Biography
Allen L. Redinger is a postdoctoral associate under the mentorship of Bradley C. Nindl in the Neuromuscular Research Laboratory/Warrior Human Performance Research Center within the Department of Sports Medicine and Nutrition. Redinger is currently investigating how tendons, muscles and bones structurally and mechanically adapt to arduous physical training and injury in military personnel, with the ultimate goal of improving warfighter resilience and decreasing military musculoskeletal injury risk. During his academic career, Redinger has worked with various populations, ranging from ROTC cadets, collegiate, professional and Olympic athletes, police and firefighters and clinical populations. He looks forward to continuing to research to improve physical performance traits and mitigate injury rates within military and athletic communities.
