Paul Goods
PhD

I am a Lecturer and researcher in Sport & Exercise Physiology at Murdoch University. Prior to commencing my role here in 2021, I spent over 10 years working in high performance sport, with 5 seasons as a strength and conditioning coach at the East Perth Football Club during my time as a PhD scholar with the West Coast Eagles Football Club followed by nearly 6 years as an applied sport scientist at the WA Institute of Sport working with a variety of Olympic sport programs. I have remained actively involved in the WA Institute of Sport High Performance Research Centre where we conduct and supervise applied sports research in conjunction with WAIS sport programs and University partners. My primary research interests are related to the applied use of hypoxia to enhance human health and performance. I have an established publication record in the use of hypoxic training strategies focused on sport performance and a developing research stream on the clinical use of hypoxia to support healthy ageing. Within the high-performance sport sector, I am also a passionate mentor of several industry-embedded higher degrees students who have explored applied research topics such as the use of hot environments, repeated-sprint training, ergogenic aids, and training program design.

My primary research interests are related to the applied use of hypoxia, with a focus on sport performance and healthy ageing. Within the high-performance sport field, I have also explored topics such as the use of hot environments, repeated-sprint training, ergogenic aids, & training program design. Additionally, I am developing a research stream into the clinical applications of hypoxia as an innovative exercise therapy to assist with healthy ageing.
