Dr. Gregory Pearcey

Professor

Biography

Gregory Pearcey is a professor at Memorial University specializing in sensorimotor neuroscience, neural control of movement, and motor units. His research predominantly focuses on the interactions between neuromechanics and human locomotion, with an emphasis on the role of sensory feedback in motor control. Over the years, he has published numerous articles in high-impact journals, contributing significantly to the understanding of neuromuscular fatigue and the effects of resistance training on spinal excitability. His work explores various interventions aimed at improving movement performance and rehabilitation outcomes, particularly in populations with chronic conditions. Pearcey's research also delves into the evolutionary perspective of human locomotion and strategies to enhance athletic performance through targeted training regimens. He is committed to advancing the field of exercise physiology and making meaningful contributions to both academic research and practical applications in rehabilitation and athletic training.
