Test Consultant: Len Brownlie, Ph.D.
Len Brownlie received a Ph.D in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. Canada in 1993. His Ph.D thesis was a survey of techniques to reduce aerodynamic drag created by the racing apparel of downhill skiers, cyclists and runners. Len's M.Sc thesis also looked at the thermoregulatory consequences of wearing bodysuits during endurance exercise. Len has been an aerodynamics consultant to NIKE Inc.'s Project SWIFT since 1998. Project SWIFT has provided aerodynamic apparel to track athletes at the 2000–2016 Summer Olympic Games and to long track speed skating teams and ice hockey teams at the 2002–2010 Winter Olympics.
