By education and professional history, I am a Kinesiologist with over 30 years of experience in gyms and athletic training centers. My mission is to successfully bridge the gap between resistance training, sports performance, and healthcare.

I hold a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Texas at Austin and an MS in Exercise Science from Florida State University. My career started in boxing and sparked my earliest interest in timing and muscle performance that later served as the idea for the book Timing Resistance Training: Programming the Muscle Clock for Optimal Performance (Human Kinetics, 2020) published in English, French, German, Chinese, and Spanish.

I’ve spent over 30 years in gyms, and have worked with professional boxers in Texas, Mexico, and Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ve also tried to balance that with academics, serving on the faculty at Florida State University, College of Southern Nevada, and the American Military University.

Honored to be a part of the resistance training movement, it has been a wonderful life in the gyms, training centers, and classrooms. Blessed to live in fabulous Las Vegas, I live with my son, Aiden, Jimbug, a Chihuahua mix and our cat, Minnie.

Dedicated to helping people understand and utilize resistance training research, I am here to help you and would love to hear from you. Please contact me by email at amyashmore@physicaltherapy.education.
