Adam Lepley is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Performance, Rehabilitation & Injury Management Exercise Lab at the University of Michigan’s School of Kinesiology. His academic background includes a bachelor's degree in athletic training from Grand Valley State University, a master's in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota, and a Ph.D. in Exercise Science from the University of Toledo. Lepley’s research focuses on understanding the neural contributions to muscle dysfunction, particularly in relation to lower extremity biomechanics and self-reported disability following traumatic knee joint injuries. He applies foundational skills in neurophysiology to explore the systemic effects of joint injury on clinical function and athletic performance. The overarching goal of his research is to identify the origins of persistent neuromuscular dysfunction to enhance long-term health outcomes after acute injuries. Lepley is affiliated with the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, American College of Sports Medicine, and the American Society of Biomechanics, and serves as an Associate Editor for BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders.
