AJ is back for a second guest appearance on the FRW podcast. We were supposed to record in person at ACSM Midwest, but your illustrious host forgot the power cord.

Listen to AJ's previous episode with Joel Luedke here!

We discussed the physiology of training for sport, training for firefighting, and the downsides of working out in structural firefighting gear.

Dr. Jagim is the Director of Sport Medicine Research for the Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and an Associate Professor of Family Medicine. Dr. Jagim completed his PhD in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology at Texas A&M University. Andrew is also a certified strength & conditioning specialist with distinction through the National Strength & Conditioning Association and a certified sports nutritionist through the International Society of Sports Nutrition. 

His primary research area focuses on how various nutrition and exercise-related strategies influence the performance and health of athletes. Dr. Jagim also has a focused interest in the physiological demands of various sports and tactical professions and how they pertain to injury, recovery status, and performance. This work has led to several publications in peer-reviewed journals, and presentations at national conference events. In addition to his time spent in academia, Andrew has worked as a personal trainer and sports nutrition consultant for various clients and athletes.
