Adam Korak

Adam Korak serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science within the Morrison Family College of Health at the University of St. Thomas, where he has taught since Fall 2017. His instruction spans Exercise Science and Biomechanics courses for undergraduate students.

Education:

• PhD in Human Performance (Exercise Science specialization) from Middle Tennessee State University
• MS from University of North Alabama
• BS from University of North Alabama

Research Interests: Dr. Korak investigates muscle activation patterns via electromyography during functional movements, force production dynamics, and joint torques in strength training contexts. His work extends to kinetics, kinematics, maximal oxygen consumption, lactate analysis, creatine supplementation effects, dehydration impacts, and resistance training recovery protocols. He actively integrates contemporary research findings into experiential classroom applications, emphasizing hands-on learning in exercise physiology and biomechanics.

Professional Certification: Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).
