Ashley Herda is an Associate Professor at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus and Director of the Exercise and Human Performance Laboratory. She holds a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from the University of Oklahoma and a B.S. in Exercise Science from Florida Atlantic University. Her research focuses on nutritional supplements, resistance exercise, and aging-related muscle performance, with an emphasis on body composition and gender disparities in sports medicine research.
Education:
- Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion, Florida Atlantic University (2006)
- Master of Science in Exercise Physiology, University of Oklahoma (2008)
- Doctorate of Philosophy in Exercise Physiology, University of Oklahoma (2011)
Research interests include the effects of exercise interventions on aging populations, the role of nutrition in athletic performance, and addressing gender underrepresentation in sports medicine studies. Her publications span peer-reviewed journals like the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research and Journal of Aging Research and Clinical Practice.
Dr. Herda is actively involved with the American College of Sports Medicine and National Strength and Conditioning Association, contributing to committees focused on education, research, and nutrition. She directs two laboratories dedicated to advancing exercise science and human performance.
Her recent work highlights underrepresentation of female athletes in clinical trials and explores short-term resistance training benefits for older adults’ muscle quality.
