Upon graduation from Sylvania Southview High-School in 1983, Dr. Lambert entered the University of Toledo and graduated with a 3.55 GPA in Human Performance (now Exercise Science) in 1988. This GPA and research experience and publications with Michael G. Flynn, PhD helped him get a "free ride" to Graduate School at the Human Performance Lab at Ball State University. Dr. Lambert excelled in this fertile academic setting and it was the most rewarding two years of his life achieving a 3.93 GPA (including a year of Biochemistry in the Chemistry Dept.) and learning a great deal about applied physiology research including rehydration after dehydration under Dr. David L. Costill. After graduation in 1990, Dr. Lambert worked in Dr. Ron Maughan's lab at the University of Aberdeen Medical School, Aberdeen, Scotland for one year. This also was a great experience for Dr. Lambert studying mechanisms of fluid replacement and metabolism during high-intensity exercise. Dr. Lambert then worked with John O. Holloszy, M.D. for one year at the Washington University Medical School. Dr. Lambert completed his PhD at the University of Toledo in 1997 again under the auspices of Dr. Michael G. Flynn.
