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.
