James completed a B.Ed. in Physical Education at Ballarat University in 1991. From P.E. teaching and working in gymnasiums he began a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology at Griffith University and began his PhD with Griffith in 2002 investigating the effects of age on fatigue and recovery.
Career Summary
As the Exercise Science course coordinator James provides information and administrative support current and future students undertaking the Bachelor of Exercise Science. He is a board member of the Tasmanian Branch of the Australian Association for Exercise and Sports Science
Research Interests
James has a research interest in the area of ageing and exercise, particularly the effect of ageing on muscle damage and recovery from exercise. He is interested in how life-long participation in physical training influences the way that the body responds to and recovers from intense exercise, including how our perception of recovery from exercise is influenced by ageing.
At present James is involved with collaborative research projects and supervises PhD candidates undertaking research in cardiac rehabilitation (Launceston General Hospital), and in athlete talent identification and development (Tasmanian Institute of Sport). He is also co-supervising a student investigating the effects of habitual activity and ageing on muscle mass and strength at the Menzies Research Centre. Other recent research has involved an evaluation of pre-exercise health screening systems for use in fitness centre environments and the efficacy of exercise professionals in the treatment of patients with chronic lifestyle diseases.
