Dr. Ken Rundell, Exercise & Sport Science Guest Speaker

Dr. Kenneth Rundell will be giving a talk titled ‘Exercise and Asthma: The good, the bad, and the ugly?’ which is open to the community to attend.  Dr. Rundell was senior physiologist at the USOC Lake Placid where he established the sport science laboratory. During his time at the USOC he worked with many athletes with exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB). Dr. Rundell has done prolific research related to respiratory function, air quality in competitive environments (including ice arenas) and is one of the foremost authorities worldwide on exercise induced asthma and air quality.   Dr. Rundell directed the Respiratory Research and Human Physiology Lab at Marywood University for  8 years and is currently a medical affairs consultant for Pharmaxis where he was instrumental in developing a new asthma challenge test that is now going through review. Exercise induced bronchospasm can cause shortness of breath and decreased endurance in athletes. Correctly diagnosing and treating EIB is important for athletes to perform at their peak ability.
