Expertise: Dr. Herda’s research interests include the noninvasive assessment of muscle function with surface electromyography (EMG) and mechanomyography (MMG) and the effects of aging, vibration, and passive stretching on neuromuscular function and the biomechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit. Currently, his primary focus is on the development of a noninvasive model to distinguish muscle fiber typing and the decomposition of surface EMG signals into single motor unit action potentials. In addition, Dr. Herda investigates the effects of nutritional supplementation on anabolic biomarkers (i.e. rapamycin pathway [mTOR]), body composition, sport and functional performance across the lifespan. He has published over 40 peer reviewed articles in journals such Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, Muscle and Nerve, European Journal of Applied Physiology, Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, and Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology.
