For all research in Exercise Science see the SPRINZ website Research areas include: |
|
 |
Strength and ConditioningEndurance, strength and power are important in activities of daily living as well as in sporting performance. We study how best to assess and develop these components to improve performance in many different groups, ranging from youth athletes to elite athletes.
|
 |
Sports KinesiologyWe study motion of the human body during sport. We examine the mechanics of motion with respect to human performance for sports participants from youth athletes to elite athletes.
|
 |
Sports Injury PreventionWe investigate areas of the 10-point plan for injury prevention known as SportSmart, to help reduce the risk of injury to youth athletes to elite athletes.Our main focus areas are injury epidemiology and sports injury biomechanics.
|
 |
Applied Exercise PhysiologyThe Applied Exercise Physiology research team focuses on determining the efficacy of novel physical training and ergogenic interventions to enhance sport performance. We focus on high-intensity and endurance exercise performance as well as intermittent team sport performance. |
 |
Sports Research Design and AnalysisCompetitive sport presents applied scientists with unique challenges. Professor Will Hopkins is actively researching solutions to these challenges and is a world leader in this field.He welcomes collaboration with students and emerging researchers who have an affinity for numbers and a genuine interest in understanding and applying the scientific method to sport. |
 |
Sports AnthropometryWe study the relationship between the size and shape of the human body and sports performance. We use internationally standardised techniques to measure athletes and use calculations of body composition, dimensions, proportion and ratio to help improve sport performance.
|
 |
High Performance Sports ManagementWe investigate important aspects of leadership and management that are responsible for international sporting success. We study the lived experiences of podium performers towards uncovering the essential themes associated with their high performance environments. |
