Biography
Dr Anthony Shield’s research interests are
- the neuromusclar adaptations to resistance training
- the applications of eccentric resistance training to injury prevention and performance enhancement.
The current focus is hamstring injury which involves collaboration with Morgan Williams from the Australian Catholic University (Melbourne campus). Dr Shield and his team are currently investigating the effects of prior hamstring injury on hamstring muscle activation and architecture.
He currently teaches functional anatomy (HMB274) and resistance training (HMB282) subjects.
