Associate Editors

Dr. George Brooks

Dr. Brooks is Acting Chair of the Department of Human Biodynamics and Director of the University of California, Berkeley Exercise Physiology Laboratory. For the last six years Dr. Brooks has been associate editor of MEDICINE AND SCIENCE IN SPORTS AND EXERCISE, and in July became associate editor of the JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY.

Dr. Brooks is the recipient of the Citation Award from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Recognition Award from the South-West Regional Chapter, ACSM; and was Elected Fellow of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education in 1994.

To support his research efforts, Dr. Brooks has two active grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). His work has resulted in more than 150 publications and four books. His fields of research interest include: acute and chronic cellular and metabolic adaptations to exercise; lactate metabolism during exercise and recovery; metabolic bases of the "oxygen debt"; metabolic regulation; glucose and glycogen metabolism during exercise; mitochondrial biogenesis; exercise energetics; amino acid metabolism; tracer methodology; adaptation to high altitude; and evaluation of human performance. Recognition in his field regularly results in speaking engagements across the US and around the world. In the recent past Dr. Brooks has been invited to speak in Canada, France, England, Scotland, Argentina, Spain, Australia, Italy and Korea.

Dr. Brooks received his B.S. from Queens College, CUNY and his M.S. and Ph.D. in exercise physiology from University of Michigan. He did his postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin in muscle biology.

Dr. Jerome Dempsey

Jerome A. Dempsey, PhD, was born and raised in London, ON, Canada and received his BS and MS degrees at the University of Western Ontario and the University of Alberta. He came to the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1963 to pursue his PhD under the mentorship of Drs. John Rankin and Bruno Balke and became an Assistant Professor of Preventative Medicine in 1968. Dr. Dempsey serves as principal investigator of NIH-supported training grants and a Specialized Center of Research in Sleep Apnea.

Dr. Dempsey has trained 38 post-doctoral fellows and doctoral students and also teaches in the undergraduate Bio-Core program, the Graduate Kinesiology Program, and in the first and second year physiology program for medical students. His trainees and colleagues in cooperation with Dr. Dempsey have produced research which defined the regulation of brain cerebrospinal fluid acid-base balance and its role in the control of breathing; discovered mechanisms of a chemical and mechanical nature which contributed significantly to the regulation of breathing and breathing instability in sleep and during exercise in humans; and defined the role of the pulmonary system as a limiting factor to human exercise performance.

Current research with a team of epidemiologists, physicians and physiologists is concerned with the causes and consequences of sleep apnea - a disease which the University of Wisconsin team has shown to affect a significant portion of the undiagnosed working population.

Honors accorded to Dr. Dempsey include NIH-Career Development, Senior Fellowship and MERIT awards, Excellence in Teaching at the University of Wisconsin, Citation Award by the American College of Sports Medicine, an Honorary DSc from Waterloo University, Canada, and Dane Co. United Way Volunteer of the Year.

Professor Dempsey considers his most important assets to be his trainees and his many faculty colleagues at UW-Madison who together provide an exciting collaborative atmosphere in which learning and creativity are allowed to thrive.
