About the Authors
SHARON A. PLOWMAN earned her PhD at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign under the tutelage of Dr. T. K. Cureton Jr. She is a professor emeritus from the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education at Northern Illinois University. Dr. Plowman taught for 36 years, including classes in exercise physiology, stress testing, and exercise bioenergetics. She has published over 75 scientific research articles in exercise physiology and applied articles on physical fitness with emphasis on accurate and appropriate test items, females and children in such journals as ACSMs Health & Fitness Journal , Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism , Human Biology , Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise , Pediatric Exercise Science , and Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport . She is a coauthor of the Dictionary of the Sport and Exercise Sciences (M. H. Anshel, ed., 1991), has published several chapters in other books, and is coeditor of the 2013 FitnessGram Reference Guide.
Dr. Plowman is a Fellow Emeritus of the American College of Sports Medicine and served on the Board of Trustees of that organization from 1980 to 1983. In 1992, she was elected as an Active Fellow by the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education (National Academy of Kinesiology). She serves on the Advisory Council for FitnessGram , the assessment tool for the Presidential Youth Fitness Program. The American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) (now the Society of Health and Physical Educators [SHAPE]) recognized her with the Mabel Lee Award in 1976 and the Physical Fitness Council Award in 1994. Dr. Plowman received the Excellence in Teaching Award (at Northern Illinois University at the department level in 1974 and 1975 and at the university level in 1975) and the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign in 1996. In 2006, the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports presented her with their Honor Award in recognition of her contributions to the advancement and promotion of the science of physical activity.
DENISE L. SMITH is a Professor of Exercise Science and recipient of the Class of 1961 Chair at Skidmore College. She also serves as the Director of the First Responder Health and Safety Research Laboratory. With a PhD in kinesiology and specialization in exercise physiology from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, Dr. Smith has taught for over 25 years, including classes in anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, clinical aspects of cardiovascular health, cardiorespiratory aspects of human performance, neuromuscular aspects of human performance, and research design. Her research is focused on the cardiovascular strain associated with heat stress, particularly as it relates to cardiac, vascular, and coagulatory responses to firefighting. Dr. Smith has received more than $10 million in research funding and has published over 70 peer-reviewed articles in such journals as American Journal of Cardiology , Cardiology in Review , Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise , Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews , Vascular Medicine , Ergonomics , European Journal of Applied Physiology , Journal of Applied Physiology , and Occupational Medicine . She is also a coauthor of Advanced Cardiovascular Exercise Physiology, an upper-level text that is part of the Advanced Exercise Physiology series.
