Keith Leiting

Keith Leiting serves as Associate Professor of Health, Exercise and Sport Science at Lenoir-Rhyne University since 2015, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in sport and human performance including biomechanics, athlete monitoring, strength and conditioning, and personal health for non-exercise science majors.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Sport Physiology and Performance from East Tennessee State University
• M.A. in Exercise Physiology from East Tennessee State University
• B.S. in Kinesiology from Western Illinois University

Research focuses on kinetics of sport and human performance with specialized emphasis on rates of force development and impulse generation. His methodological approach integrates biomechanical analysis with practical athlete monitoring systems to optimize strength and conditioning protocols across diverse athletic populations.
