Kinesiology professor Donald R. Dengel, Ph.D., was interviewed for CEHD’s Improving Lives Vision 20/20 blog on the body analytics software, Dexalytics. In the article, “The Potential of Dexalytics to Improve Sport Performance,” Dengel, director of the Laboratory of Integrative Human Physiology describes the software program, which uses data gathered from dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to provide specialized information on an individual’s sports performance and ability. The software, which he and colleagues have been refining for the past two decades, has proven to be a valuable asset for professional sports teams in helping their trainers, coaches, and sports medicine professionals assess players’ abilities and potential.

In a related article on Dexalytics published in Radiology Today, Tyler Bosch, Ph.D., Kinesiology Ph.D. graduate (2014) and an advisee of Dengel, was quoted on the capabilities of the software program. Bosch is a researcher in CEHD and works with Dengel on the Dexalytics team.
