Why I Teach at Eastern

I teach at Eastern University because I have a great passion for working with college students, and I especially enjoy doing that in a small school setting.  I have always had the goal to work with the public on a personal level while having a profound impact.  By teaching my students how to promote clinical health and wellness to the public, I see my impact as exponential within the future of my students.  I find great joy in having an impact on students in a diverse faith-based institution, where I can help them not only grow in their knowledge of exercise science, but strengthen it with the concepts of a Christian world view. 

Research Interests

Professor Ostroski is currently studying the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training on the Lipid Values of Previously Sedentary Females.
