Interests

Teaching

Dr. Kilgore endeavors to provide evidence based teachings in anatomy, physiology, applications in biological adaptation, and practical  physical assessment, to students from a variety of majors who wish to become physical therapists, exercise clinicians, coaches, personal trainers, and researchers. Of particular interest is a concerted effort to restructure teaching and training of human movement seen in classrooms, clinics, and gyms across the USA away from the conventional isolationist approach towards a more science based, unified systems, and utilitarian approach.

Research

Markers of tissue damage as indicators of chronic over-exertion in exercise training

Exploration of physiological measures that indentify the precise stimulus(i) that induces adaptation in oxygen consumption capacity in the human

Chronic training effects on resting testosterone and cortisol levels and how changes influence human performance

Analysis of and the application of physical law and geometry to anatomical  systems during lifting movements to establish a scientific basis for "safe and effective" exercise technique

The role of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP70 family specifically) in muscular remodelling during hypertrophy, atrophy, and subsequent to  myocardial infarction

Exlorations of the operational paradigm of modern "exercise science" to discern it's theoretical basis

Creation of a functional and measurable definition of fitness
