Foreman publishes in International Journal of Sport Physiology and Performance

Nick Foreman, graduate student in the School of Kinesiology and research assistant in the Human and Sport Performance Laboratory (HSPL), has published a study entitled, “Assessment of a Treadmill Speed Incline Conversion Chart: A Validation Study“, in the International Journal of Sport Physiology and Performance.

The study, which was funded by a UROP grant, examined a chart used to convert flat to equivalent incline running speeds on a treadmill. It found that while reliable at lower levels, the suggested speeds led to an increase in oxygen use and other measures of effort at higher inclines.

Co-authors were Christopher Lundstrom, PhD, sport and exercise science lecturer and HSPL director, and Emma Lee, a Ph.D. alum, and current post-doc in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine.
