Clay Peterson serves as an Associate Professor of Instruction in the Department of Health and Human Physiology within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Iowa, where he teaches core courses in human physiology and biomechanics across undergraduate and graduate programs.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Integrative Physiology with an emphasis in Motor Control from the University of Iowa
- Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association
- Certified Exercise Physiologist (CEP) by the American College of Sports Medicine
Dr. Peterson's research centers on human function and movement systems, with specific expertise in biomechanics and clinical exercise physiology. His work integrates physiological assessment with practical applications for athletic performance and health promotion, emphasizing evidence-based exercise prescription methodologies. He actively explores how movement mechanics influence metabolic responses during physical activity.
He teaches foundational courses including Human Physiology (HHP:1300, HHP:1400, HHP:3500), Biomechanics of Sport and Physical Activity (HHP:2350), and Metabolic Exercise Testing and Prescriptions (HHP:4200), focusing on translating theoretical concepts into real-world health and sports contexts.
