Associate Professor Geoffrey Minett

Dr Minett maintains research and professional interests in understanding the interactions between exercise performance and fatigue. This work includes laboratory based investigations, where environmental stressors are used to exacerbate underlying mechanisms, and applied field work, where the development of monitoring systems is key.
