Memberships and Affiliations:
External reviewer for: Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise; European Journal of Applied Physiology; Journal of Biomechanics; International Journal of Sports Medicine; Physical Therapy in Sport: Journal of Athletic Training; and Strength and Conditioning Journal.Teaching Areas:
- Human Movement
- Strength and Conditioning
Research areas:
- Kinetics and kinematics of sprinting
- Injury prevention in sport
- Development of strength, power, speed and agility
- Acute and chronic effects of eccentric exercise
Research Summary:
Matt’s research primarily focuses on 1) improving athletic performance using sports biomechanics and strength and conditioning, and 2) reducing the risk of sporting injuries by investigating risk factors and injury prevention methods. Matt has published over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and is a reviewer for 6 international journals.Current Research Projects:
- Sports-related concussions in New Zealand: Costs, incidence, assessment, identification, knowledge and management (with PhD student Doug King).
- Effects of an intermittent sprint protocol on sprint mechanics and isokinetic dynamometry in elite female soccer players (with Masters student Sarah Manson).
