Jamie Pigman, Ph.D., has made it his priority and ambition to provide his students with the knowledge, skills, opportunities, encouragement, and mentoring necessary to be successful professionals. His diverse professional as well as research background allows him to relate his teaching and mentoring to various health careers. Pigman uses performance-based learning within the classroom. The goal of this teaching strategy is for students to be able to apply and use the knowledge taught in class, as opposed to just retaining information.
Pigman is a positive role model to his students and demonstrates the numerous benefits of exercise by personally maintaining an elevated level of fitness and wellness. He achieves this by implementing the fitness and wellness concepts taught in his classes, which functions as compelling evidence to convince students to adhere to a healthy lifestyle. Pigman’s physical skills and athletic experience are something that his students recognize, value, and are inspired by.
Pigman’s research interests focus on the extent to which performing novel resistance training affects adults’ cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as muscular fitness.
