Rate My Professor Georgia Black

Dr. Georgia Black is a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, University of Queensland, advancing knowledge in Health Science through her teaching and research in exercise physiology and athletic performance. She completed her Doctor of Philosophy in Sport Science and Bachelor (Honours) of Sport Science at Australian Catholic University, holding additional qualifications in exercise science (BExSci). Transitioning from her doctoral work at Australian Catholic University, she now holds her lecturing position at UQ, where she coordinates and delivers courses such as NUTR1023 Health & Fitness Through Diet & Exercise, BIOL1900 Biophysical Development, Measurement and Assessment, and practicums including Exercise for Healthy Populations Practicum and Major Practicum in Exercise and Sports Science.

Dr. Black's research specializations focus on the female athlete, investigating methods to maintain and enhance physical qualities, the role of a multidisciplinary approach in exercise performance, benchmark physical qualities and their changes across competitive seasons, bone mineral density via resistance training, and training impacts on bone mineral density over competitive cycles. Her influential publications include 'Testing and profiling athletes: recommendations for test selection, implementation, and maximizing information' (2024), 'The influence of contextual factors on running performance in female Australian Football match-play' (2019), 'A skill profile of the national women's Australian football league (AFLW)' (2019), 'Physical fitness and peak running periods during female Australian football match-play' (2018), 'Applied sport science of Australian football: a systematic review' (2018), 'The influence of physical qualities on activity profiles of female Australian football match play' (2018), 'The influence of rotations on match running performance in female Australian football midfielders' (2018), 'Automatic detection of pitching and throwing events in baseball with inertial measurement sensors' (2017), and 'Monitoring workload in throwing-dominant sports: a systematic review' (2016), alongside studies on high-intensity efforts and match play in rugby league and Australian football from 2014 to 2016.
