Academic interests
What separates the best from the rest in technical endurance sports, especially trail running? What aspects of timing, from split-second decisions to longer term predictions, play a role in efficiently moving through a race course? How about related cognitive skills such as attention, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility? I am interested in how rhythmic skills and cognitive skills relate to performance and expertise training, especially in trail running. My main study involves examining performance in the field (races or workouts) with foot movement patterns alongside a rhythmic and cognitive test battery with elite and non-elite trail running athletes.
