What was the specialty of the doctors who developed Gatorade for the University of Florida's football team in 1965?

Medicine and Physiology (focusing on Nephrology - functioning of the kidneys)
(Gatorade developed on the premise that team members needed to rehydrate and replace electrolytes for enhanced performance)
