term goal of Dr. Sheel’s research program is to understand how the respiratory and cardiovascular systems interact, respond and adapt to physiological stress and how biological sex affects these relationships. The heart, circulation, lungs, and chest wall all act together in a highly coordinated fashion. Studying each system in isolation can provide valuable information but examining how these systems act together provides a more comprehensive understanding of basic human physiology.

Motor control; Startle reflex; Reaction time; Response preparation; Motor program.
Dr. Franks’ research examines how people prepare and control their actions. One method of probing these preparation processes is to deliver a startling stimulus along with the “go” command. A brief loud sound causes a startle reflex but also triggers the release of a voluntary movement that is planned and ready to go. Because we have an understanding of the pathways responsible for the startle reflex it is possible to map movement preparation as it interacts with this reflex.

Practice; Motor learning; Skill acquisition; Expertise; Motor control; Motor behavior; Instructions; Observational practice.
Her research is guided primarily by the desire to understand the principles which guide motor learning/skill acquisition and to apply this knowledge to the design of effective practice. This includes the study of action-observation, instruction, practice organization and feedback. Dr. Hodges’ research has had significant impact internationally on motor learning theory and application, particularly the delivery of sport science support.
