معرفی
Dr. Martin MacInnis is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary, leading the Molecular, Environmental, and Exercise Physiology (MEEP) Lab. He holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia (2014) and a B.Sc. in Biology from Cape Breton University (2009). His research focuses on understanding how physiological systems adapt to acute and chronic exercise stimuli, particularly mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle mitochondria density, red blood cell volume, and responses to hypoxia, biological sex, and carbohydrate availability.

- Research Highlights:
- Mechanisms of skeletal muscle mitochondrial density regulation
- Impact of hypoxia on exercise responses
- Role of biological sex in exercise adaptation
- Applications of wearable technology in exercise physiology
- Awards:
- 2018: The 2017 Journal of Physiology Early Investigator Runner-up Prize

His work integrates molecular, environmental, and exercise physiology to advance understanding of exercise tolerance and fatigue. Current projects explore the physiological determinants of exercise capacity, neuromuscular fatigue, and novel methods for assessing training adaptations using wearable technology. Courses taught include advanced exercise physiology and integrative physiology seminars.
Collaborations focus on interdisciplinary research, with funding from NSERC, Mitacs, and other agencies. The MEEP Lab emphasizes translational research to inform training strategies and clinical applications in sports science and health.
