Current Research
Dr. Stover's most recent research involves metabolic adaptations to training phases. It is hypothesized that that adaptations in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and respiratory quotient (RQ) will be apparent during distinct phases of an endurance training regimen for collegiate cross-country athletes.
Previous Research
1. Ratings of perceived exertion in response to cognitive challenge during physical activity
2. Effects of diet on inflammation, glutathione expression, and resting metabolic rate in human subjects
3. Effects of physical activity and sleep on salivary glutathione expression in human subjects
4. Effects of high-intensity exercise on lipid peroxidation and glutathione expression in mouse liver and skeletal muscle
