Subject Areas:
Research Interests:
- Human cardiovascular, metabolic, and thermoregulatory responses to exercise and physical activity in hot ambient conditions
- Physical/work performance optimization in environmentally-stressful conditions
- Influence of hydration on cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses to exercise and physical activity
- Heat stress/acclimation responses in special populations
- Mechanisms of sweating and control of skin blood flow during whole-body and local skin heating in humans
His research focuses on performance optimization along with human cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses during exercise in hot ambient conditions. He is also interested in mechanisms of sweating and control of skin blood flow.
Area of Expertise:
Exercise Physiology.
Current Research :
Dr. Wingo’s research team is interested in better understanding human cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses during exercise in hot conditions with application to athletic and occupational settings. They explore perturbations involving ambient temperature; different clothing ensembles; body cooling methods; hydration; exercise intensity; exercise duration; and others. Populations studied include athletes; sedentary individuals; law enforcement and military personnel; sports officials; and industrial and agricultural workers.
He is also interested in mechanisms of sweating and control of skin blood flow. His primary classes taught include Exercise Physiology and Fitness Appraisal and Exercise Prescription.
