Dr. Eric Dugan is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Kinesiology. Prior
to coming to Boise State, Dr. Dugan headed the Biomechanics Laboratory at the School of
Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science at Ball State University. Dr. Dugan’s
research interests include: injury mechanisms and related preventative strategies, the
effectiveness of clinical intervention strategies, the effects of fatigue, structural
limitations, and load carriage on various aspects of human motion and performance, and
the influence of both short-term and long-term exercise protocols on various
biomechanical aspects of human health and performance.
