Profile

Jatin P. Ambegaonkar, PhD AT OT FIADMS is a Professor in the School of Kinesiology, College of Education and Human Development at George Mason University.

He works with people to help them perform better, reduce their injury risk, and improve their overall health using research and evidence-based translational approaches that combine laboratory and community engagement.

Dr. Ambegaonkar is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dance Medicine & Science, serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Athletic Training, and is a reviewer for over 25 different professional journals. He serves as a board director for the International Association for Dance Medicine & Science (IADMS) and has chaired its Research Committee. He also serves on the Executive Board of the Hylton Performing Arts Center and chairs its Strategic Planning Committee.

Dr. Ambegaonkar is the founding co-director of the Sports Medicine Assessment Research & Testing (SMART) Laboratory, which focuses on injury prevention, neuromechanical assessment, concussions, and sports performance across the lifespan. He has published over 80 articles and given over 150 regional, national, and international conference presentations.

He is a co-editor of Research Methods in the Dance Sciences: https://tinyurl.com/mry5zysv, a pioneering textbook in the Dance Medicine and Science field.

Dr. Ambegaonkar has worked with colleagues across multiple disciplines to jointly secure $ 6.4 million in funds across 30 different grants from sponsors including federal, state, professional organizations, and local foundations e.g., National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Americans for the Arts (AFTA), Potomac Health Foundation (PHF) in collaboration with faculty colleagues.

Professionally, Dr. Ambegaonkar is a Certified Athletic Trainer and Occupational Therapist.

Research Interests

Performing Artists & Dancers | Biosensors | Athletics, Sport, and Physical Activity | Health-related Quality of Life, Balance, and Falls in Older Adults | Kinesiology - Movement | Injury Risk and Epidemiology | Rehabilitation | Community Care

My professional career is rooted in working to assist underserved populations. After graduating with my bachelor’s degree in India, I worked at the Paraplegic Foundation as an Occupational therapist. Working with this population, I realized that I wanted to learn more about how to work with the movement sciences (Kinesiology) and thus came to the US for graduate studies and worked on my master’s degree in Sport Injury Prevention & Management/Athletic Training at Springfield College, MA. I then completed my doctoral degree in Exercise and Sport Science/Sports Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. During my doctoral work, my graduate assistantship allowed me to implement and deliver a healthcare program for dancers and performing artists – an underserved subset of the physically active population. This experience was challenging yet fulfilling and led me toward my scholarship and service in working with underserved populations across the lifespan.

My research vision can be summed up as "Arts and Health for the Physically Active, Physical Activity for Health and Artists."

In my career thus far, I have worked in both laboratory and community settings using translational research to serve individuals across the lifespan in our Sports Medicine Assessment Research and Testing (SMART) Laboratory, which I co-founded in 2006. I have collaborated with colleagues to help community-dwelling older adults improve their physical and mental outcomes using arts-based intervention programs with federal National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) support, and to reduce their fall risk via the POISED (Precision Outreach Intervention, Screening, Surveillance, and Exercise for Falls Prevention) via private foundation (Potomac Health Foundation) support.

Through the Supporting Healthy Arts Research (SHARe) Consortium that I founded in 2017-18, we help dancers and athletes in the laboratory, dance studios, and athletic fields and courts using a multidisciplinary lens to reduce their injury risk and enhance their performance. Via the ACHIEVES (Advancing Healthcare Initiatives for Underserved Students) project, we have and continue to provide free athletic training healthcare to underserved students in Prince William County. Working alongside physical education faculty, we have delivered technology-based assessments to school-age students in underprivileged schools to examine their physical activity to address the childhood obesity epidemic.

Overall, all these efforts have allowed me to interface with scholars across disciplines to serve underserved populations. I have learned from these scholars, and participants and enjoy working with them. In the future, I plan to continue working to collectively improve health and wellness in people across the lifespan.
