EXS208 Health, Fitness and Performance Assessment

EXS318 Exercise Programming and Prescription

EXS390 Exercise Science Practicum

My research interests are primarily focused on Exercise and Chronic Diseases, in particular Exercise and Prostate Cancer.

In addition to this my research interests also include hydration and thermoregulatory responses to exercise in the heat

Feasibility and safety of maximal exercise testing in men receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Cardiovascular Capacity, Vascular function, abdominal obesity and physical function during acute and chronic androgen suppression: a cross sectional investigation

A 6 month randomized controlled trial of exercise in prostate cancer patients receiving ADT treatment: effects on cardiorespiratory capacity, physical function, vascular function and resting metabolism.
