I have a keen and active interest in exercise physiology, particularly relating to how humans interact with the environment. I have a research and industry focus in the development of extreme heat policies in sport and exercise. This covers both youth and adult involvement, and community through to elite competitions. I am engaged in extreme heat policy work that is funded by the NHMRC, and industry partnerships with FIFA, AFL, and Tennis Australia.
Secondly, I research injury prevention in youth sports, ranging from injury surveillance projects through to testing the efficacy of injury screening tools. I am engaged in a long-standing partnership with the Under 18 South Australian National Football League.
