Advance the field of exercise and sports science through PhD-level research.
Opportunities exist to begin doctoral studies in exercise science, physical activity, and nutrition. Research may focus on epidemiological, behavioral, and social science investigations of activity patterns across populations and specific groups, along with examinations of muscle and bone metabolism and muscular physiology.
Additional research domains encompass movement analysis and athletic performance, with emphasis on motor skill development, perception-action relationships, movement efficiency, and senior fitness.
Nutrition-related research involves assessing food sources, sports nutrition strategies, and diet-disease connections, particularly concerning cardiovascular conditions, obesity, diabetes, and bone health.
Deakin currently supports approximately 1600 postgraduate researchers—bright minds leveraging our state-of-the-art facilities, collaborative networks, specialized research centers, and outstanding academic reputation.
