Career Summary

Biography

Dr Emily Cox is a Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Physiology and the Program Convenor for the Master of Exercise Physiology. She is an emerging research leader in the field of exercise for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.

Practitioner experience that influences research direction

I have a decade of practitioner experience as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with Exercise and Sport Science Australia, which has stimulated my passion for conducting real world-applicable trials and bridging the gap between research and practice. As such, my program of research focusses not only on what types and amounts of exercise are most effective for people with type 2 diabetes, but also identifying strategies to help people start, and then stick with, optimal levels of exercise in the long-term. For example, I am currently undertaking a world-first randomised trial investigating approaches to exercise prescription for adults with type 2 diabetes in the face of unrelenting long COVID symptoms; this has been funded by Diabetes Australia.

I also aim to enhance the prescription and delivery of programs by exercise professionals to further improve the outcomes of people with type 2 diabetes. I led a study investigating the delivery of a group exercise program via telehealth for people with type 2 diabetes; this project mirrored the structure of the current Medicare-subsidised in-person group exercise physiology services to ensure direct transferability to practice.

I have collaborated with a broad array of clinicians and researchers, including Accredited Exercise Physiologists, Psychologists, Physiotherapists, medical Doctors, and Dieticians. These working relationships have enabled the successful implementation of research projects and development of funding applications.

Science communication

I am dedicated to disseminating research to the scientific community, healthcare professionals and the public. My work in the media:

Consumer involvement

I work closely with multiple consumers with type 2 diabetes to ensure the relevance and impact of my work, empower consumers to guide research priorities and the developed programs, and advocate for the interests of the community. These consumers are invaluable in identifying research needs, optimising the design of my research studies, and developing effective research dissemination plans.

Research and practitioner experiences comes full circle in the classroom

My research and clinical experience heavily inform my teaching practices. I enrich student learning by incorporating real-life practical examples and personal experiences into my teaching to inspire students and enhance their understanding of the applicability of the knowledge and skills being taught. I also deliver research-guided course material with a focus on its real-world application to properly set students up for professional success beyond university.

Background: This paper outlines the protocol for the ecofit implementation-effectiveness trial, a multi-component mobile Health (mHealth) intervention that aims to increase resistance and aerobic physical activity in primary care-based adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study will be conducted as part of the Diabetes Alliance Program Plus (DAP+), a large-scale integrated health service intervention in a large health district in Australia. The ecofit program has previously demonstrated efficacy and effectiveness in insufficiently active people with (or at risk of) T2D and community dwelling-adults, respectively. The aim of this study is to assess the reach (primary outcome), adoption, appropriateness, feasibility and fidelity of the implementation of ecofit and the overall effectiveness of the intervention. Research design and methods: Prospective participants are adults diagnosed with T2D, who attend primary care settings enrolled in DAP+, and are identified and referred to ecofit by a primary care clinician. To support the implementation of ecofit a host of strategies will be utilised, which includes the education and upskilling of primary care clinicians enrolled in DAP+ using brief training sessions, the supply of an information package and access to professional development. The co-primary outcomes of reach will be defined as the number of participant registrations on the ecofit platform and the number of primary care clinicians who have been introduced to ecofit. Conclusion: This study will evaluate the implementation of ecofit among adults with T2D within the primary care setting. The results may help improve T2D lifestyle interventions in primary care settings across Australia.

Objectives: People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are more likely to develop a range of rheu-matological and musculoskeletal symptoms (RMS), and experience both chronic and widespread pain, compared with the general population. However, these symptoms are not commonly acknowledged by researchers, which hampers our understanding of the impact on this population. Since exercise is a key lifestyle management strategy for T2D and participation levels are typically low, understanding the potential impact of RMS on exercise participation is critical. The aim of this review is to summarise the literature regarding the prevalence and pathophysiology of RMS in T2D, the evidence for the benefits and risks associated with exercise on RMS, and the currently available tools for the reporting of RMS in both research studies and community settings. Methods: A narrative review. Results: There are numerous exercise trials in T2D, but few have sufficiently reported pain-related ad-verse events and even fewer have investigated the effects of exercise on RMS and chronic pain. Discussion: Recommendations for future research are provided.

Background. Patients with diabetes have 44% greater risk of tendon rupture requiring hospitalisation. Despite this, in vivo research of the associations of diabetes and other cardiovascular disease risk factors on structural and mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon are sparsely studied. Methods. Inactive individuals with type 2 diabetes (n=33) underwent ultrasound and shear wave elastography imaging of their Achilles tendons bilaterally to measure thickness and shear wave velocity (SWV), an index of tendon elastic modulus. In a separate session, participants underwent assessment of body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and blood biomarkers. Seven inactive individuals without type 2 diabetes were recruited for comparison of tendon structural and mechanical properties. Results. In participants with diabetes, free tendon SWV displayed large negative correlations with hip circumference (r=-0.67, P <0.001), waist circumference (r=-0.59, P <0.001) and body mass index (r=-0.52, P <0001), and a moderate positive correlation with VO2 peak (r=0.34, P =0.006). SWV was lower in participants with diabetes taking statins compared to not taking statins (Free tendon: median difference 8%, P=0.004); insertion: 11%, P =0.001). Compared to the control group, the diabetes group had thicker Achilles free tendon (median difference 15%, P<0.001) and Achilles insertion (17%, P=0.006), but no differences in SWV (P=0.490 or 0.577 respectively). Conclusions. Achilles tendons from individuals with type 2 diabetes were thicker compared to inactive individuals without diabetes. Adiposity, statin use and low cardiorespiratory fitness were associated with inferior Achilles tendon mechanical properties in people with diabetes.
