Dr. Hunter Bennett is a Lecturer in Exercise and Sport Science in the School of Health Sciences. Hunter completed his PhD in 2020, with his research exploring how movement assessment can help guide exercise prescription, and subsequently enhance functionally relevant training outcomes.
Prior to this, Hunter completed his degree in Applied Sciences (Human Movement and Health Studies) in 2012, majoring in Sport and Exercise Science. In 2014 he completed a Masters Degree in Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning), before undertaking an Honours year that resulted in the development of an aerobic exercise test for active duty fire service personnel. Other areas of interest include all aspects of exercise prescription, with emphasis on unique modes of training that can elicit functionally relevant outcomes in both healthy and clinical populations.
