Dr. Enoka is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology
and Applied Physiology. He received his Ph.D. in kinesiology
from the University of Washington in 1981, after which he
joined the faculty in the Department o Exercise and Sport
Sciences at the University of Arizona. He was given a joint
appointment in the Department of Physiology in 1986 and was
promoted to the rank of professor in both departments in 1992.
In 1993 he joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering
at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Subsequently, he moved
to the University of Colorado in 1996. His research interests
focus on the neuromuscular mechanisms responsible for acute
adjustments (arousal, muscle fatigue) and chronic adaptations
(aging, gender, limb immobilization, strength training) experienced
by humans in response to performing physical activity. His
research program includes both experimental studies on humans
and theoretical modeling with computer simulations.
