Digital Athlete Lab

Welcome to the Digital Athlete Lab. I’m Dr. John Holash, an educator and researcher based in Calgary, Alberta, specializing in muscle physiology, digital-health research, and the transformative power of exercise on the human body. With a passion for both the scientific understanding and practical application of exercise physiology, I’ve spent years studying the mechanisms through which physical activity, mobility, and recovery influence health, well-being, and the aging process.

Outside the classroom, you’ll find me embracing the outdoors, whether skiing in the Rockies, cycling through Alberta’s landscapes, canoeing Canada’s lakes, or sailing the coasts. These activities are an integral part of my research perspective and personal ethos for health, fitness, and longevity.
