We integrate knowledge and methodologies from sport science, physiology, strength and conditioning, psychology, nutrition, performance analysis, skill acquisition, and data science, to enhance the capabilities of athletes and other high-performing individuals.
UCRISE research is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in nature as it combines experts in all facets of sport including physiology, psychology, biomechanics, strength and conditioning, coaching science, performance analysis, performance nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, industrial design, data and mathematical modelling and statistics, graphic and visual design, computer engineering as well as sport management, ethics, law and governance.
Sport and exercise medicine
We focus on injury prevention and athlete availability programs, with our collaboratives according to UCRISE leading industry-partnership doctoral student programs.
Environmental physiology
Environmental physiology research at UCRISE examines the mechanisms that mediate health and performance in adverse environments: primarily heat and altitude.
Active brain
The active brain theme at UCRISE investigates interrelationships between human movement and the brain, seeking to optimise health and performance.
Sport integrity
UCRISE uses evidence-based research to assist in preventing and managing integrity issues, including match-manipulation, anti-doping, vulnerabilities, welfare, bullying and harassment.
Applied biomechanics
A home to a growing group of researchers who use state of the art biomechanical methodologies and techniques to better understand human movement and performance.
HDR research projects
UCRISE is proud of the many University of Canberra PhD students that study through the institute, contributing to the our distinguished research output.
