Research at the Center
for Human Performance (CHP) is a primary focus. With projects subsidized by
research grants, endowments, and industry funding, the CHP has been able to
initiate solid evidence based research in the areas of footwear biomechanics,
pitching pathomechanics, ACL reconstructive techniques, and various motion
analysis applications.
The following is a brief
list of studies conducted by the CHP:
Aguinaldo, AL,
Buttermore, J, and Chambers, HG. 2007. Effects of upper trunk rotation on
shoulder joint torque between baseball pitchers of various levels. Journal of
Applied Biomechanics, 23, 42-51.
