Kevin Ballard, associate professor of kinesiology, nutrition, and health at Miami University, will lead a new $422,894 research grant funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Faculty colleagues Kyle Timmerman, associate professor and interim department chair, and Paul Reidy, assistant professor, will join Ballard on the project, which examines how cardiorespiratory fitness and adiposity affect recovery of glucose and vascular function following periods of physical inactivity. Reidy played a key role in shaping the proposal.
