Faculty Research Activity
Research Description:
Dr. Bergeron's research interests include
exercise and youth sports and health, with an emphasis on the effects of
exercise in the heat on fluid and mineral balance, as well as thermal and
cardiovascular strain. Dr. Bergeron is a Fellow and Trustee of the American
College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and Chair of the College's Environmental
Physiology Special Interest Group. He is also chair of the ACSM Strategic
Health Initiative - Youth Sports and Health Committee and is a member of the
American Academy of Pediatrics Executive Committee for the Council on Sports
Medicine and Fitness. Dr. Bergeron is an Editorial Board member of the
International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism and
Journal of Athletic Training.
Current Investigations:
•
Physiological strain and perceptual differences during repeated-bout
exercise in young athletes.
