[1] Finni completed her MSc in biomechanics in 1997, and PhD in 2001 under the supervision of Paavo Komi at the University of Jyväskylä, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Finland.
[3] She has also investigated the behavior of the quadriceps femoris and triceps surae muscle groups during different jumping exercises and isokinetic (constant velocity) knee and ankle extensions, providing insights into muscle-tendon unit power production.
[11] Compared to accelerometry that is typically used to assess physical activity levels via sensed impacts, electromyography has the advantage of recording the signals that can initiate the movement.
[14][15] Physical activity research is intertwined with neuromuscular function in Finni's EXECP-project which was an exercise intervention for children and young adults with cerebral palsy.
[16] By using a multicomponent exercise intervention, participants increased strength, flexibility, and motor coordination which were transferred to significant functional gains.
