Jeff Coombes Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society 2016 Annual Scientific Meeting

Jeff Coombes

Jeff received his PhD from The University of Florida and has been at The University of Queensland since 2000. His research interests focus on determining the optimal exercise prescription for improving health. With theoretical backgrounds in biochemistry and physiology he conducts human studies and basic science projects. He has published over 200 articles (H Index 40) and his findings have emphasised the importance of cardiorespiratory fitness for health benefits and many of his current projects are using high intensity interval training to improve fitness and investigate outcomes. The basic science projects are identifying the mechanisms that explain the health benefits of exercise and include work in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems at cellular and molecular levels.
