Professional Summary
Troy Blackburn, PhD, ATC
Troy Blackburn joined the Department of Exercise and Sport
Science as an assistant professor in the fall of 2006. He
currently serves as the director of the Motor Control
Laboratory, and teaches courses in Research in Exercise and
Sport Science (EXSS 273) and Neuromuscular Control and Learning
(EXSS 380).
Dr. Blackburn received a B.A. in Exercise and Sport Science
(Athletic Training Concentration) from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill (1998), a M.S. in Sports Medicine from
the University of Pittsburgh (2000), and a Ph.D. in Human
Movement Science (Biomechanics Concentration) from the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2004).Troy’s
primary research interests lie in neural and biomechanical
contributions to joint stability. His current focus is on the
influences of series elastic musculotendinous stiffness on
mechanical joint stability and neuromechanical function. These
efforts are designed to evaluate the influence that lesser
hamstring stiffness in females (compared to their male
counterparts) has on the higher incidence of anterior cruciate
ligament injury noted in females.
