Research

Unlike most coaches in elite sport, Dr. Skiba maintains a world-leading program of research into the determinants of athletic performance. His work regularly appears in some of the best academic journals in the fields of sports medicine and physiology. The science found in these publications give PhysFarm athletes an

Below, you can find links to some of Dr. Skiba’s most recent publications. We extend special thanks to the many athletes who sacrifice their time and energy to participate in these studies.
