Research expertise
I have research expertise in a number of areas of physiology and exercise science. Two major areas of research are in:
- Cardiovascular function relating to occupational health or adaptations to exercise training, and
- Musculoskeletal health relating to exercise performance and injury prevention.
In addition, I have two major areas of collaboration in research: exercise and immunology; exercise and nutrition. Also involved in 3 new research initiatives: pain and blood pressure regulation; how exercise protects the heart from psychological stress; using the internet to support weight loss programs in overweight populations.
Extensive experience in research higher degree student training: supervised 11 RHD students to completion (4 PhD, 3 Masters, 4 Honours) and currently supervising 4 PhD and 2 Masters by research students.
