Dr Steve Trangmar
Senior Lecturer
Dr Trangmar is a Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Physiology at the Carnegie School of Sport.
Dr Trangmar obtained his PhD entitled “Circulatory limitations to exercise capacity in humans: the impact of heat stress and dehydration on brain and muscle blood flow and metabolism” from Brunel University London in 2015. His thesis was awarded the Vice-Chancellor's prize for doctoral research.
Dr Trangmar was appointed to the role of Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at St Mary's University Twickenham in 2015, before joining the University of Roehampton later that year, as Lecturer and, subsequently, Senior Lecturer, in Cardiovascular & Exercise Physiology. He was appointed to his current role of Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology in the Carnegie School of Sport at Leeds Beckett University in 2022.
Current Teaching
- BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science
- MSc Sport & Exercise Physiology
Research Interests
Dr Trangmar’s research expertise is in the field of cardiovascular physiology, where he has specialised in exploring the regulation of blood flow and metabolism, at different vascular tissue beds/organs, at rest and during exercise. His current research objectives are to continue to explore how different combinations of occupational work, exercise and environmental stressors affect brain, central and peripheral circulatory function in healthy individuals, those with chronic conditions and in the natural ageing process.
Dr Trangmar is actively recruiting for self-funded PhD students in the study of the brain blood flow and metabolic responses to exercise, the cardiovascular responses to exercise heat stress & dehydration and, the mechanisms underpinning blood flow regulation in healthy, aging and diseased populations.
