Howdy, We are recruiting healthy adults ages 18–40 for a research study evaluating the comfort and tolerability of a high-frequency chest wall oscillation vest under different operating conditions. We also want to determine whether venting pressure from the vest while a person breathes in makes the vest easier and more comfortable to use. Study Title: Comfort and Tolerability During Use of a High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation Vest With and Without Inspiratory Venting in Healthy Adults Principal Investigator: Steven Riechman, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology & Sport Management Texas A&M University Who May Be Eligible: Healthy adults ages 18–40 Individuals able to attend two in-person laboratory visits Additional eligibility criteria apply What Participation Includes: Two laboratory visits lasting approximately 1–1.5 hours each Wearing a chest-wall oscillation vest under different operating conditions Completing brief surveys about tolerability, comfort, and ease of breathing Performing breathing tests using spirometry Location: Performance and Fatigue Laboratory Gilchrist Building, Room 345 2929 Research Pkwy College Station, TX 77845 Participants will receive $20 per hour, up to $50 total, provided through a prepaid debit card. Participation is voluntary, and participants may withdraw at any time without penalty.

The Huffines Institute thanks Dr. Roger Kollock for delivering the 2026 Hilliard Lecture in Human Performance. During his visit to TAMU, Dr. Kollock met with students and faculty to share his research, career path, and advice for the next generation of human performance scientists. He is on the faculty at the University of Tulsa, where he directs the Biomechanics Research Laboratory in the Oxley College of Health Sciences. His research examines the neuromuscular and biomechanical factors that influence injury risk among traditional athletes and nontraditional athletic populations, including firefighters and military personnel. Special thanks to Huffines Faculty Affiliate Dr. Jenna Yentes for serving as his faculty host. by @knsmtamu
An awesome upcoming seminar opportunity to learn what Dr. Thomas Ferris, a faculty member in TAMU's Industrial & Systems Engineering Department, and his Human Factors and Cognitive Systems Lab are currently working on. His research investigates how people think and work in complex human-machine systems, with an emphasis on attention and interruption management, decision-making under time pressure, human error, and human-automation interaction. His work has been applied in anesthesiology, aviation, military command and control, unmanned vehicle operations, ground transportation, and construction. by @knsmtamu

Before using a velocity number to make a decision, I want four labels attached to it: 1. Exercise: What movement did they perform? 2. Load: How was it prescribed? 3. Object: Was the bar or the athlete-plus-load system measured? 4. Metric: Mean velocity or peak velocity? Our study makes the third point hard to ignore. The bar was faster than the system in every exercise and load combination we tested. “Fast” by itself isn’t enough information to coach from. Save this checklist for the next time a velocity chart lands on your desk. 📚 Paper: Suchomel, Kissick, Techmanski, Mann & Comfort (2025). “Velocity-Based Training With Weightlifting Derivatives: Barbell and System Velocity Comparisons.” Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 39(2), 135–146. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000004962 #FadFriday #VelocityBasedTraining #StrengthAndConditioning by @knsmtamu
