PhD Scholarship: Australian Institute of Sport
Scholarship Description
The research is strategically significant from a number of perspectives. Research partners in this project include the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) funded Australian Centre for Research into Sports Injury and its Prevention (ACRISP), Deakin University and Monash University. Methods in each of the key areas of athlete assessment (athlete monitoring of training and adaptation, injury and illness, training loads, performance) represent sports science and medicine best practice and have potential application in other disciplines and research domains. Data analysis and modelling techniques more typically used in epidemiology and the physical sciences will be utilised to provide new insights into individual management of elite athletes in physically demanding and stressful roles. While the research will focus on elite athletes, it is equally applicable to other occupational roles (e.g. defence, special services, mining).
