In episode #168 we talked with Dr. Steven O’Bryan about
- Age and sex hormone impacts on female neuromuscular function and performance
- How muscle contractions and force can change over time
- Postmenopausal hormonal changes and muscle strength and contractility
Dr Steven O’Bryan is an internationally recognised neuromuscular physiologist whose research explores how sex-specific ageing, age-related disease, acute exercise, and long-term training adaptations influence the integration between the brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle. His work aims to develop innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance physical function and performance across the lifespan. Dr O’Bryan is an expert in a range of advanced neurophysiological techniques, including electrical and magnetic nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and assessments of skeletal muscle force and power. His research bridges mechanistic physiology with real-world applications in clinical, athletic, and ageing populations.
