Career Specialties

Joseph Walters has a Ph.D. in sports physiology and performance with an emphasis in physiology from East Tennessee State University. His research interest focuses on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, strength and power. Additionally, he also researches ergogenic aids, body composition and athlete monitoring. Currently, he is investigating novel ways to increase muscle hypertrophy via resistance training and how muscle size may potentiate strength and performance.

Professional and Community Activities

Walters is working on several projects related to athlete monitoring and fatigue management. His most recent work is a project that aims to investigate fatigue with non-invasive biomarkers that may help autoregulate workload for athletes.
