She completed her BS degree in Psychology at Indiana University, her MS degree in Exercise Science at Arizona State University, her PhD in Kinesiology at Michigan State University, and post-doctoral training in Health Psychology at Boston University School of Medicine. Prior to joining the staff of ACSM, she spent her academic career conducting research focused on the use of exercise as an adjunct to traditional treatments for clinical depression and the mechanisms underlying the exercise-depression relationship. That included studies examining psychosocial factors predictive of exercise participation among depressed women, the use of home- and facility-based exercise interventions to alleviate depressive symptoms, and studies examining psychological factors that moderate the exercise-depression relationship. Her more recent work examined the effects of exercise on the cancer-related symptom cluster of depression, pain, and fatigue in breast cancer survivors.
Lynette joined ACSM in 2012 as the Vice President for Evidence Based Practice and Scientific Affairs. In that role, she provided expertise and oversight to ensure that evidence based practice protocols and processes were followed when developing and disseminating official statements of the College. In 2017, Dr. Craft transitioned to her current position as ACSM’s Chief Science Officer. She provides day-to day oversight for all scientific and research activities of the College, including communicating to members and key stake-holders the scientific and research mission of the College, ACSM’s scientific priorities, and opportunities for engagement. In addition, she works with staff and members to implement ACSM’s strategic plan related to science and research. Further, she is responsible for scientific relationship development and collaboration with outside organizations and industry.
