Dr. Reece Scott is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Alabama. He received his doctorate in sport and exercise science with a specialization in skeletal physiology from Nottingham Trent University, U.K., in 2025. Dr. Scott completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, researching musculoskeletal adaptation and advanced imaging techniques in older adults and spaceflight. His research interests are focused on human performance in elite athletes and health settings, with a specific focus in monitoring load to assist support staff with objective data. In addition to academia, Dr. Scott has worked with professional soccer, cricket, rugby and Olympic athletes. His teaching philosophy is research-driven and believes the practical application of any concept is key in the field of exercise science.
