BIOGRAPHY

Benjamin D. Boudreaux Ph.D., FACSM, is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Exercise Science in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Alabama and an American College of Sports Medicine Fellow. His research area of emphasis lies at the intersection of clinical exercise physiology and physical activity epidemiology with a specific focus examining the association between the 24-Hour Activity Cycle in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease and other health outcomes. Additionally, he has expertise using different consumer wearable devices for validation purposes or as a tool to examine different health behaviors in various populations and settings. Beyond his professional efforts, Dr. Boudreaux advocates for awareness with the Autism and Type 1 Diabetes communities and regularly leads or serves on several committees and initiatives for American College of Sports Medicine. As an avid runner, he can often be seen running throughout Northport, Tuscaloosa, and The University of Alabama’s campus with notable achievements including the Boston and New York City Marathons.
