Jimmy Bagley, PhD

I’m Jimmy, a tenured Associate Professor of Kinesiology at San Francisco State University. I'm Director of the Muscle Physiology Lab, Co-Director of the Exercise Physiology Lab, and work as a Visiting Research Scholar in Dr. Andy Galpin's Lab at Cal State Fullerton. At SF State, I teach graduate/undergraduate courses in exercise & movement science. My Lab's research aims to help elucidate muscle plasticity (hypertrophy/atrophy) mechanisms using novel 3D imaging methods in athletes, "healthy adults", and individuals with disease/disability. My passion for studying the human body began with a basic physiology course while I was a collegiate athlete (swimming and water polo). I became extremely fascinated with the science behind human performance and went on to earn a BS in Kinesiology (Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo), MS in Kinesiology (Cal State Fullerton), and PhD in Human Bioenergetics from the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University. I’ve published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, and book chapters in the fields of strength & conditioning, muscle biology, and exercise physiology. I'm also an active member of the American Physiological Society (APS), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
