Kinesiology students honored by Graduate School
Three graduate students in the Department of Kinesiology earned Thesis/Dissertation Research Awards from Auburn University’s Graduate School
during the spring semester.
The students were Yi Sun, Kenneth Games and Lindsey Schreiber Miller. Each earned awards of $500 from the Graduate School Fellowship Committee in support of their research projects.
Sun’s dissertation explores the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in evaluating the onset of heightened metabolic activity during muscle contractions.
Games’ project – “Physiological effects of prolonged sitting in the UH-60 Black Hawk” – explores the stresses experienced by U.S. Army helicopter pilots.
Miller’s dissertation, “Endogenous Opioids and Exercise Induced Cardioprotection,” focuses on the ways in which exercise protects the heart by reducing tissue injury and cellular decay.
