Departmental Seminar



Tuesday 28 May 2013
Time: 1-2pm
Venue: D’Ath Lecture Theatre, First Floor, Hercus Building

Dr Justin Keogh Bond University Gold Coast, Queensland
" Weight loss in older adults benefits of exercise"

Dr Keogh's research focuses on understanding the acute stresses, and the chronic adaptations resulting from a range of physical activities. His research focuses on athletic populations and older adults, where both general and specific therapeutic physical activity may have differing effects and various motives and barriers to continual participation.
