Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clifton J. Holmes' research focuses on understanding physiological responses to various forms of exercise and training, particularly in female collegiate athletes. His work has investigated the relationship between body composition metrics and athletic performance in rowers, utilizing novel image processing systems. He has also examined the impact of heart-rate variability recording duration on performance and explored vagally derived heart rate variability in relation to training perturbations and the menstrual cycle in these athletes.

Further expanding his research scope, Holmes has studied the neuromuscular responses to blood flow restriction and ice application during maximal effort knee extension and flexion. Additionally, his work includes evaluating the effects of exercise programs on maternal health and birth outcomes in sedentary pregnant participants with obesity through randomized controlled trials.

Holmes holds an h-index of 9, with 19 total publications and 447 citations. He has collaborated with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Florêncio Diniz-Sousa, Jayne Bellando, Lisa T. Jansen, and Clark Sims.
