Justin J. Merrigan

Justin J. Merrigan studies human physical performance and readiness, with a strong focus on military and tactical populations, such as how load carriage, foot marches, and combat fitness tests relate to strength, jumping ability, and cognitive function. His work also spans strength training methods (like accentuated eccentric loading and jump testing technology), recovery techniques, and stress/well-being interventions in healthcare workers, using tools like force plates, wearable heart rate monitors, and body composition analysis.

Publication output rose sharply from 2017 to a peak around 2020-2021, then declined and has since stabilized at a moderate, steady pace over the past few years.
