San Diego State University Welcome to my Home Page. I am interested in pathomechanics and injury prevention in physical fitness, sport, and public and work places. As such, I have developed fitness and injury prevention programs for a number of external agencies including American College of Obstetricians and Gynocologists, American Academy of Family Physicians, Reebok International, Mitsubishi of Japan, and manufacturers of wooden and synthetic floors.
Recent data indicate that injuries have been significantly reduced.
Working with these groups is a researcher's delight. My next project involves examining the biomechanical effects of different load carrying packs. The Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology Labs are continuing the mutually beneficial work with Reebok International. Drs Michael Buono, Jeanne Nichols-Bernhard and I have been involved with research and development of the Cycle Reebok program. As with its predecessors, step training and slide training, Cycle Reebok has become extremely popular all over the world.
