🏃‍♂️ High School XC Runners Needed 🏃‍♀️ Thomas More University is conducting a study to analyze running form and effort when running to music 🎶 Interested? Complete a short questionnaire to see if you are eligible: bit.ly/TMU_RunStudy_2… #RunnersWanted #RunningStudy #HighSchoolXC

A student working w/ @IzzyMoorePhD is studying patellofemoral pain and gait retraining in runners. The study is online and open to runners all over the World! See the flyer below for info and follow this link for eligibility: tinyurl.com/RunningStudy

🚨We’re Hiring! Thomas More University invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science position. Candidates with a background in kinesiology, exercise physiology, sports nutrition, or biomechanics are encouraged to apply. apps.thomasmore.edu/WebApps/HRJobP…

Special thanks to my committee members @DrBazettJones , Bryan Heiderscheit, @emilykrausmd , @Grant_Norte , and @AmandaMurrayPT for the continued support throughout the process.

🔑may be a promising intervention for reducing loads applied to the knee, but gradual implementation is likely needed to avoid overloading the hip (more to come soon 🤞….)

I am excited to share the first publication from my dissertation work investigating cadence manipulation (+5% and +10%) in high school cross-country runners! The first 50 copies are free online: tandfonline.com/eprint/BZZ65BC…

New publication out! ✅ Bilateral deficits in single-leg hop for distance performance does not seem to occur concomitantly with sagittal plane movement differences in people with patellofemoral pain as compared to controls. ‼️50 days' free access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kL6O3RoQ8ma…

I have a doctoral-level graduate assistantship in the concentration of Applied Biomechanics beginning Fall 2025. Research focus will be on running biomechanics, training, injuries, footwear, and performance. Interested students can fill out this form: forms.gle/4bf79FedhBV2nx…

Made our statement.

Thanks again to @run_mcg for joining us to talk single leg kinematics!

🎉🎉🎉We are off and running! Cheers to the first participant in my first study as PI at @ThomasMoreKY (shared with permission) Know a high school XC runner interested in running to music (plus earning a $20 gift card)? Check for eligibility at: bit.ly/TMU_RunStudy_2… 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Special thanks to @mariwaiteman, @jefftaylorhaas, and @DrBazettJones for their continued support and efforts to get this across the finish line!

🎉 It’s finally here! 🎉 After 5 years of on-and-off work, I am excited to announce our systematic review investigating the relationship between hip strength and hip and knee kinematics during single-leg tasks is officially published! 📚✅ tandfonline.com/eprint/6HSPNXN…

🔑 clinicians and researchers may want to consider how other functions of muscle (power, endurance) are related to lower extremity kinematics
