Sukho Lee
Biography
Dr. Sukho Lee is a professor in the Department of Counseling, Health, and Kinesiology at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. He received his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from The University of Texas at Austin in 2002, and holds both a B.S. and an M.S. from Seoul National University. Prior to his appointment at Texas A&M University-San Antonio in August 2013, Dr. Lee served as an associate professor at Texas A&M International University for a decade and was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.
Dr. Lee instructs both undergraduate and graduate courses in Exercise Science. His research focuses on the effects of supplementation on exercise performance, as well as prevention and treatment strategies for diabetes and obesity through exercise and dietary interventions. Additionally, he explores the mechanisms of skeletal muscle plasticity through various interventions, including resistance training, hind limb suspension, casting models, and traditional medicine practices.
Dr. Lee is a founding member of the Korea United States Applied Physiological Society (KUSAPS) and Asian Kinesiology Society (AKA). He holds positions as an editorial board member for multiple peer-reviewed journals, including the International Journal of Exercise Science, Physical Activity and Nutrition, International Journal of Applied Sports Sciences, Frontier in Physiology, Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Physical Activity, and Journal of Lifestyle Medicine.
