Notable publications

In 2012, Enoka co-authored a review on the motor unit with C.J. Heckman. This work represents a major contribution as the work was published in Comprehensive Physiology, which is the most authoritative collection of review content ever assembled in the physiological sciences.[5]

To appear in publication in 2013, Enoka co-authored a chapter in the 5th edition of Principles of Neural Science along with Pearson KG. The chapter is titled "The motor unit and muscle action."

Invited lectures and awards

In May 2010, Enoka was inducted into the University of Otago, School of Physical Education Wall of Fame.[6]

In July 2011, Enoka gave the Muybridge Keynote Lecture at the International Society of Biomechanics Meeting, held in Brussels, Belgium.[7]

On Nov 1, 2012, Enoka delivered a keynote lecture titled "Adaptations in physical performance from childhood to senescence" at the 4th International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health in Sydney, Australia.[8]
