Dr Max Nelson is a Lecturer in Exercise and Sport Science in the School of Health Sciences. Max completed his PhD in 2017, with his research focusing on heart rate parameters as a marker of post-exertional fatigue in both athletes and clinic populations such as those with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Prior to this, Max completed his degree in Applied Sciences (Human Movement and Health Studies) in 2010, majoring in Sport and Exercise Science. In 2011 he completed an Honours year researching the effects of exercise induced fatigue on cardiac autonomic control in elite cyclists. The results of this study were published in 2014.

Max completed his PhD in 2017, with his research focusing on heart rate parameters as a marker of post-exertional fatigue in both athletes and clinic populations such as those with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Prior to this, Max completed his degree in Applied Sciences (Human Movement and Health Studies) in 2010, majoring in Sport and Exercise Science. In 2011 he completed an Honours year researching the effects of exercise induced fatigue on cardiac autonomic control in elite cyclists. The results of this study were published in 2014. Other areas of interest include fatigue monitoring in elite sport, training load quantification, and exercise capacity in populations with chronic conditions. Max has been teaching at the University of South Australia since 2011, and has delivered both tutorials and lectures for the subjects of Exercise Delivery, Exercise Physiology 1 & 2, Human Nutrition, and Introductory Biomechanics. In addition, Max has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, presented at multiple national and international conferences, and has supervised four Honours students to completion. Currently, Max is coordinating the 1st year course 'Functional Anatomy', and is supervising one PhD student and four Honours students, in addition to acting as the High Performance Coordinator for the University of South Australia/Road Home Foundation 'Invictus Pathway Program'.
