About the Author

J. Larry Durstine, PhD, is a distinguished professor and chair in the department of exercise science at the University of South Carolina at Columbia. He is also codirector of the university's preventive exercise program.

Dr. Durstine has focused his academic and research career on cardiovascular disease prevention and rehabilitation. He has used his years of experience in cardiovascular rehabilitation programming to mentor both professionals and students in cardiovascular disease prevention and rehabilitation.

A coeditor for ACSM's Exercise Management for Persons with Chronic Diseases and Disabilities, Dr. Durstine is a past president of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and a member of the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). He and his wife, Linda, reside in Columbia. In his free time, Durstine enjoys home remodeling projects and woodworking. He also enjoys running, water skiing, and snow skiing.

Geoffrey E. Moore, MD, is a founder and director of the Cayuga Center for Healthy Living, a comprehensive lifestyle medicine service based in Ithaca, New York. As an exercise scientist and sports medicine internist, Dr. Moore has developed both clinical and research expertise in basic and applied physiology, chronic medical diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, physiology of exercise intolerance, and lifestyle modification. He has eight years of experience as medical director of cardiac rehabilitation programs and 14 years of basic and applied research focused on mechanisms of exercise intolerance.

Dr. Moore is a coeditor for ACSM's Exercise Management for Persons With Chronic Diseases and Disabilities, an ACSM fellow, a member of Health and Science Policy Committee, and the vice chair of the Family Health Issues Committee for the Medical Society of the State of New York. He resides in Ithaca and enjoys windsurfing, running, and cross-country skiing in his free time.

Michael J. LaMonte, PhD, is an assistant professor of epidemiology in the department of social and preventive medicine at the University of Buffalo in New York. Previously, Dr. LaMonte served as the director of epidemiologic research at the Cooper Institute in Dallas, Texas, and director of the Exercise Testing Laboratory at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dr. LaMonte's research has focused on the role of physical activity and functional capacity in the prevention and management of chronic diseases with an emphasis on cardiovascular disease. Additional research interests include the use of noninvasive cardiovascular tests such as exercise testing, electron-beam-computed tomography, carotid artery ultrasound, and arterial reactivity for assessing the structural and functional significance of subclinical cardiovascular disease and its subsequent relationship with clinical cardiovascular disease events.

Dr. LaMonte enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, and watching college sports. When outdoors, he enjoys jogging, snowshoeing, gardening, and tennis.

Barry A. Franklin, PhD, is the director of the Cardiac Rehabilitation and Exercise Laboratories at the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. In addition, he serves as a professor of physiology in the School of Medicine at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.

During his more than three decades of clinical experience in cardiac rehabilitation, Dr. Franklin has authored over 500 scientific and clinical publications and book chapters and is the coauthor of Take a Load Off Your Heart with Joe Piscatella (Workman Publishing). He also serves on the editorial boards of 15 scientific and clinical journals, including the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, Preventive Cardiology, Chest, American Journal of Cardiology, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, and the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.
