and his master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees from the University of Texas at Austin in 1996

Science programs. His teaching experiences and responsibilities are varied but primarily
focus on sport and exercise psychology, exercise testing and prescription, and research
methods.
Dr. Kilpatrick鈥檚 research interests center on the psychological and physiological
aspects of aerobic exercise. Specifically, he studies the impact of aerobic exercise
on perceptual responses such as exertion, affect, and enjoyment. Collaborations with
colleagues in USF Health include projects within special populations including cancer
survivors and patients with neurological disorders. A recent area of emphasis investigates
the impact of faith-based interventions on exercise and dietary behavior.
