Humphries, Brendan - Central Queensland University - School of Medical and Applied Sciences

个人简介

Dr. Brendan Humphries is Head of Programs, Medical and Exercise Sciences in the School of Medical and Applied Sciences. He completed undergraduate degrees in Exercise and Sport Science from Northern Rivers College, and, Human Movement Science from the University of New England. Brendan then went on to obtain his Honours degree in Human Movement Science at the University of New England, investigating the enhancement of muscular power and dynamic human performance using loaded plyometrics. Following this Brendan commenced postgraduate study at Southern Cross University and was awarded a PhD in 1997. Brendan examined the effect of short term high intensity strength training on vertebral bone mineral density, muscular strength and calcium turnover in 45 to 65 year old women. After commencing a full-time lecturing position in Exercise and Sport Sciences Brendan also completed a Graduate Certificate in Flexible Learning at CQUniversity.

研究领域

Brendan has a broad range of interests in exercise and sport science research domain. Focal points of Brendan’s research include the development of muscular strength and power, exercise and bone health, neuromuscular and skeletal adaptations, and, aging and physical activity. In addition, Brendan is interested in examining the effects of vibration on muscle, bone and performance changes. Brendan has also spent time investigating the prevalence of strength training activity in Australian populations.
