Full Description:: Elite level netball is a non-contact sport played by females that requires players to perform repeated high intensity efforts for up to 60 minutes. It is necessary to investigate the effect of a competitive netball match on fatigue so that appropriate training can be determined for the next match in the subsequent week.

The purpose of this study was to assess the time-course of changes in neuromuscular function and perceptual well-being in elite netball players following a competitive in-season netball match.

Presenter: Vince Kelly holds a conjoint appointment as an Associate Lecturer with the School of Human Movement Studies and also fills the position of High Performance Manager with the UQ Sport Academy. His areas of research interest include quantification and management of training stress, the neuromuscular and hormonal adaptations to exercise, strength and power measurement, ergogenic aids, and strength and conditioning in high performance sport. Vince is currently completing a PhD in exercise physiology at the School of Human Movement Studies.
