About Steven O'Bryan
Dr O'Bryan received his PhD from Victoria University where he investigated the neuromuscular aspects which influence the capacity for individuals to generate force and power.
Specifically, his research explores the changes that occur within the brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle in response to acute exercise (i.e. fatigue) and exercise training (i.e. adaptation). In this way, he aims to provide innovative practical strategies that facilitate positive health outcomes, rehabilitative goals and sport practices.
Dr O'Bryan has also been involved in clinical research, where he investigated the neural pathways responsible for voluntary motor control in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
Dr O'Bryan specialises in a number of experimental techniques, including electrical and magnetic nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation and surface electromyography. He also has expertise in evaluating skeletal muscle force and power generating capacities.
Dr O'Bryan is the current coordinator of the Exercise Physiology unit offered in a number of the sport and clinical exercise science related degrees. He is also a foundation member in the First Year College.
Qualifications
- Doctor of Philosophy
- Bachelor of Applied Science (Hons)
