In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jereme Wilroy to discuss his personal story after sustaining a spinal cord injury at a young age. In the time since his injury, Jereme has gone on to play adapted sports, built a career in exercise science research and more. Jereme is an Associate Professor with a doctorate in health education and promotion. His research centers on telehealth interventions and adaptive intervention designs to develop and evaluate exercise programs for people with disabilities. He currently leads an NIH R01 study examining the cardiometabolic impact of exercise in wheelchair users. In addition to serving as a Director of Research, he is also the Program Director for the Disability Health Studies Graduate Certificate and serves as the behavioral health expert for NCHPAD.
