Glossary
Index
Scott K. Powers is a Distinguished Professor and the UAA Endowed
professor in the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology
at the University of Florida. Powers enjoys teaching and has earned
three University of Florida teaching awards. Dr. Powers research
has focused on exercise-mediated changes in cardiac and skeletal
muscle antioxidant systems and the role that these changes play in
providing protection against oxidant injury. Further, he is
actively investigating the mechanisms responsible for respiratory
muscle weakness in patients subjected to prolonged periods of
mechanical ventilation. Dr. Powers laboratory work has been funded
by grants totaling more than five million dollars from the National
Institutes of Health, American Heart Association, American Lung
Association, and the Florida Biomedical Research Program. This
research has resulted in over 180 peer-reviewed research
publications. Scott has also co-authored four college textbooks for
use in exercise physiology and fitness courses. Powers is active in
both the American Physiological Society and the American College of
Sports Medicine. He also serves as an Associate Editor for the
American Journal of Physiology-Reg. and is a member of the
editorial board for the Journal of Applied Physiology, the
International Journal of Sports Medicine, and the International
Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. Scott Powers
received his bachelors degree in physical education from Carson
Newman College, his masters degree in exercise physiology from the
University of Georgia, and a doctorate (EdD) in exercise physiology
from the University of Tennessee. Powers earned a second doctoral
degree (PhD) in physiology from Louisiana State University.
Edward Howley received his BS degree from Manhattan College and his
MS and PhD degrees from The University of Wisconsin, Madison. He
completed a one-year post-doctoral appointment at Penn State
University and began his career at the University of Tennessee in
1970. He taught a variety of courses in physiology, exercise
physiology and fitness testing and prescription over 36 years. He
also served as an administrator of the Exercise Science
program/department. He retired in 2007 and holds the rank of
professor emeritus. He has received several awards for his
teaching. Most of Dr. Howleys volunteer efforts have been with the
American College of Sports Medicine, where he served as president
from 20022003. He is the Editor-in-Chief of ACSMs Health & Fitness
Journal, and is chair of the program planning committee for the
annual ACSM Health & Fitness Summit meeting.
John Quindry is a Professor, Chair, and International Heart
Institute Research Fellow at the University of Montana, Missoula
MT. Quindry has an educational background in exercise physiology
(BS, MS at Illinois State University) and a PhD in Biomedical
Sciences (emphasis: Physiology) from the Quillen College of
Medicine as East Tennessee State University. Quindry also completed
an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship in Exercise Biochemistry and
Cardioprotection at the University of Florida under Scott Powers
mentorship. Quindrys teaching emphasis calls upon his experience as
a clinical exercise physiologist, in addition to animal- and
human-based research in the area of cardiovascular health and the
prevention of chronic diseases. Quindrys Cardio protection research
laboratory at the University of Montana has been funded by a host
of federal grants in addition to foundations focused on the
treatment and prevention of life threatening diseases. Quindry, his
student trainees, and collaborators have produced over 100 original
science research papers and review publications. John has served as
an Associate Editor for Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise
since 2013 and remains very active in the American College of
Sports Medicine and the American Physiological Society. Quindry has
a passion for teaching clinical and exercise physiology to budding
health/fitness/wellness professionals in addition to future
professionals in the areas of health and allied health.
