LOREN CHIU, PhD
Presentation Topic: “Exercise Selection - An Anatomic & Mechanical Approach”
Loren is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Neuromusculoskeletal Mechanics Research Program at the University of Alberta. Loren’s research integrates the fields of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to study human performance. Current research investigates the generation of muscle strength and its role in multi-joint movement. Loren has also conducted research in the areas of:
- Analysis and optimization of multi-segmental motor skills
- Acute responses and chronic adaptations to resistance training
- Transfer of training to motor skill performance
In addition to research, a major component of the NMRP is knowledge translation, including the training of high-performance athletes. Loren also continues to train and compete in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting.
BRIAN SCHILLING, PhD
Presentation Topic: “Time motion analysis, mechanical specificity and metabolic specificity: How does it all fit?”
Dr. Schilling’s area of research is the mechanics of human movement as pertains to responses and adaptations to exercise training in athletic, healthy, and aging populations, as well as in individuals with disabilities or neuromuscular disease. Of prime importance is the influence of the neuromuscular system on force development and time-dependent variables of muscular strength. Currently the he is developing procedures for measuring muscle activity, balance and strength performance in aging persons and persons with Parkinson disease, and examining the effects of exercise in such populations.
Brian obtained his PhD in Biology from the University of Memphis in 2004. He is also a certified US Weightlifting club coach and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). He achieved his Master’s degree from Appalachian State (1999) and his Bachelor of Science from Winona State (1997).
