Roger M. Enoka, PhD, is a professor in the department of integrative physiology at the University of Colorado–Boulder and a professor in the departments of medicine (geriatrics) and neurology at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Center. He is also the director of the Neurophysiology of Movement Lab. He was previously a biomechanist in the department of biomedical engineering at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and a professor in the department of physiology at the University of Arizona. Enoka has spent 50 years focusing his research and teaching on the combination of biomechanics and neurophysiology of movement. Internationally known for his achievements as a teacher and researcher, Enoka is the author of approximately 350 journal articles, books, chapters, reviews, and abstracts, including the frequently cited article “Neurobiology of Muscle Fatigue” published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. He is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including an honorary doctorate (honoris causa) from the Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium (2023); the Borelli Award from the American Society of Biomechanics (2018); and the Basmajian Award from the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (2018). He is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine, American Physiological Society, and International Society of Biomechanics. He is also a past president and current member of the American Society of Biomechanics.
