Abstract
This perspective highlights some of the key contributions of Professor Bengt Saltin (1935–2014) to exercise physiology. The emergence of exercise physiology from work physiology as his career began is discussed as are his contributions in a number of areas. Saltin’s open and question-based style of leadership is a model for the future of our field.
