Dr. Mark Fischman, a Wayne T. Smith distinguished professor in the Auburn University College of Education's Department of Kinesiology, will become editor in chief of Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport in August, 2009.

As editor, Fischman will oversee the publication of a comprehensive professional journal that features refereed research articles and notes on such topics as biomechanics, epidemiology, growth and motor development, motor control and learning, measurement and evaluation, physiology, pedagogy, psychology, history and philosophy, sociology and cultural anthropology.

Fischman, who joined the College of Education faculty in 1989, has distinguished himself as a researcher in the areas of motor learning and motor skill acquisition, information processing and divided attention. He was named a Wayne T. Smith distinguished professor in 2004.
