Edward F. Coyle is director of the Human Performance Laboratory and Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Texas, Austin, and will be the Pease Family Scholar this fall. He is an outstanding exercise physiologist and has worked with Lance Armstrong, winner of 7 straight Tour de France Races, since the early 1990s. His discoveries have helped define the emerging discipline of 'Sports Nutrition' and his model for predicting endurance performance is widely recognized.
