Biography

Dr. Jon Farthing is a Professor in the College of Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan. His research primarily focuses on neuromuscular adaptations resulting from both acute and chronic strength training, with a particular interest in the effects of cross-education. He is known for his work on how strength training in one limb can enhance the strength of an untrained limb, which has important clinical applications, especially in injury rehabilitation. Dr. Farthing utilizes various neuroimaging techniques to study these adaptations, particularly in the context of eccentric exercise training. His academic contributions are significant in understanding the mechanisms underlying strength training and rehabilitation strategies.
