Michael Bohne

Biography

I am a Professor of Exercise Science and currently serving as the Associate Department Chair for Exercise Science & Outdoor Recreation at Utah Valley University. My main research interests involve biomechanics of human movement. I have been involved with several field studies investigating gait biomechanics, weight training, load carriage, etc. In addition to my research and applied performance exploits, I teach biomechanics, advanced biomechanics, kinesiology, motor learning and control, and research methods.
