Congratulations to Drs. Robert Boushel, HC Holmberg, Jose Calbet on their new paper on COVID receptor expression.
Drs. Robert Boushel, Jose Calbet (Affiliate professor), Hans Christer Holmberg (Affiliate Professor), and colleagues have published a study investigating Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) in skeletal muscle. ACE2 enzymes generate proteins that control blood pressure. The SARS-CoV-2 virus penetrates human cells by binding to ACE2 receptors, causing COVID-19 infections. The study found that muscle ACE2 protein expression is higher in […]

This month, I had the chance to relive the magic of Imagine Day through my role as a Senior Orientation Leader. The day began with a 6:30 AM wakeup that was much less painful than expected. All the leaders arrived bright and early to check-in, deck themselves in green face paint, and head over to […]
Congratulations to Nikki Hodges & Pearson Wyder-Hodge for their published Topical Review: Perceptual-cognitive Skills, Methods, and Skill-based Comparisons in Interceptive Sports
In this article, the authors provide “definitional clarity regarding whether a skill is primarily visual attentional (ranging from fundamental/low-level skills to high-level skills) or cognitive”, and review those skills that have been studied using sport-specific stimuli or tests, such as postural cue anticipation in baseball, as well as those that are mostly devoid of sport […]

“An Examination of Dweck’s Psychological Needs Model in Relation to Exercise-Related Well-Being” – study by Colin M. Wierts, Guy Faulkner and Mark Beauchamp
This two-part study examined Dweck’s psychological needs model in relation to exercise-related well-being and particularly focused on the basic need for optimal predictability and compound needs for identity and meaning. In Part 1 (N = 559), using exploratory factor analysis, scores derived from items assessing optimal predictability (prediction of affect and instrumental utility in exercise) were empirically […]
