My thesis investigates the effect of exercise for the management of cardiometabolic health in older adults.  I am conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literature around progressive resistance training and high-intensity interval training. I am also evaluating the existing clinical service at the UNSW Lifestyle Clinic with the aim of translating research to practice. The Lifestyle Clinic will also facilitate my final project, the Diabetes Clinic, investigating the feasibility and acceptability of a group type 2 diabetes service for older adults with type 2 diabetes.
