Christiana Raymond-Pope, PhD, researcher in the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), led by Sarah Greising, PhD, associate professor in the School of Kinesiology, published an article, “Resistance wheel running improves contractile strength, but not metabolic capacity, in a murine model of volumetric muscle loss injury,” in Experimental Physiology. This work is part of a collaborative project between Drs. Greising and Jarrod Call. Co-authors of the article include co-first author and PhD candidate Albino Schifino, Jun-Won Heo, and Dr. Jennifer McFaline-Figueroa of the University of Georgia. The objective of this study was to determine if low- or high-resistance voluntary wheel running leads to functional improvements in muscle strength and metabolic function after traumatic injury.
