In this episode of OUR Path to Research, we sit down with Dr. Martin Gibala at the Human Performance Lab at McMaster University to explore the science behind exercise, health, and human potential.

From molecular mechanisms in skeletal muscle to real-world applications in athletic performance and chronic disease, Dr. Gibala shares how research in exercise physiology translates into meaningful impact.

We also dive into what makes the Human Performance Lab unique, what a typical day in the lab looks like, and how undergraduate students can get involved in research. Whether you're interested in kinesiology, health sciences, or just want to better understand how exercise affects the body, this episode offers valuable insight into both the science and the pathway into research.
