Dr Jordan Fox

Lecturer, Exercise Science

School of Allied Health and Human Performance

College of Health


I am an experienced early career academic with my research primarily focusing on how how traning and game demands and sleep impact performance in team sport athletes. I have a strong interest in the application of player monitoring for basketball and other court based sports.
I also have considerable experience in research methods and rural health research.
I am an Accredited Exercise Scientist and Sports Scientist (Level 1) with Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
