These alumni are university professors, physical therapists, physicians, athletic trainers, public school teachers, school principals and business owners. They conduct biomedical research, perform surgery, educate students, administrate schools and rehabilitate the injured and disabled. The department is one place where Ducks have always gone to learn about hu - man health and physiology. It has grown signi?cantly in the last century?even in the last year! Some 675 students enrolled in anatomy and exercise science courses last year, an increase of more than 25 percent from the year before. Student interest in the curriculum is high. A dynamic and energetic faculty provides state-of-the-art instruction in the classroom, and leadership and vision to the College of Arts and Sciences. Faculty members? enthusiasm springs from their own research expertise and accomplishments. The faculty continues to be awarded numerous research grants from a broad range of sources?from the Department of Defense to the National Institutes of Health. Some 25 percent of undergraduates have an opportunity to conduct research with faculty members, bene?ting from the intellectual and experimental resources that accomplished researchers bring to the labs. Dynamic teaching allows students to be involved at all levels and with many different types of instructional technological equipment. Team-taught courses allow students to learn from the complementary expertise of our faculty in introductory courses such as Exercise as Medicine, and Exercise and Performance. This kind of professional synergy is also spilling over into the larger community. A newly announced department partnership creating the Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute brings a ?teaching hospital? dimension to Eugene?s Sacred Heart Medical Center, as well as a wonderful opportunity for our graduate and undergraduate students. This formal af?liation, involving more than thirty clinicians and health Charles Burden becomes second director of physi - cal education Hugo Bezdek named third director of physical education William Hayward is fourth director of physical education Bertha Stuart becomes ?rst director of women?s phy sical education 19 15 Mabel Cummings is second director of women?s phy si - cal education 19 20 UO establishes the School of Physical Education, the ?rst in the United States. John Bovard named ?rst dean continued on back page W elcom e to I n Vivo ! T his inaugural issue of In Vivo begins what we hope will be an enduring relationship between the Department of Human Physiology and its alumni. The many changes the depart - ment has experienced in recent years have made clear to us the importance of reconnecting with our alumni and establishing and nurturing meaningful associations. In Vivo , or ?in the living,? connotes a focus common to those who study the science of exercise and human move - ment, hence it is the title of this alumni newsletter. In this and future issues of In Vivo we wish to: ? Honor the department?s past ? Acquaint our alumni with current student and faculty successes ? Highlight new and exciting directions, and ? Provide opportunities for alumni to communicate with the department . The department has a rich and distinguished history, which began when Joseph Wetherbee was appointed director of physical education at the University of Oregon in 1894. That program later became the ?rst school of physical education in the United States in 1920. Since then, the department name has changed three times but the department has continued to produce an abundant ?ow of eminent teachers, clinicians and scholars who have made their marks on every continent of the earth (including Antarctica!) . The recent name change from the Department of Exercise and Movement Science to the Department of Human Physiology re?ects an evolution of the discipline worldwide and the current professional directions of our students. While the name has changed, there is no change in the department?s commitment to a historical core of study centered in the science of exercise and human movement that has characterized it for more than a century. We hope that our reasons for this action become clear, as you read further on this page. The Department of Human Physiology in 2004 is a product of the commitment and dedication of those who established this program some 110 years ago and who guided its students in three centuries. You are integral to this heritage and it is our sincerest hope that In Vivo provides a way for you remain engaged in this distinguished legacy. Gary Klug, Department Head Greet ings f rom the D epart ment Head I am happy to welcome you to the ?rst edition of In Vivo . The last decade has been a challenging one for our program. As many of you know, the implementation of Measure 5 in the early ?90s resulted in the closing of our college and the departure of a signi?cant number of our colleagues. These tragic events provided two clear choices to the department. The ?rst was to allow the events to threaten its existence and end the storied history of its commitment to the value of exercise and physical activity. The alternative was to re-create the department in such a way that its mis - sion would carry on and adapt to an ever-changing environment where the require - ments for success and stability had changed dramatically. I know there has been much confusion and uncertainty among many of you with respect to the fate of the program. I am sure that the question, ?what? s hap - pening there anyway?? has come up often in conversations among our alumni. My simple answer to that question comes in the form of this newsletter and the people and events it highlights. My sincere hope is that, after you peruse these pages, you will have taken the ?rst step in being convinced that the department has returned to a position of prominence within the university, one in which you can be proud. We are con?dent that you will see a department dedicated to demonstrating the value of exercise and physical activity that is not only still present on the UO campus, but continuing to ?ourish. Perhaps the biggest news of the department is the change in its name from the Department of Exercise and Movement Science to the Department of Human Physiology. This process took more than two years and was done in response to a decade-long metamorphosis in the department that established the training of students in the pre-health and biomedical sciences as its primary mission. Space does not permit a detailed discussion of the rationale for the change, but it is important that our alumni know with con?dence that, despite the name change, the department maintains a ?rm commitment to its historical core of study centered in the science of exercise and human movement FACULT Y PROFILE: Dr. Paul van Donk elaar P aul van Donkelaar is the ?oldest? new faculty member in the department, having arrived at the University of Oregon in 1997 as an assistant professor. He received tenure last year and is now an associate professor. Van Donkelaar has a background in physical education in which he received bachelor?s and master?s degrees from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He then went on to a Ph.D. in clinical neurosciences at the University of Calgary. This was followed by two post-doc stints in Europe?one in Marseille, France, and another in Oxford, England. Throughout his academic career, van Donkelaar has had research interests in a variety of topics broadly related to motor control. This has included examining de? cits in a number of different patient populations with neurological de? cits that affect the control of movement?including cerebellar damage, stroke, and Parkinson?s disease. More recently, van Donkelaar has undertaken research projects addressing the motor de? cits in children with cerebral palsy in collaboration with Marjorie Woollacott, and in young adults with concussion in collaboration with Li-Shan Chou and Lou Osternig. These projects are funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively. Van Donkelaar is also a member of the Institute of Neuroscience and has active research collaborations with several faculty members in the Department of Psychology. ?Our department provides a fantastic learning environment at both the undergraduate and graduate levels because of the group of people we have here,? van Donkelaar remarks. When he is not on campus teaching or doing research, he and his family spend a lot of time at their new cabin in the mountains near Willamette Pass. ALUMNUS PROFILE : Dr . Jack H. W ilmore I t is a great pleasure to honor Jack H. Wilmore as a Distinguished Alumnus of the Department of Human Physiology. Wilmore recently completed an illustrious research and teaching career that has placed him clearly among the most in? uential authorities in exercise physiology over the past 30 years. We are sure that many department alumni are aware of Wilmore?s many ac- complishments and recognize the signi? cant impact he has had on our discipline. Wilmore received his Ph.D. in physical education from the University of Oregon in 1966, an event that started him on a path that resulted in numerous contributions to the long-term health and well being of society. Wilmore retired in 2003 as a distinguished professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology at Texas A&M University. From 1985-1997, he was the Margie Gurley Seay Endowed Centennial Professor and chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to that, he served as professor and chair at the University of Arizona, and on the faculties at the University of California, and Ithaca College. Wilmore was president of the American College of Sports Medicine from 1977-79 and chaired the Research Committee of the United States Olympic Committee Sports Medicine Council. Currently, he is a member of the American Physiological Society, as well as a fellow and former president of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Wilmore?s research interests have focused on the prevention and control of obesity and coronary heart disease, on mecha- nisms that alter physiological function with training and detraining, as well as factors limiting the performance of elite athletes. During his celebrated career, Wilmore published more than 300 peer-reviewed research papers, 53 chapters, and 15 books, prodigious numbers by any account. Although retired, he is still active as one of ? ve principal investigators for the NIH-funded HERITAGE Family Study, a large multi-center clinical trial investigating the possible genetic basis for the variability in the re- sponses of physiological measures, and risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes mellitus, to endurance exercise training. In addition to Wilmore?s research activities, he served as a consultant for a number of professional sports teams, the Califor- nia Highway Patrol, the President?s Council on Physical Fitness and Sport, NASA, and the U.S. Air Force. Wilmore remembers that, ?there have been many times during my life that I have looked back at my experiences at the Uni- versity of Oregon and realized how important they were to providing me with a solid basic foundation for my professional career. Close interaction with individual faculty members (Doctors Sigerseth and Clarke, in particular) and fellow graduate students was invaluable. Overall, I could not have been better prepared for the challenges of a career in higher education. A special thanks to the University of Oregon for preparing me to run the good race.? Wilmore is now settling into a less hectic life with his wife Dottie in Saddlebrooke, Arizona. He has three daughters? Wendy, Kristi, and Melissa?and ? ve grandchildren. We salute our Distinguished Alumnus, Jack Wilmore.

The National Student Research Award is a highly competitive award that is bestowed annually by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to one student whose research project is considered to be the most outstanding of the year. The project must be submitted and be accepted for a slide presentation at the national meeting. A ? ve-page paper describing the scope of the research then must be submitted. A committee comprised of fellows of the ACSM reviews all applica- tions. The award provides complimentary registration to the national meeting, travel and hotel accommodations, and an invitation to the awards banquet. Congratulations to Brett on his signi? cant achievement! Depart ment Receives Grant to Create New Hybrid Science Courses T he department recently received $30,000 from the UO Educational Technology Fund to work closely with the Media Services and the Teaching Effectiveness pro- grams to create new methods to offer ?hybrid? courses. These classes, which are a combination of traditional instructor-led discussions/lectures and online teaching, will rely on a new software technology called Virage. This software, which is often used in business environ- ments, allows material such as Powerpoint presentations to be webcast to remote locations in a very powerful and user-friendly way. The ultimate goal is to offer human physiology and anatomy courses, including labs, to students who cannot make it to the campus on a regular basis. In the future, other science courses will be added to the menu. The project is an offshoot of one currently underway that features live broadcasting of four such classes directly from UO classrooms to students in Bend. Rick Troxel is heading the project. Latest News f rom Eye- Hand Lab J eanne Langan, a doctoral degree candidate, was award- ed both the Eugene Evonuk Fellowship and the Betty Foster McCue Scholarship for her doctoral dissertation project investigating the cortical correlates of functional recovery in patients suffering from a stroke. The Eye- Hand Lab also recently received a three-year grant-in-aid for $198,000 from the American Heart Association for the same project. Research from the lab related to the attentional de? cits in concussion was presented at the 7th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion in Vienna, Austria, on June 6?9, 2004. Facult y Receive Grant to Build Environmental Chamber T he Department of Defense has awarded a $250,000 grant to John Halliwill, FACSM, and Christopher Minson, FACSM, who are codirectors of the depart- ment?s Exercise and Environmental Physiology Laboratories. The grant will fund construction of an environmental chamber for the study of human integra- tive physiology. When completed, the twelve-foot square room will be capable of controlling temperature from minus 10 to 50 degrees Celsius, as well as humidity between 10 percent and 95 percent, and simulating altitudes up to 18,000 feet. The new facility also will be important in preparing graduate students for studying environmental stress. Construction of the environmental chamber is expected to begin in late summer. The new facility will signi? cantly enhance the research capabili- ties of the UO Exercise and Environmental Physiology Laboratories. The link to the EEP labs is http://eeplabs. uoregon.edu/. UNDERGR ADUATE STUDENT PROFILE : Amanda Fenton A manda Fenton was one of the top 2004 graduating seniors in the Department of Human Physiol - ogy. Originally from Lake Chelan, Washington, Fenton has had a very stimulating and challenging undergraduate college career while completing the requirements for her major in human physiology and for her minor in Spanish. Her academic performance enabled her to graduate in the UO Honors College which required the completion of an honors thesis. Her thesis, entitled ?The effects of divided attention on gait patterns of college students after a concussion: A longitudinal study ,? examined the residual effects of head injuries over time. In addition to her academic achievements, Fenton served as the student coordinator of the Peer Advising Program. Her professional goal is to become a physician? s assistant following a trip to Ecuador to work in a health care facility . ?One of the reasons I came to Oregon in the ?rst place was the Exercise and Movement Science de - partment,? she says. ?I was very interested in sports medicine and athletic training at the time, and excited about the program here. As I went through the courses, my career goals changed to becoming a physician assistant, and the classes I have taken here have provided a sound and quality foundation for graduate school. The requirements for this major are not only challeng - ing, but they are also stimulating, thought provoking and applicable to everyone. I highly encourage students that are interested in the human body to become involved in this department. They will receive an excellent education, and their understanding of how the body functions will only fuel their interest for the future.? GR ADUATE STUDENT PROFILE : Bret t Wong B rett Wong, M.S., has been a doctoral student in the Department of Human Physiology for four years. Prior to attending the University of Oregon, Wong received his B.S. in exercise physiology from University of California, Davis. He received his M.S. degree from the UO in 2002. Currently , Wong is involved in research in the Human Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory working under Christopher Minson where their research focuses on the neural control of the circulation. Speci?cally, his research focuses on the control of skin blood ?ow during heat stress. Increasing skin blood ?ow and sweating is the primary means by which humans regulate their internal temperature during heat stress. W ong recently received the National Student Research Award from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and presented his work at the National Conference of the ACSM in Indianapolis on June 2, 2004. The highly competitive research award is given to only one student per year . Wong also has been involved in six research projects that have been published in the top journals in his ?eld, including the Journal of Physiol - ogy , the American Journal of Physiology , and the Journal of Applied Physiology . For the past two years, Wong has received the Jan Broekhoff Scholarship for his involvement in research and teaching in the department. In addition to his research, Wong has been an outstanding laboratory instructor and supervisor for undergraduate human physiology students. He helped to restructure the way in which the laboratory courses in human physiology are taught, moving away from the typical laboratory format and integrating collaborative and case-based learning strategies. ?The four years I have spent as a graduate student in the Department of Human Physiology have been extremely rewarding on many fronts,? Wong says. ?In terms of the research experience, working under Dr. Minson has been challenging and fun. As we answer more questions with each research project we also uncover more and more questions. In terms of teaching ex- perience, I feel that I will leave the department with a great deal of experience as an instructor . I owe a lot to both Dr. Klug and Dr. Verscheure in helping me to improve my teaching skills and to become a better instructor. As a whole, I feel I have been provided with great guidance and instruction from all areas within the department. I feel that I will graduate from the depart - ment having had great research and teaching experience.?

Betty McCue, head, graduate studies UO, Peac eHealt h A nn ounce Oregon Heart & Va scular In st it u te T he Department of Human Physiology and Sacred Heart Medical Center recently joined together to form the Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute, a comprehensive program of clinical medicine, research, and education. The institute functions as a hospital- within-a-hospital, with distinct leadership and governance. It builds on Sacred Heart Medical Center?s reputation as one of the nation?s top 100 hospitals for cardiac services. The University of Oregon brings more than eight decades of research and expertise in human physiology to the institute. Faculty in the Department of Human Physiology are investigating factors and interventions that contribute to cardiac and vascular health that span the spectrum from molecular-based research to direct patient care. Collaborations between the UO and Sacred Heart already result in cosponsored medical education and research seminars, student clinical/surgery observations, and physicians in the classrooms. However , the institute will facilitate and expand these opportunities and open the door to many others. Bringing such teaching and basic research from the university to clinical care and practice is an extraordinary opportunity rarely found outside of medical schools. While physicians apply the best-known medical science to the immediate care of patients, researchers advance that knowledge for future treatments. Through the institute, physicians will have access to the latest medical research, and researchers will have the opportunity to conduct joint projects with nationally recognized physicians. This will facilitate student, patient, and public education in new and innovative ways.
