Prof. Jamie Burr, Human Health & Nutritional Science, had a study he is working on featured in the Toronto Star Jan. 23. The story looks at how Burr is working on strategies, including manipulating blood flow before training sessions, that could enable elite athletes to improve on athletic performance. He noted initial tests support the idea that this strategy could improve performance, and a larger study will take place this fall. Burr is currently working with the Speed River/Gryphons Running teams (as part of his appointment), which sees him training and testing elite athletes/Olympians. He is director of the Human Performance & Health Research Lab at U of G.
