Overview
Research expertise
Our interdisciplinary and international research agenda seeks to understand, intervene and improve the lives of those involved in sport and physical activity from grassroots to performance.

- influence health promotion and rehabilitation through sport, exercise and physical activity
- promote non-linear approaches to pedagogy in sport, exercise and physical activity, and their application in coach development
- further enhance our understanding of participation, identity and social justice in sport, exercise and physical activity.
