Master of Science September 1995~ January 1998, Department of Physical Education & Recreation, University of Alberta, Canada
Supervisor, Dr. Robert D. Steadward, Thesis title “Effects of exercise with functional stimulation assisted cycling on insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance among people with spinal cord injury”
Bachelor of Science March, 1989- July, 1995
Department of Physical Education & Recreation, Yonsei University
One year of BSC program was completed at the University of Alberta, Canada as a visiting student (1993-1994)
Justin has various research experiences on exercise and health from molecular biology, animal science, physiology, endocrinology, clinical and epidemiology studies in three different countries including South Korea, Canada and United States.
Justin has either led or been integrally involved with 12 completed trials investigated the effects of exercise on various diseases among people with and without disabilities (Spinal cord injured, Children with Epilepsy, Obese children, Obese adolescents, Obese adults, Type 2 diabetic and Cancer patients) and currently the PI or co-investigator on four ongoing trials investigating the role of exercise in cancer population including colorectal and breast cancer patients.
Justin Jeon has also led several epidemiological studies which investigated the effects of fatness and fitness on metabolic diseases among adolescents and adults. Korean Physical Activity and Health Study was a three year study which followed male high school students’ (about 400 students) physical activity levels, fitness, fatness, metabolic parameters and intima media thickness (IMT). Another epidemiological study was performed (Study 1 with 15000 participants, and study 2 with 60000 participants) which investigated the effects of high school fitness and fatness levels on obesity and metabolic syndrome risk factors during adulthood (22 year follow up).
Justin has published more than 53 articles (Pubmed, Scoupes, SCI or SCIE) in international journals and 45 in Korea journals. His research publications have been cited more than 1277 times (926 since 2009) with h-index 19 and i10-index of 26 (scholar.google.com)
