The Exercise Physiology Laboratory conducts research to investigate the influence of habitual exercise on cardio-metabolic health and also on the promoters and inhibitors of physical work tolerance. The experiment trials are done mainly on humans and are conducted in ergometric laboratory, biochemistry laboratory and field environments.
The Research Assistant will work with the research team on the planning and execution of projects undertaken by the lab. The RA will also be handling the procurement and maintenance of the lab assets. The RA will focus on building capabilities to push the frontiers of research in Exercise, Health and Ageing, and in the physiological bases for physical work tolerance in firefighters.
