Published Alumni
Jacob W. Disterhaupt
Jacob Disterhaupt and co-writers John S. Fitzgerald, Jesse L. Rhoades, and Grant R. Tomkinson examined the relationship between the digit ratio (the relative length of the index and ring fingers) and vertical jump performance in NCAA D1 football players.
Read the Study published in the American Journal of Human Biology.
Bridget Pinoniemi
Bridget Pinoniemi and co-writers Grant R. Tomkinson, Tanis J. Walch, James N. Roemmich and John S. Fitzgerald showed that the muscular power of American kids improved between 1911 and 1990, which may reflect corresponding improvements in general health. Unfortunately, no recent data are available. Because muscular power is simple and easy to measure using jumping tests, we encourage researchers and teachers to monitor kids' health through the routine assessment of jumping ability.
Trevor Dufner

Joe Derouchey
How hard is it to pick the next Usain Bolt, Ian Thorpe or Anna Meares? Finding a world
champion often falls to talent scouts and involves years of hard work, but could it
be as simple as a 35-second body scan? Congratulations to former UND Kinesiology
Graduate Student Joe D. Derouchey.
Faith Dooley
Congratulations to a former UND Kinesiology Student and volleyball/basketball standout, Ms. Faith Dooley, on publication of her first peer-reviewed journal article in Sports Medicine.
