Health & Sport Science Research

Cutting-Edge Health & Sport Science Research

At the Denver Center for Health & Sport Science, we perform research projects on various topics related to health, sports science and fitness. Some of the projects over the last 18 months have included:

• Energy Expenditure During Golf

  • This landmark study demonstrated that walking the golf course will contribute to health, and possibly the most important fitness variable in energy system performance is anaerobic threshold.

• The Effects of an 8-week Pilates Program

  • Pilates will increase fitness in people that have not exercised previously, especially in core strength.

• Future Research
  

  • Is shoveling snow a good workout?
  • Does walking the dog burn any more calories than just walking?
  • Energy expenditure during golf at the driving range.
