Featured experts
SCOTT K. POWERS
Renowned for his extensive research in exercise physiology, particularly in oxidative stress and muscle function. Author of the book: Exercise Physiology, Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance by McGraw Hill publisher. Check out his biography here.
LI LI JI
Professor Li Li Ji is a leading expert in muscle physiology, specializing in biochemical and molecular exercise physiology, nutrition, and aging. His work focuses on the balance of free radicals and antioxidants and their impact on health. Check out his biography here.
DAVID HOOD
Professor at York University and Director of the Muscle Health Research Centre. His research delves into mitochondrial adaptations and the role of exercise in muscle health. He is one of the most well-known scientists in mitochondrial-related research. Check out his biography here.
ZSOLT RADAK
Professor at the Hungarian University of Sport Science. He is known for his research on oxidative stress, hormesis, DNA-methylation-associated aging, and the molecular mechanisms of systemic exercise-induced adaptation. Check out his biography here.
