7/19/10 - Barefoot Running
Below is a copy of my wife's, Terrieha Romer, masters project. She focused on the recent phenomenon of barefoot running and the benefits, risks, and research behind it. Further, she also constructed a program for those looking to introduce barefoot running into existing or new programs. Terrieha's project was designed as a guide for coaches and athletes alike. Eventually we will be turning this into a book and selling it so I'd view it for free while you can.If you'd like additional information regarding barefoot running, Dr. Lieberman, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard University, has a great website with tons of information. Enjoy and please feel free to send feedback.

7/18/10 - Track & Field Triple Jump Research
Below is copy of my Masters thesis from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. It is focused on the triple jump event in Track & Field, and is titled "Phase Ratios and Effort Distribution of American Collegiate Triple Jumpers." The sample size included in this study was somewhat small, however, I am in the process of analyzing additional data that I recorded at later points in the season. All-in-all I should wind up with close to 45 participants. Once all of this is done, my thesis chair and I will be working on trying to get this submitted for publication. I'll post more details as they become available.Masters Thesis -
