Athlete Populations

In the Spring 2025 semester, the students focused their chapters on the neuromechanics of specific populations. They submitted one-page papers throughout the semester for feedback and were encouraged to think about the college students who would be reading their work and write about their topic in a way that would be interesting to college students. Roughly half of the students are/were NCAA Division II student-athletes, so they were writing their chapters with a unique perspective into their sport.
