Dr. Eric Dugan is an Associate Professor with the Department of Kinesiology. 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.
