Profile
Dr. Coyle investigates the physiological factors that limit human physical performance. To better understand the limits to prolonged endurance exercise, he has developed a model of the interactions of the cardiovascular, muscular and nervous systems. Dr. Coyle and his graduate students have described how cardiac stroke volume is impaired during intense exercise as well as during prolonged exercise that results in dehydration and hyperthermia. The Human Performance Laboratory has a long history of studying carbohydrate and fat metabolism during exercise. Recent studies have determined the effects of exercise intensity and diet on attenuating the increase in plasma triglyceride concentration after a high fat meal. Dr. Coyle has published over 170 research and review articles. Dr. Coyle coordinates the graduate program in Sports Science & Nutrition and a number of these masters students advise the intercollegiate athletic teams at UT.

Research Interests and Expertise
Dr. Coyle has been investigating the physiological factors which limit human endurance performance. In addition to studying carbohydrate metabolism during exercise, he is attempting to determine the factors limiting fat mobilization and oxidation. Recent studies have been conducted to determine the influence of dehydration and fluid replacement on cardiovascular function and muscle metabolism during exercise. Dr. Coyle coordinates the graduate program in Sports Science & Nutrition.
