A UCF professor was recently honored for his work and contribution to the science of exercise and sport.
UCF associate professor Jeffrey Stout, coordinator for UCF’s Sport and Exercise Science program, is the recipient of the William J. Kraemer Outstanding Sport Scientist Award, UCF said. The award is given each year by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
NSCA brings together professionals from the sport science, athletic, health and fitness industries to study and encourage proper strength training and conditioning to improve fitness and athletic performance.
Stout received the award during NSCA’s national conference on July 12, which was held in Las Vegas this year.
Stout joined UCF’s College of Education and Human Performance in January 2012, UCF said. He oversees UCF’s Human Performance Lab, where students and researchers study healthy aging, athletic development and nutrition.
