Known throughout the academic community for the high-caliber nature of
his scientific insights and work, Dr. Timothy Noakes is Discovery
Health professor of exercise and sport science at the University of Cape
Town in South Africa. He is also director of the Medical Research
Council/University of Cape Town Research Unit for Exercise Science and
Sports Medicine at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa in
Newlands. Noakes was awarded a doctorate in science (DSc) in 2002, the
highest degree awarded by the University of Cape Town. Publishing the
first scientific article on exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is
considered among his greatest achievements.
Noakes is a veteran of more than 70 marathons and ultramarathons, and
his book Lore of Running (Human Kinetics, 2003) is considered a
classic by serious distance runners. In addition, Noakes is an editorial
board member for many international sport science journals and a former
president of the South African Sports Medicine Association. In 1996, he
presented the prestigious J.B. Wolffe Memorial Lecture at the American
College of Sports Medicine’s annual meeting. In 1999 he was elected as
one of 22 founding members of the International Olympic Committee’s
Olympic Science Academy. The National Research Foundation of South
Africa considers Noakes an A-rated scientist, and in 2008 he received
the Order of Mapungubwe (Silver) from the president of South Africa.
“For sport science devotees at all levels, and those who love to just
go for a run, Dr. Noakes' book is the ultimate combination of scientific
rigor and practical advice. A must on every athlete’s bookshelf.”
Karim Khan-- Editor of British Journal of Sports Medicine
