Exercise Physiology for the forgotten many IN-PERSON EVENT

Exercise Physiology for the forgotten many: challenging assumptions in life and through science

When we think of exercise physiology, it is generally in relation to high performance athletes pushing the boundaries of human capability. In his Inaugural Professorial Lecture, Dan Gordon will explore how these principles have been adopted to challenge dogma, misconceptions and assumptions for the forgotten many.

Stemming from an initial fascination of what limits cardiorespiratory fitness in a healthy population, Professor Gordon will consider how he has adapted these high-performance physiological principles to support the Down syndrome, female-athlete and diabetic communities. Professor Gordon will also reflect on how his personal journey has mirrored his academic career, challenging assumptions as to what is possible for a person with a disability.
