Lon Kilgore Ph.D.

Teaching
Dr. Kilgore endeavors to provide evidence based teachings in anatomy, physiology, and practical physiological assessment to students from a variety of majors who wish to function as coaches, personal trainers, exercise clinicians, and researchers. Of particular interest is a concerted effort to restructure the approach to teaching weight training in gyms, classrooms, and clinics across the USA.

Research
Dr. Kilgore’s long-term interest has historically been in the area of Heat Shock Proteins and their role in muscular remodeling, heart disease, and infection. An emerging area of interest is the design and execution of a systematic and simple series of analyses of weight training paradigms in order to substantiate or refute the current and frequently challenged authoritative guidelines currently in place. A complimentary area of interest is the over-training syndrome.

Contact
If you have a question for me and you are not local, just e-mail me, 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.
