He is a past member of the ACSM International Certification Subcommittee. His research focus is body composition assessment, sport performance, and cardiovascular/ metabolic/perceptual responses to exercise. Dr. Utter has over 80 research publications in peer-reviewed journals such as Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, European Journal of Applied Physiology, Sports Medicine, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition as well as numerous presentations at regional, national, and international meetings. He also serves as an Associate Editor for ACSM’s Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise and the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. He also has over five years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation.
