PUBLISHED: Extending work tolerance time in the heat in protective ensembles with pre- and per-cooling methods

Not all personal cooling methods are appropriate for use when wearing protective clothing

PUBLISHED: Could Heat Therapy Be an Effective Treatment for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases?

The emerging evidence is compelling that passive heat therapy maybe beneficial for sufferers of neurodegenerative diseases.

PUBLISHED: Reliability of 10 and 20 km cycling TT's in cyclists, runners and team sport athletes

Familiarisation considerably improves the reliability of pacing strategy adopted by recreational runners and team sport athletes across these distances.

PUBLISHED: The effects of daily cold-water recovery and post-exercise hot-water immersion on training load tolerance

Cold-water recovery may negatively affect training load during 5 days of heat-based training

Postgraduate Positions Available

E3 Lab masters and doctorate opportunities studying human performance in the Heat, Cold or Altitude. Contact Ian Stewart or Geoffrey Minett for more information.

The EXERCISE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ERGONOMICS LAB comprises a dedicated research facility located on QUT’s Kelvin Grove Campus.

Through the use of applied science, to better understand human physiology, the research team are working to improve the performance of athletes and safety of workers in environmental extremes.
