Dr. Kilgore endeavors to provide evidence based teachings in anatomy, physiology, applications in biological adaptation, and practical  physical assessment, to students from a variety of majors who wish to become physical therapists, exercise clinicians, coaches, personal trainers, and researchers. Of particular interest is a concerted effort to restructure teaching and training of human movement seen in classrooms, clinics, and gyms across the USA away from the conventional isolationist approach towards a more science based, unified systems, and utilitarian approach.

Contact

If you have a question for me and you are not local, just e-mail me (or here), I try very hard to respond to every one of the hundred or so e-mails I get each day.  If you are posing a question needing a long response, it may take a bit of time to get your response.  I'm notoriously difficult to get on the phone since my work days are split between classrooms, laboratorys (teaching and research), weightrooms, meetings, my drawing studio, my writing garrett, the library, and more. I do have about 10 hours per week of  "office hours". This time is set aside specifically to personally meet with anyone  who shows up at my office door to discuss class materials, science, sport theory, academic advising or pretty much any topic of interest to the visitor.
