Biography
Justin Holland is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology in the Sport, Exercise, Health and Physical Education discipline at QUT.Justin undertakes a program of clinically meaningful research focused on exercise and lifestyle interventions in those with chronic disease (rheumatological and oncology) with a direct translational impact on the lives of patients and caregivers. He has developed a unique thematic program of research that consists of translational outcomes that impact on the health and wellbeing of communities. His program of research reinforces and promotes the value of allied health professional practice particularly exercise physiology in disease and lifestyle management which have a direct impact on the lives of patients, community and caregivers.
Justin currently supervises 11 Higher Degree by Research students including PhD and Masters students. Our research group is currently investigating potential reasons for increased rates of falls in people with psoriatic arthritis. We are assessing variables of foot structure, gait, strength and balance to establish potential causative factors for increased risk of falls in those with psoriatic arthritis compared to healthy controls. This is a multidisciplinary project that includes podiatrists, exercise physiologists and rheumatologists.
