Xavier Thompson

 

Dr. Xavier Thompson obtained his bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training at the Ohio State ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø and a post-professional master’s in Athletic Training while working as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at the ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø of Kentucky. He worked as a clinical research coordinator before completing his doctoral studies at the ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø of Virginia.

Dr. Thompson’s research focuses on the identification of risk factors for athletic injuries and improving athletic performance. He is interested in how biomechanics, motor performance, and other performance indicators can be modified in order to reduce injury risk in a variety of physically active populations.
