About James Broatch
Dr James Broatch is an early-career researcher with a diverse background in applied and mechanistic exercise/muscle physiology, molecular biology, and vascular physiology. A key focus of his current research is to examine how exercise regulates blood flow, and to translate this new knowledge into recommendations for more individualised exercise prescriptions to better improve health and human performance
After being awarded his PhD in 2016, James has worked on multiple projects, including a 3-month international visiting research fellowship at the French Institute of Sport (INSEP). In 2016, James was recruited as a joint research fellow between Victoria University/Institute for Health and Sport (iHeS) and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). He is currently a review editor for Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, and a member of the Victoria University Low-Risk Human Ethics Committee.
James has collaborated with numerous domestic and international universities and institutes, published research from funded collaborations with industry partners (e.g., 2XU), and given multiple media interviews translating the importance of his research findings to the community (> 20 media outputs in print, radio, and television). In March 2020, his research concerning post-exercise physiological adaptations to extreme temperatures was featured on ABC’s ‘Sporty’ podcast.
