Michael Reid

I am a professor and dean of the College of Health and Human Performance at the University of Florida. I am also a fellow of the American Physiological Society (FAPS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (FACSM). At present, I serve as consulting editor for Journal of Applied Physiology and sit on the editorial board of Antioxidants & Redox Signaling.

As an investigator, I have published over 120 scientific articles in the fields of biomechanics, motor control, muscle biology, and the mechanisms of fatigue. Our team is primarily recognized for my research on the redox mechanisms that limit performance in chronic disease and extreme environments. At present, we are part of a multisite research project to evaluate professional race car drivers during competition with the goal of improving performance and increasing driver safety.
