Faculty and Staff Profiles

Dr. Weiss received his doctorate in 1979 from the University of Georgia. His dissertation addressed sex differences in acute endogenous anabolic-androgenic steroid hormone responses to heavy-resistance lifting.  Since that time, he has pursued parallel paths of research involving the examination of gross structural and functional characteristics associated with assorted heavy-resistance exercises/interventions. While at Georgia Southern College (University), the local hospital provided him with the opportunity to develop procedures using diagnostic ultrasound to obtain images of extremity skeletal muscle and subcutaneous fat and measure their respective thicknesses. Concurrently at the Georgia Southern campus, he focused on examining muscle-mechanical performance changes consequent to various heavy-resistance training interventions. After seven years, he moved to Memphis, TN and Memphis State University (University of Memphis). There he worked to develop a functional and cost-effective water displacement tank as an alternative approach to hydrostatic weighing for assessing total body composition. Although the prototype worked exceedingly well for inanimate objects, that was not the case for live human beings, so the endeavor was eventually abandoned. Parallel to this venture, he continued to develop testing protocols with emerging technology for assessing various strength parameters. He was especially interested in determining how best to enhance jumping ability since it is an integral aspect of many activities. Two major issues related to assessment/training tools were that typical strength tests were performed at slow velocities and/or utilized isolated single-joint lifts. Although he had worked at Georgia Southern with a single-joint isokinetic dynamometer that enabled him to more nearly emulate the relatively-fast movements occurring during jumping, he felt that aggregate muscle/joint actions might be more relevant to both jumping and other real-life applications. Fortunately, while at the University of Memphis, he gained access to a new tool that allowed him to perform velocity-spectrum isokinetic tests for multiple-joint resistance exercises. Since this equipment had not been in widespread use, he worked to develop new multiple-joint isokinetic testing protocols that were relevant to his specific research questions. He used this technology and the measurement protocols developed to investigate the effects of various training programs on both vertical jumping performance and predictors of it in young men and women.  Since isokinetic (constant-velocity) joint actions are uncharacteristic of jumping and more technological innovations were emerging, he moved on to addressing these same issues using alternative technology that allows acceleration and/or deceleration to be monitored. Using such technology, investigators may manipulate loads (load-spectrum testing) while kinematic (velocity, acceleration, displacement), kinetic (mechanical power, force), and related factors may be directly measured or calculated via inverse dynamics. These approaches further enhance the emulation of natural movement patterns during testing. To date, he has been able to only partially explain jumping performance, and so has expanded his search for explanatory variables by examining structural measures such as various foot moment arms, lower-limb segment lengths and pelvic width, static and dynamic Q-angle, and body composition to see if they can explain more. Any relevant untrainable variables will likely be useful for talent identification. Professor Weiss founded and directs the Human Performance Laboratories. He directed one of its constituents, the Musculoskeletal Analysis Laboratory, from 1986-2019.  In the College of Health Sciences, he also serves as the Director of Academic Programs, Director of Graduate Programs, Director of Undergraduate Programs, Coordinator for the M.S. program in Exercise Nutrition, and until fall 2023 was Coordinator for undergraduate and graduate programs in Exercise, Sport and Movement Sciences.
