SCOTT CONGER

Assistant Professor
Department of Kinesiology
Boise State University
United States of America

Professor Physicaltherapy and Rehabilitation
Biography

Scott A. Conger joined the faculty at Boise State University in 2013.  Prior to arriving at Boise State, he was an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee.  He also worked for six years as a laboratory manager at laboratories within the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and the University of Michigan Medical School.  These positions allowed him to work with a variety of research populations including adults with spinal cord injuries, Naval Special Warfare personnel, recreational and elite athletes, and older adults with chronic diseases such as CVD, diabetes, cancer, and chronic renal failure.

Research Intrest

Conger’s primary research interest is in the application of objective methods to assess physical activity using varies types of physical activity monitors.  His research has been published in eight different journals including British Journal of Sports Medicine and Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
