Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory
The Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Lab studies skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance exercise, focusing on low-load alternatives and their applications for clinical, aging, and special populations.
About the Lab
The Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory, under the leadership of Jeremy P. Loenneke, is a research group with a primary focus on the skeletal muscle adaptations to resistance exercise. Specifically, The Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory is interested in low-load alternatives to traditional resistance exercise, and the applications these methods may have on clinical, aging and other special populations.
- Our recent work has answered several important methodological and safety questions with respect to applying blood flow restriction during low load resistance training.
- We have also recently started investigating whether or not changes in muscle size have an impact on changes in muscle strength. This line of research may have important implications for therapy as well as sports performance.

Kevser Ermin
The Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory is named in honor of Kevser Ermin, a dedicated doctoral student whose passion for health, fitness, and research left a lasting impact at the University of Mississippi. Kevser tragically passed away in 2011, but her legacy continues through this lab, which supports cutting-edge research in exercise physiology.
The lab stands as a tribute to her commitment to education, health, and the pursuit of knowledge, ensuring future generations of students carry forward her spirit of determination and excellence.
