In 2002, the International Olympic Committee awarded its IOC Prize in Sport Sciences to Dr. Bengt Saltin During a long and productive research
Career, Dr. Saltin has published more than 436 studies that have broadly expanded our understanding of exercise physiology. More specifically, Dr. Saltin's work has improved our appreciation of training induced changes in VO2 max and the regulation of fuel utilization in skeletal muscle during exercise. Moreover, he performed classic bed rest studies s his revealing the important physiological changes that occur following pro the longed periods of inactivity. You will note that many of Dr. Saltin's studies are cited throughout this book as pic a testament to the importance of his e in research discoveries.
