G. Gregory Haff, PhD, CSCS,*D, FNSCA, is a full professor and the course coordinator for the postgraduate degree in strength and conditioning at Edith Cowan University in Joondalup, Australia. Haff has published more than 150 articles, centering his research on performance effects in the areas of strength training, cycling, and nutritional supplementation.

Haff is a past president of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and a senior associate editor for the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. He was the United Kingdom Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year for Education and Research and the 2011 NSCA William J. Kraemer Outstanding Sport Scientist Award winner. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist with distinction (CSCS,*D), a UKSCA-accredited strength and conditioning coach (ASCC), and an accredited Australian Strength and Conditioning Association level 2 strength and conditioning coach.

Additionally, Haff is a national-level weightlifting coach in the United States and Australia. He serves as a consultant for numerous sporting bodies, including teams in the Australian Football League, Australian Rugby Union, Australian Basketball Association, and National Football League.

Charles Dumke, PhD, is a full professor and graduate program coordinator in the School of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training at the University of Montana. He has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in exercise physiology and sport nutrition for over 20 years. He earned his doctoral degree in kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His areas of interest in exercise science are energy expenditure, fuel utilization, economy of movement, mechanisms of mitochondrial adaptation, and diabetes. He has published more than 120 peer-reviewed articles.

In his free time, Dumke enjoys competing in triathlons, biking, running, taking on building projects with little know-how, and coaching his son in all sorts of sports.

Jeffrey M. Janot, PhD, ACSM CEP, is a professor and the chair of the department of kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. He primarily teaches in the rehabilitation science program, focusing on exercise physiology, fitness assessment and exercise prescription for healthy and clinical populations, and electrocardiography.

Janot received his PhD in health, physical education, and recreation, with a focus on exercise physiology, from the University of New Mexico. His research interests include sports physiology in hockey and baseball, applied cardiovascular physiology, and enhancing functional abilities of younger and older adults and those with chronic disease.

Janot holds certifications as an ACSM Clinical Exercise Physiologist and USA Hockey Level 5 Master Coach. Additionally, Janot has coached hockey at the youth level and currently coaches baseball at Eau Claire Memorial High School. He resides in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with his wife, Jill, and their two children, Ben and Zach.

Nicholas M. Beltz, PhD, ACSM RCEP, is an assistant professor in kinesiology. He currently serves as the director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory and director of the Community Fitness Program at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. His teaching responsibilities are within the rehabilitation science and exercise science programs, specifically courses in laboratory methods, exercise physiology, and community fitness programming.

Beltz received his PhD in physical education, sports, and exercise science, with an emphasis in exercise science, from the University of New Mexico. His research is focused on central cardiovascular responses to concurrent exercise, evaluation of maximal oxygen uptake, and acute and chronic responses to resistance training.

Beltz has coached high school football and currently coaches baseball at Eau Claire Memorial High School. He resides in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with his beautiful wife, Kjirsten, and their amazing daughters, Baylor and Bennett.
