Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Research Theme

Female student on running test

Welcome to the Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Research (PASER) theme. Our members conduct impactful research focused on:

  1. Enhancing participation in physical activity, sport and exercise
  2. Optimising physical, psychological, and social outcomes through physical activity participation
  3. Improving the performance of athletes competing at all standards.

PASER is dedicated to providing a supportive, collaborative, and high-performing research environment. We work to support our members’ productivity, research quality, partnerships, and career progression.

PASER launched in October 2022 and is led by Associate Professor Christian Swann and Dr. Kyle Bennett.
