Ian Klein

Ian Klein is an Associate Professor of Instruction in the Department of Biological Sciences at Ohio University's College of Arts and Sciences, where he teaches human anatomy and physiology to pre-health and allied health students. He is actively involved in teaching and research related to exercise physiology, injury prevention, and athletic performance.

• 2015: M.S. in Physiology of Exercise, Ohio University
• 2012: B.S. in Exercise Physiology, Ohio University

His research interests center on exercise physiology, injury prevention, and cross-training, with a focus on how musculoskeletal systems support athletic performance. He is particularly known for his work with the ElliptiGO, blending sport and science to explore alternative training methods. His teaching includes BIOS 1300, BIOS 1310, BIOS 3010, and BIOS 3015, serving both Biological Sciences majors and non-majors such as nursing and public health students.

The single available publication indicates a research trend in comparing physiological responses between elliptical cycling and running, particularly in experienced runners. This reflects a broader interest in sustainable training, injury reduction, and performance optimization using novel exercise modalities.

There are no listed scientific awards at this time.

Ian Klein is deeply engaged in mentoring students both in the classroom and through volunteer coaching with Ohio University's cross country, track & field, and field hockey teams. His educational philosophy emphasizes enabling student success through science and sport, and he integrates real-world athletic experience into his pedagogy. While no formal grants are mentioned, his applied research and community fitness testing suggest active involvement in outreach and experiential learning.

He conducts research related to ElliptiGO training and fitness testing for athletes and community members, which may involve student researchers or collaborative teams, though specific lab names or team structures are not provided in the text.
