About

Colin Lomasney is a researcher focused on the intersection of biomechanics, motor control, and human performance. His work investigates how fatigue alters the mechanics and energetics of human movement, with a particular emphasis on walking. In his most-cited study, "Effects of induced motor fatigue on walking mechanics and energetics" (2023), Lomasney demonstrated that localized muscle fatigue significantly disrupts gait patterns, leading to compensatory strategies that increase metabolic cost. This contribution is critical for understanding injury risk in athletes and rehabilitation protocols for clinical populations. With over 10 citations in a short time, his research is gaining traction among peers in sports science and physical therapy. Lomasney’s work stands out for its rigorous experimental design, combining motion capture and indirect calorimetry to link neuromuscular fatigue with whole-body energy expenditure. His findings have practical implications for designing fatigue-resistant training programs and improving recovery interventions. As an emerging voice in biomechanics, Lomasney continues to explore how the nervous system adapts to stress, bridging gaps between laboratory science and real-world movement efficiency.
