Hear Dr. Murray speak on “Growing Businesses, New Trends in Exercise Science” today, Thursday, February 16, from 5-6 p.m. in A202/A203 of the Dolan Science Center.

Dr. Murray was the co-founder of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute and its director from 1985 to 2008. Bob’s research on the hydration needs of athletes and the physiological and performance responses to fluid, carbohydrate, and electrolyte ingestion contributed to the broader understanding of the importance of being well hydrated during exercise and of the role that carbohydrates and electrolytes play in helping athletes and nonathletes alike get the most out of their bodies during physical activity.

Prior to his time with Gatorade, Bob served on the faculties of Boise State University (1980-1985; Associate Professor), Ohio State University (1979-1980; Lecturer), and Oswego State University (1974-1977; Assistant Professor and Men’s Swimming & Diving Coach).

Bob received his Ph.D. in exercise physiology from Ohio State University, is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, and an honorary member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
