Jacob Dinardi
Jacob Dinardi completed his MS in Kinesiology and his BS in Exercise and Movement Science at San Francisco State University. Jacob is currently a lecturer in the Kinesiology Department pursuing pathways toward a Ph.D. related to the social-psychological domains of physical activity. He has conducted research to investigate disordered behavior in sport, training, and non-competitive exercise among physically active individuals including ultradistance runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and freedivers. Many of Jacob’s academic interests stem from his experience as a long-distance trail runner and USATF coach. Striving for a healthy level of physical activity is something Jacob values and shares with his students. He has collaborated with SFSU student leaders to create student-faculty physical activity events and build connections within the Department of Kinesiology. Jacob is passionate about helping students achieve their goals and has assisted with research at SFSU to better understand students' needs and definitions of success.
