From Student to Faculty: Building the Next Generation of Exercise Physiologists
Welcome back to On the Move, the podcast from the Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management at Texas A&M University. In this episode, host Chelsea Reber is joined by Dr. Steven Martin, Clinical Associate Professor at TAMU, to explore the critical intersection of exercise science and first responder health, as well as the health of the community.
Dr. Martin shares his remarkable journey from master's student to faculty member at Texas A&M, spanning nearly three decades of dedication to cardiovascular health research. From life-saving early detection of heart disease to cutting-edge DEXA scan technology, Dr. Martin explains how their program has identified serious cardiovascular conditions before they became fatal. The discussion highlights the unique physiological demands faced by first responders—from sudden adrenaline spikes to extreme physical exertion while wearing heavy gear—and how proper screening can prevent line-of-duty cardiac events. Dr. Martin also discusses the invaluable hands-on learning opportunities for students, the newly formed Tactical Athlete Research Group (TAR), and exciting new research involving live fire simulations.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about protecting those who protect us, the power of real-world clinical experience in education, and how exercise science is literally saving lives in our community.
