SUPLogix Research Combines Science & SUP

NEWARK, New Jersey - Meet Shannon MacDowell and Carey Bond, a pair of highly intelligent paddlers who've put their heads together and started something very cool. In 2013 they founded SUPlogix, an initiative that "was created to contribute to the progression of stand up paddle boarding through scientific study, instruction, product design, community outreach and promotion of the health and fitness benefits of the sport." One of their most interesting projects is the first electromyography study of stand up paddle boarding - tracking the electrical activity generated when muscles contract - while paddling. This is being conducted in conjunction with BTS Bioengineering and Rutgers University, where Shannon got her BFA.
