Empowering Rural Health Through Digital Fitness
The RemoteEx+ study is in collaboration with Emporia State University and aims to evaluate whether an app-based exercise program is feasible among rural sedentary adults. The goal is to create an effective method for delivering personalized exercise programming that reduces barriers to physical activity and enhances overall fitness. We are seeking adults aged 40 to 95 to engage in app-guided exercise sessions three times per week for 16 weeks, with questionnaires and physical assessments conducted before and after the study.

Velocity-Based Exercise Feedback in Individuals with Age-Related Muscle Loss
This study explores how movement speed feedback during a leg press exercise may influence performance, motivation, fatigue, and overall effort. The information we gather will help improve strength training and rehabilitation programs for older adults, ages 60 to 95, who experience sarcopenia, a condition related to aging that causes loss of muscle mass, strength, and physical function.

Remotely Improving Physical Activity in Rural Veterans with Cognitive Impairment and Care Partner Dyads
The goal of the 2-year training plan and research is to provide training in the areas of community-engaged research and qualitative analyses to facilitate the research project that seeks to adapt a physical activity program with rural-dwelling Veterans with mild cognitive impairment and their care partner and test the program’s feasibility and proof-of-concept testing.
High-Intensity Interval Training and the Vestibular System
From Evaluation to Action: Improving Mobility Through 24-Hour Accelerometry Feedback in the Acute Care Setting
The goal of this research is to determine the feasibility of integrating wearable sensors within acute care practice to inform and improve mobility practices and ultimately to enhance patient outcomes.
The goal of this research project is to learn about the benefits of high-intensity interval training for vestibular system in older adults.
