Roger Maro Enoka is professor and former chair of the Department of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado at Boulder.[1] He is also the director of the Neurophysiology of Movement Lab.[2]
According to Web of Knowledge, Professor Enoka has 232 published items, which have been cited a total of 9,254 times (as of Nov 10, 2014). His most frequently cited paper (622 citations) is titled "Neurobiology of Muscle Fatigue".[3] Professor Enoka has an h-index of 51 as of November 10, 2014.[4]
Notable publications[edit]
In 2012, Enoka co-authored a review on the motor unit with C.J. Heckman. This work represents a major contribution as the work was published in Comprehensive Physiology, which is the most authoritative collection of review content ever assembled in the physiological sciences.[5]
To appear in publication in 2013, Enoka co-authored a chapter in the 5th edition of Principles of Neural Science along with Pearson KG. The chapter is titled "The motor unit and muscle action."
Invited lectures and awards[edit]
In May 2010, Enoka was inducted into the University of Otago, School of Physical Education Wall of Fame.[6]
In July 2011, Enoka gave the Muybridge Keynote Lecture at the International Society of Biomechanics Meeting, held in Brussels, Belgium.[7]
On Nov 1, 2012, Enoka delivered a keynote lecture titled "Adaptations in physical performance from childhood to senescence" at the 4th International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health in Sydney, Australia.[8]
