FROM THE DEAN

WELCOME TO THE FIRST ISSUE OF MOVEMENTMAGAZINE FROM THE SCHOOL OF KINESIOLOGY.

It is with great pleasure that I write to you in my newrole as Interim Dean o the School. Tis journey o movingrom a department inside the School o Education to anindependent Division o Physical Education to the Divi-sion o Kinesiology and now the School has been a journeymade possible by many aculty, student, administrativeand sta leaders. I would like to personally thank ormer

Dean Beverly Ulrich or her leadership and vision; she hasbeen critical to getting Kinesiology to this point. Althoughthe change to become a school is very recent, we did notbecome the School o Kinesiology because o one momentin time; rather we became a school through the collectiveeorts o many people over a number o years.

Many have asked how this came to be, so today I wouldlike to share some o the story. From the initial meetingo the Kinesiology Dean Search Advisory Committee, apersistent question had been, Why is Kinesiology a divi-sion rather than a school? Tis question was rst asked bymembers o the committee rom outside o Kinesiology,

but all committee members had the same question. In act,all o us inside o Kinesiology have been asking this orsome time!

Early in the search process, committee membersmet with Kinesiologys aculty, sta and students. At eachorum, aer a brie description o the logistics o the searchprocedure, several open-ended questions were asked o theaudience, including What are the important issues, chal-lenges and opportunities acing the Division o Kinesiologyin the next 510 years? A consensus opinion o each o thethree independent groups was that Kinesiology should bechanged rom a division to a school.

Aer these orums, the Search Committee took the

issue to Provost Teresa Sullivan. Provost Sullivan gave thecommittee permission to prepare a document summarizingthe committees rationale or why such a change would beappropriate at this time. In preparing this report, compar-ing the unit today with the one that existed 24 or even10 years ago, it is dicult to imagine that even the mostoptimistic person would have predicted the magnitudeo change in all aspects o the Division and eld oKinesiology. Te progress has been exceptional, andthere is every reason to expect continued success.

MovementForward

At the November 20, 2008 Regents meeting ProvostSullivan presented our case or the name change. She notedthat the national prominence o the Division had grownconsiderably, especially under the leadership o DeanUlrich, and that we had seen steady growth in the produc-tivity o our aculty, sta, and students, and in our researchunding, and that our Ph.D. program was widely recog-

nized as among the best Kinesiology programs inthe United States. Te Provost noted that the Divisionunctioned in every way like a school, and that the renam-ing would align us with the reality o our structure andperormance, both internally and externally. And so, on amotion by Regent White, seconded by Regent Maynard,the Regents unanimously approved renaming theDivision o Kinesiology as the School o Kinesiology,eective December 1, 2008.

Congratulations to you, the School o Kinesiologysalumni and supporters. It is in part thanks to you to thatwe have reached this milestone. Now we continue to lookorward to the accomplishments o this ne school over the

years to come. I remain condent that we continue to havegreat momentum and will achieve things we are yet to evendream o doing.

With best regards,

Te national prominence o the Divi-sion o Kinesiology has grown considerablyduring the past ten years under the leadershipo Dean Beverly Ulrich. Te steadily risingquality o programs, aculty, and sta withinthe Division has contributed to increasingcompetition or enrollment in its programs.Undergraduate enrollment is currently morethan 800, ourth highest among the twelveschools and colleges with undergraduate

programs at the University o Michigan. Over the past decade, the aculty has completely revamped the curricula in three o theour undergraduate majors. Te graduate program continues to grow. Te Ph.D. program in Kinesiology at Michigan is now

widely recognized as among the best in the United States. Te distinguished scholarship o the aculty is recognized by their roles innational leadership such as executive positions in national proessional organizations in kinesiology, as Fulbright Scholars, and asellows in prestigious national organizations. Additionally, about one third o the members o the aculty have important editorialresponsibilities or prominent research journals.

Te growth o research unding or Kinesiology at Michigan has been impressive. In 200607, the Division ranked frst amongCIC (A consortium o the Big en universities plus the University o Chicago) kinesiology programs or external unding, and in2007, it ranked third nationally among kinesiology programs or NIH unding. Between 1999 and 2007, total external undingincreased by nearly three-old as the result o a more than two-old increase in non-ederal unding and a greater than seven-oldincrease in ederal unding. External unding or FY08 is approximately $7.6 million, with an anticipated increase to approximately$7.8 million or FY09. Kinesiology aculty members have been unded through ederal awards rom the NIH, NSF, CDC, NASAand the U.S. Department o Education. Non-ederal unds have come rom a variety o sources.

Te Division o Kinesiology unctions exactly like one o our schools or colleges in every way, except or the nomenclature.Te unit admits graduate and undergraduate students, hires and promotes aculty, and administers its own grants and budget.

It is governed by a dean and an executive committee. In becoming the School o Kinesiology this unit will urtherenhance the University o Michigans national leadership in kinesiology, a feld that is growing in the United Statesand Canada. Sixty-one universities in the U.S. oer a Ph.D. in kinesiology or a closely related feld, and at fveo these institutions, the academic unit is a school. Renaming the Division o Kinesiology will align Michigansacademic unit with the reality o its actual structure and perormance, both internally and externally.

Contributing to this prole has been Kinesiologys impressive growth over theyears in the importance and impact o the research, quality o the our academic pro-grams, and value in Kinesiologys service. Tis designation was achieved because othe strength o Kinesiologys aculty, sta, students and alumni. Becoming a school hasurther enhanced Michigans status as international leaders in kinesiology.

At the November 20, 2008 Regents meeting U-M Provost and Executive VicePresident or Academic Aairs, eresa A Sullivan, presented the ollowinginormation to the Regents in support o renaming the Division o Kinesiologyas the School o Kinesiology:

Tis issue oMovementmagazine is the rst since the historic vote o the U-M Regents that

recognizes Kinesiologys unique and invaluable expertise that enriches research, learning, andservice at the University o Michigan and transorms us rom a division to a school.

On a motion by Regent White, seconded by Regent Maynard, the Regents unanimouslyapproved renaming the Division o Kinesiology as the School o Kinesiology, eectiveDecember 1, 2008.

RONALD ZERNICKE, Director o the U-M Bone and Joint InjuryPrevention & Rehabilitation Center, was appointed the new Dean o the

School o Kinesiology by the University o Michigans Board o Regents

at its October meeting. Te appointment is eective Jan. 1, 2010.In addition to directing the Bone and Joint Center since 2007,

Zernicke is a aculty member in the Department o Orthopaedic Surgery,the Department o Biomedical Engineering, and the School o Kinesiology.

President Coleman and I are extremely pleased that Dr. Zernicke isassuming the leadership o the School o Kinesiology at this time o dra-matic change within the study o human movement, Sullivan says. Weare condent that he will strengthen the schools international reputationo excellence in providing innovative education or the next generation omovement science proessionals.

Zernicke sees great promise in the School o Kinesiology and has anexciting vision.

Kinesiology is poised to move rom what I would call excellent to outstanding, Zernicke says. People have de-

scribed kinesiology as an undervalued stock. Tere is a tremendous resource there, and I dont think the ull messageis getting out.

Former dean Beverly Ulrich is thrilled with Zernickes appointment.Dr. Ron Zernicke has a remarkable record as a researcher in the eld o kinesiology and tissue biomechanics,

Ulrich says. He is recognized around the world or his own work as well as his breadth o knowledge and leadership.He distinguished himsel as an administrator at both UCLA, where he was department chair, and the Universityo Calgary, where he was the dean o the aculty o kinesiology, by building programs, acilities, and unds or hisunits. He combines strong and visionary leadership with a supportive and open rapport with colleagues, aculty andalumni.

A Wisconsin native, Zernicke has degrees rom Concordia UniversityChicago, and the University o Wiscon-sinMadison. He and his wie Kathy reside in Ann Arbor. Tey have two grown children.

My time in Michigan has been very memorable. It has involved muchhard work and adjusting to a new way o doing things, but I have

enjoyed the whole process. I like my classes here along with learningabout the American culture along the way. I have also taken part inextra curricular activities such as going to Michigan ice hockey gamesand playing rugby or Bluea completely dierent set up to my usualsports surroundings. My time here has made me even more indepen-dent and increased my ability to meet new challenges. I have enjoyedsocializing and traveling the country with ellow students and havemade some good riends. I would encourage anyone who has theopportunity to study abroad to do so.

Troughout nearly 50 years at Michigan, Johns primaryresearch ocus has been on changes that occur in the mass,strength and power o muscles as people age, and particu-larly in the eects o exercise and training on these changes.Between the ages o 50 and 80, almost hal the muscle berspresent in our muscles are lost, and even world class athletesare not immune rom this, he reports.

Despite these losses, physical railty with advancing yearsis not inevitable. Research at Michigan and elsewhere has de-

veloped sae exercise protocols that help even the rail elderlyto saely preserve the strength and power o their remainingmuscle bers.

Faulkner is living proo that exercise at every age reapsbenets. He has made the eight mile round trip between his

As Associate Proessor in the Department o Public andCommunity Health at the University o Maryland, Carolynconducts research related to the ways social and environmen-tal actors interere with an active liestyle.

For example, one o our studies ocusing on minorityhigh school students looks at neighborhood characteristicslike trac, crime, walkability, and access to parks and recre-ation centers. As might be predicted, i you live in a danger-ous neighborhood where there are no sidewalks and no saedestinations, youre going to spend more time indoors, sheobserves.

ALUMNI ON THE MOVE

Larger elementary schools have replaced small neighbor-hood schools, meaning children ride buses instead o walking.Its more economical perhaps, but at what cost?

Carolyn brings a lielong commitment to health andphysical activity to her research. She grew up in Michigan,swimming, skiing, sailing, and running track. In the summersshe accompanied her mother, a community health nurse, to

clinics that provided immunization shots and preventive treat-ments to migrant ruit workers.Coming rom a small rural community to Ann Arbor

was quite a culture shock, she recalls. I loved it. I spent everysummer there, painting houses, working in retailwhateverit took to pay or my sublet. On a swimming scholarship, sheachieved All-American status in two relays and set a record inthe 50 ree. Her varsity team won the Big en Championship.

Next came a Ph.D. in Public Health rom Johns HopkinsUniversity (1994) and a post-doc at the National Institutes oHealth. At NIH, she evaluated the clinical trials o behavioralchange interventions such as exercise, diet and smoking cessa-tion. She was struck to nd no evidence that the multi-million

dollar interventions created long-term improvements. Manyo the studies were not unded or ollow-up, so there was noway o knowing whether changes like exercise or weight losspersisted or not. Tere was a signicant gap between knowinghow to change behavior and understanding how to maintain it.

Carolyn is convinced that the physical environmentwhether the home, school, worksite, or community atlargeis integral to a persons ability to make and maintainpositive behavior change. She is currently engaged in threenational and one local study unded by NIH, the Robert WoodJohnson Foundation, and the Centers or Disease Control.

She collaborates with urban planners, sociologists, crimi-nologists, and other proessionals beyond the traditional elds

o health and medicine.

Carolyn is a ounding aculty member o the Universityo Marylands School o Public Health where she teaches andmentors undergraduate and graduate students. She and herhusband Peter keep busy ollowing the sports activities o theirtwo children, Garret, 17, and Allison, 12. In 2000, Carolyn re-sumed swimming at the US Masters level and has establishednational records, earned All American and international top

ten rankings, and twice competed in the open water 4.4-mileChesapeake Bay Swim.She enjoys the diverse acets o her lie and is excited

Urban Aairs Specialist Named to the

Bickner Endowed Cair

RESEARCH ON THE MOVE

Dr. Mark S. Rosentraub, an

expert in the role o sports inurban economic development,

has been named to the newly-created Bickner Endowed Chair

in Kinesiology. His appointmentstarted September 1, 2009. You cannd his oce on the third oor

o Observatory Lodge.He was proessor o urban a-

airs at the Maxine Goodman LevinCollege o Urban Aairs o Cleve-land State University, where he alsoserved as dean rom 20012007. Dr.Rosentraub is author or co-authoro our books and numerous journalarticles, and the recipient o teach-ing, writing and mentorship awards.

I am hoping to contribute to-ward making Michigan the premiere

university or a new era in sportmanagement. All o the componentsare here, he stated.

Te eld o sport managementis undergoing a huge intellectualshi. Historically, the discipline hasocused on the playing eldthetraining o athletes, the developmento coaches, and the relationshipsbetween athletes and coaches.

oday, we are seeing sportplaying an increasingly importantrole in the design and planning o

cities. Along with museums, thearts, and other cultural components,sport is one o the enhancementsthat attract people to a community.It is an integral part o the tourismindustry, the entertainment industry,and real estate land use develop-ment. Sports help to attract and

retain the human capital that drivesthe 21st century economy.Sport does not just reer to

arenas and stadiums. When hiredas a consultant in urban planning,Marks rst piece o advice is, builda bike path. Spectator and participa-tory sports are equally important.

As an urban aairs special-ist who studies the economicand intangible value o sports andother amenities or urban centers,Rosentraub represents the unique

perspective Kinesiology sought orthe person holding its rst endowedproessorship. Rather than an expertin a single discipline, the acultysearch committee was charged withselecting a person whose interestsspanned several elds o study.

Proessor Rosentraub expects to

prepare Kinesiology graduates withinterdisciplinary skills as well. Myvision is to train students or leader-ship roles in sports managementorganizations like Disney and AEG,the top two sports and entertain-ment presenters worldwide. o dothis, they need to understand thebusiness o sports, marketing, themedia, community development,and the way all o these help citiesbecome places where productivepeople want to live.

I always remind my studentsthat economic development is drivenby human capital, not sport. Butsport is an important attractor ohuman capital.

By human capital, Rosen-traub does not mean the populationat large, but highly educated and

skilled workersthe best and thebrightest; those who bring produc-tivity and vitality to the place wherethey have chosen to live.

His own path has taken himrom New York, where he earned aBA and MA rom Queens College,to a PhD in urban aairs/publicadministration rom the University

o Southern Caliornia. Prior to theCleveland State post he was proes-sor and associate dean o the Schoolo Public and Environmental Aairsat Indiana University, where he alsoounded and directed IUs Center orUrban Policy and the Environment.He has been a visiting scholar at theHebrew University o Jerusalem,the University o Alberta, Canada,and the Freie Universitat, HumboldtUniversitat and Amerika Haus in

Germany.During his career, Dr. Rosen-traub has been principal investiga-tor or more than $17 million inresearch contracts or governmentand private organizations. In 2003,he was appointed commissioner orthe agency in charge o Jacobs Fieldand Gund Arena in Cleveland.

Sports have always been a bigpart o his lie. He participated inbasketball and soccer, and playedbaseball well into his 40s; currentlyhe is active in bicycling and gol. Iwould not have predicted that sportswould become a substantial part omy academic lie, he admits. I liketo say, were all still growing, but or

me, some o the pieces have reallycome together.

Mark and his wie Karen haveour grown children and ve grand-children. He collaborates with hisson, Proessor David Swindell, a ac-ulty member at University o NorthCarolina at Charlotte who shares hisresearch interests.

He has also been engaged on theinternational ront. Some o my stu-dents have worked in Gaza and theWest Bank, as well as Croatia andBosnia, helping in the redesign ocities, also ocusing, as strange as itmay sound, on sport management.

On that global scale, sport pro-vides a particular uniying element

even in situations that are very, verypolitically contentious. One o thethings I hope to expose students tois the role sport can play in interna-tional confict. It gives young peoplea positive outlet. In areas o politicalor social unrest, sport brings peopletogether.

The Bickner Endowed Chair in Kinesio-

logy was established by a $1.5 million

git rom the Bickner Family Foundation

KINESIOLOGY ON THE MOVE

Te National Football League has asked the U.S. SupremeCourt to consider granting it unprecedented legal andeconomic power over players, coaches and ellow owners inthe orm o antitrust immunity based upon a more nuanced,economics-based approach.

But a group o 20 o Americas leading economists, expertson economics-based approaches, have led a 61-page amicus

brie (riend o the court) arguing that antitrust immunity is thelast thing that should be granted to the league. Led by RogerNoll at Stanord, and including U-M Sport Management proes-sor Rodney Fort, the analysis oered in the amicus brie countersthe NFLs argument or antitrust immunity on every ront. Legalbries typically rely on previous court decisions as authority, butProessor Fort and his colleagues rely on 45 books and articlesthey authored, all ocusing on the economics o sports.

In American Needle v. NFL, the league argues that it is asingle entity or all business purposes rom player and coachcontracts to the selection o new owners and team movement.Te brie warns the high court that the NFLs single entity theo-

ry would be disastrous in its net eect on consumers. Indeed,the brie urges the court to do just the opposite. Instead ogranting the league monopoly power in its business practices,the court should bar collusive activities that are not essentialor the ecient operation o the league.

According to Proessor Fort, Working on the brie with somany esteemed colleagues was exciting and rewarding. It isa privilege to have some o my work recognized by the U.S.Supreme Court as an aid in their decision process. Te currentcourt session ends in April, 2010. Stay tuned or the conclusiono this saga next spring.

New research, lead byScott McLean, Ph.D., assistant proes-sor, movement science shows that training your brain may be

just as eective as training your muscles in preventing ACL oranterior cruciate ligament knee injuries, and suggests a shirom perormance-based to prevention-based athletic trainingprograms.

Te research team had subjects perorm one-legged squatsto atigue, then tested the reactions to various jumping andmovement commands. Researchers ound that both legsnot

just the atigued legshowed equally dangerous and potentiallyinjurious responses, said McLean. Te atigued subjects showed signicant potentially harmul changes in lower body movementsthat, when perormed improperly, can cause ACL tears.

"Tese ndings suggest that training the central control processthe brain and refexive responsesmay be necessary tocounter the atigue induced ACL injury risk," said McLean, who also has an appointment with the U-M Bone & Joint InjuryPrevention and Rehabilitation Center.

Te paper, "Fatigue Induced ACL Injury Risk Stems rom a Degradation in Central Control," appeared in the August 2009issue oMedicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. A complementary paper, "Dierence between Sexes and Limbs in Hip andKnee Kinematics and Kinetics During Anticipated and Unanticipated Jump Landings: Implications or ACL Injury," appearsonline at the British Journal o Sports Medicine.

MELANIE BEAULIEU realized she had a calling. Aferplaying high school and college soccer and witnessing many

o her teammates suer knee anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injuries, she thought there had to be something she

could do to help. Little did she know that help would comeyears later conducting sport injury research right at the

University o Michigan.

Beaulieu is the rst recipient o the Andrew Kozar Fellow-ship the rst o its kind or the School o Kinesiology andthe Bone & Joint Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation Center(the Center). Te ellowship provides support or doctoralellows studying prevention and rehabilitation science andwas a gi rom Kinesiology alumnus Dr. George Wade, B.S.64, M.S. 66. Te ellowship complements the Centers goalto prevent injury and achieve optimal health, mobility, andquality o lie throughout each persons liespan.

Originally rom Ottawa, Canada, Beaulieu received herB.Sc. and M.Sc. rom the University o Ottawa. Her masters

thesis ocused on lower-extremity dynamics involving three-dimensional kinematic and EMG analyses o male and emaleelite soccer players. She received numerous scholarships asan undergraduate and graduate student and presented herresearch at national and international meetings.

It was her passion or biomechanics that lead her to pur-sue a Master o Science degree. During that time, she enjoyed

researching the mechanisms o ACL injury and decided toexpand her research in knee injury prevention and musculo-skeletal dynamics. Enter Kinesiology at Michigan.

Te School o Kinesiologys doctoral program was Beau-lieus rst choice to complete her studies. She notes Kinesiol-ogy and the Center have impressive labs and the research toolsshe eels are necessary or success. Besides having world-classlabs and research tools, another major reason or her decisionto come to Michigan was working with her Academic Advisorand Proessor Scott McLean. His research to identiy the un-derlying mechanisms o sports-related injuries and eorts ormore eective injury screening and prevention strategies was a

chie draw or Beaulieu in choosing Michigan Kinesiology.Beaulieu knows ACL injury can lead to lie-long health

issues. Te ACL is one o our major ligaments in the kneeand is one o the most common youth sport injuries. Tistype o injury has been steadily climbing over the last decadein part because kids are more active and competitive. She alsoknows this injury comes with a steep pricenearly 70 percent

o ACL injuries will lead to an early onset o osteoarthritis.I grew up playing soccer, and while I did not sustain anyathletic injuries, I witnessed many o my teammates succumb-ing to ACL injuries. While I know I wont help them directly,I am excited that I might be able to help the next generation oathletes lessen their risk o injury, said Beaulieu.

McLean was thrilled to become Beaulieus advisor. Hesaid, Melanie is already proving hersel to be a tremendousasset in the lab and at the Center. We are very excited that shechose to come to Michigan and work with us on youth injuryprevention and rehabilitation. I am looking orward to sharingin her successeswhich I am sure will be many.

Proessor Ronald Zernicke, director o the Center, said,Each year, more than 30 million U.S. children and adoles-cents participate in organized sports. Without a better un-derstanding o injury mechanisms and their complex causes,the risks o injury will continue to escalate or many moreyears. Te Andrew Kozar Fellowship is giving U-M research-ers the unding and tools needed to investigate and urther the

knowledge o injury mechanisms and prevention programs.Beaulieu said, I dont expect to solve single handedly theACL injury enigma, however, I do want to contribute to thehigh-quality research that is being carried out in Kinesiologyand the Center. She hopes to get one step closer to under-standing the underlying mechanisms o knee injuries andeventually help prevent them.

I am looking orward to working with Dr. McLean andside-by-side with students and researchers in Kinesiology andat the Center, says Beaulieu. I am very excited to be a part othe great team here at Michigan.

It is the twenty-ourth country Ive visited, and with every trip comes incredible experi-ences that have sincerely shaped me into who I am today. I began travelingat a young age and through these adventures, began to really appreciatemy upbringing in the U.S. My semester abroad experience has added theunderstanding o international education into my travels. It is ascinatingto move beyond sightseeing and become part o an educational systemin a oreign country. Tings here are way less organized than in the US,its chaotic and borderline comical really. As an example, I signed up orclasses by writing down my preerences on a piece o paper. It really makesyou appreciate Wolverine Access!

response the Laurie Campbell award or undergraduate

students was created.Both Dr. Philipp and Proessor Stevens included their

alma mater in their estate plans along with local charities,amily members and other universities. For each, their estateplan simply stated the percentage o their assets they wantedto leave to the organizations and individuals thatmattered most to them, including the School o Kinesiology.

Dr. Philipps bequest will be used to support Kinesiol-ogys physical education teaching program. Proessor Stevensbequest is directed to the Laurie Campbell Award, whichrecognizes outstanding students in physical education.

For the School o Kinesiology, these gis are valuable asthey strengthen our endowed unds to help todays students

earn a Michigan degree: Te very degree both women valuedso much.

I you would like more inormation about including youralma mater in your estate plans, please eel ree to contact meat [email protected]. You too can help make a dierencein the lives and education o students in the School o Kinesi-ology or generations to come.

As noted by Associate Dean or Researchand Proessor Melissa Gross, ten years ago,Bev arrived at U-M Kinesiology with her hus-band Dale Ulrich as a proessor in MovementScience with expertise in motor development,especially related to children with disabilities.

Troughout the past ten years, in addition toher leadership as Dean, she has been an activeresearcher, mentored undergraduate andgraduate students, published papers, andsuccessully competed or ederal unding.

Campaign Council member Joan Bickneralso spoke about Bevs leadership and impacton the School, especially or the students andparents like Joan and her husband Bruce. Allthree o their children attended U-M, two owhom are alumni o Kinesiology. Te Bicknershave also been generous supporters o

Kinesiologys academic work (see page 12or a story on the Bickner Endowed Chair).Finally, eresa Sullivan Provost and

Executive Vice President or Academic Aairsat the University o Michigan spoke about Bevsimpact on the academics o Kinesiology andher role and infuence among her peer deanson campus. Under Bevs leadership the schoolhas grown enormously as noted in the Provostsstatement to the Regents (see page 2) when they

voted to transorm Kinesiology rom a divisionto a school.
