Dr. Christopher J. Simenz serves as an Associate Professor in the Institute for Health and Humanity at the Medical College of Wisconsin, with a secondary appointment as Clinical Associate Professor in the Physical Therapy department at Marquette University. His academic work spans the intersection of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and public health, with particular expertise in electromyography analysis and community health interventions.
Dr. Simenz's research interests include biomechanics, exercise physiology, strength and conditioning practices across professional sports, and childhood obesity in urban environments. His work bridges the gap between sports science and population health, applying principles from athletic performance research to community health challenges. His methodological expertise spans both quantitative biomechanical analysis and qualitative community engagement approaches.
His publication record demonstrates consistent scholarly output from 2004 to 2015, with a focus on electromyography analysis of muscle activation during exercises, comparative studies of strength and conditioning practices across Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, and the National Hockey League, and community-based approaches to understanding childhood obesity. These publications appear primarily in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, reflecting his strong foundation in sports science methodology.
Dr. Simenz is actively involved in the Master of Public Health/Doctor of Public Health program at the Medical College of Wisconsin, contributing to public health education while maintaining his research connections to physical therapy and sports science through his affiliation with Marquette University. His dual appointments reflect an interdisciplinary approach that connects clinical practice, research, and public health education.
