Exercise Physiology

Andrew has been an exercise science practitioner for 17 years, with a wide-ranging background covering exercise prescription and delivery, teaching and research roles, cardiac physiology, athlete conditioning, athlete talent identification and corporate health. He has been teaching at UNSW since 2013. Andrew completed his PhD at UNSW in 2014. His research focuses on chronic fatigue, in particular a prominent characteristic of the disorder - the worsening of fatigue and symptoms after doing physical or mental activity. Andrew analysed this 'post-exertional exacerbation' phenomenon in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), using aerobic exercise or simulated driving as a 'stressor', in an effort to understand the biological basis for the disorder. The research covered a wide range of biological systems, included analysis of peripheral gene expression, autonomic nervous system function, cognitive function, and sleep and physical activity patterns.
