Ethan C. Hill, PhD, CSCS, EP, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Rehabilitations Sciences at the University of Central Florida, an Assistant Scientist at the Florida Space Institute, and an off-site clinician within College of Medicine. The primary focus of Hill’s research is to identify exercise and/or rehabilitation strategies that elicit the most robust physiological responses among men and women with a particular emphasis on neuromuscular and cardiovascular function. Hill examines various interventions to determine the applicability of exercise, devices, and/or external stimuli to promote or maintain human function in asymptomatic and clinical populations. His laboratory is currently applying blood flow restricted exercise as a rehabilitative strategy to help restore neuromuscular and muscle function among people with multiple sclerosis. Hill’s lab is also evaluating the utility of blood flow restriction as a countermeasure to offset the effects of prolonged spaceflight on cardiovascular function.
