WilsonP-2013 Dr. Patrick Wilson (Ph.D., 2014) was mentioned in an article on Triathlete.com.

The article, “How Much Fluid are You Consuming During a Race?” cites Dr. Wilson’s research at the University of Minnesota in reference to a triathlete’s ability to judge their fluid needs during a race. According to him, such personal judgement can be unreliable, which can lead to risks like dehydration on race day. Read more here.

During his tenure at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Wilson was advised by Dr. Stacy Ingraham, lecturer in the School of Kinesiology and director of Human and Sport Performance Laboratory (HSPL). Dr. Wilson is now a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, working in the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab.
