PhD Student
University of South Alabama
Michael Perlet MS, CSCS is currently completing a PhD in Exercise Science and Performance Nutrition at the University of South Alabama. Michael is dedicated to investigating the cardiovascular and muscular outcomes that guide the practical applications for blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise. Specifically, Michael’s masters thesis investigated capillary blood flow and heart rate variability following BFR exercise. These findings are published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. Michael will evaluate mitochondrial function in relation to BFR exercise. This is important as it provides insight on energy regeneration, energy athletes use following rest periods.
