Current Research

Lisa Ha’s primary research explores fatigue and neuromuscular physiology within the broader field of integrative human physiology, seeking to understand how the nervous system and muscles interact to shape human movement and performance. Her work investigates fatigue-induced mechanisms underlying potential sex-related differences, with the long-term goal of expanding these insights to better understand age-related changes across the lifespan. By bridging neurophysiological processes with whole-body function, Lisa aims to inform strategies that improve exercise tolerance, rehabilitation outcomes, and inclusivity in physiological research.
