Tony’s main area of research interest is the acute and chronic impact of various forms of stretching and muscular contractions on joint range of motion, muscular force production, and muscle injury. He is currently researching the effects of a novel form of PNF stretching and eccentric exercise on muscle-tendon mechanics, strength, mobility and balance in adult and older clinical populations.
Tony also supervises several postgraduate in related fields examining the impact of eccentric exercise on healthy young adult and older clinical populations.
Tony is also interested in physical therapies addressing neuromuscular and musculoskeletal functional decline in older and clinical populations, and would accept doctoral students in any of these areas.
