Background

About Chad Dolan

I am currently a visiting instructor in the Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion at Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton, FL.). I am also studying Dietetics and Nutrition at the Florida International University (Miami, FL). My current research aim is to identify mediators of marketing campaigns then apply them to nutrition education. I earned a B.S. and M.S. in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from Florida Atlantic University (2010-2015, Boca Raton, FL.). I completed projects in the FAU Skeletal Muscle Physiology Lab. My research specialization was comparing various training programs to try and optimize performance. I also studied powerlifting performance, the exclusivity of repetition ranges on muscle performance and the use of an effort scale (rating of perceived exertion scale based on repetitions in reserve) in performance testing and exercise training. My involvement included: project development, research study design, ethics board approval, human subject recruitment, data collection, data entry and handling, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and conference proceedings. During my time at FAU I was the president of the Strength and Power Sports Club, a group fitness instructor, and Staff Supervisor at the Campus Recreation and Fitness Center. I also completed a 400+ hour internship as a strength coach with the 21 teams at FAU. I began coaching and training the FAU powerlifting team while also competing. I passed the USAPL State level referee exam, while also conducting over hours of max strength testing in a research lab. In 2014 I began consulting as a strength and conditioning coach and sports nutritionist remotely through Myogenic Training Systems LLC, while also working with other companies such as Shredded by Science, De Novo Nutrition, Reactive Training Systems, BioLayne, and The Strength Guys. I have also been a fitness industry seminar presenter, writer, content creator, and podcast guest.
