David Gabriel, professor of Physical Education and Kinesiology, has published a new book.

Gabriel has co-authored Essentials of Electromyography with Gary Kamen. The book is published by Human Kinetics.

Gabriel teaches fourth-year Biomechanics and is researching the biomechanical and physiological significance of the surface electromyographic signal.

Gabriel was also profiled in the recent issue of Health, Wellness and Safety magazine. In the article, he discusses his transition from body builder to long-distance runner. (“Early on, during the winter, I’d spend more time getting dressed to go outside than on the actual run itself,” he said.) He also discusses his habit of flashing peace signs at passing vehicles as he’s running.
