John C. Garner, PhD, CSCS*D, currently serves as the dean of the College of Health and Human Services and a professor of exercise science within the department of kinesiology and health promotion at Troy University. Dr. Garner has written over 250 peer-reviewed research publications, conference proceedings, and presentations, with nearly $2 million in research funding. His research focuses on the biomechanics of human movement in work and sport settings. He holds a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction (CSCS*D) designation from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. He earned his PhD in biomechanics from Auburn University in 2008. Charles R. Allen, PhD, CSCS*D, TSAC-F, USAW-L1, is an assistant professor in the exercise science program at Florida Southern College. Previously, Dr. Allen served as a fitness professional in the collegiate recreational setting. His research interests center around improving human performance in sport, exercise, and activities of daily living. Allen has written 45 peer-reviewed research publications, conference proceedings, and presentations. He holds the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) designations from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Dr. Allen earned his PhD in kinesiology from the University of Mississippi in 2015. Harish Chander, PhD, is an associate professor of biomechanics and the codirector of the Neuromechanics Laboratory in the department of kinesiology at Mississippi State University, where he teaches and conducts research in biomechanics and neuromechanics. He also serves as the chair for the academic culture committee in the department of kinesiology and as a member of the faculty council in the College of Education. Dr. Chander has written over 237 peer-reviewed research publications, conference proceedings, and presentations. His research centers on the application of principles of biomechanics and neuromechanics to human performance, injury prevention, and safety promotion. He earned his PhD in biomechanics and neuromechanics from the University of Mississippi in 2014. Adam C. Knight, PhD, ATC, CSCS, is a professor of biomechanics and the codirector of the Neuromechanics Laboratory in the department of kinesiology at Mississippi State University, where he also serves as the graduate program coordinator for the department. He has written over 150 peer-reviewed research publications, conference proceedings, and presentations. His research interests include sport biomechanics and the biomechanical implication of chronic ankle instability (CAI). Dr. Knight is a BOC-certified athletic trainer and a member of the National Athletic Trainers' Association and the American Society of Biomechanics. He holds the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) designation from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Knight earned his PhD in biomechanics from Auburn University in 2009.
