Michael WR Holmes
Mike Holmes is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Neuromuscular Mechanics and Ergonomics at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Mike completed a Bachelor of Kinesiology (Honours) and a Master of Science (MSc. Biomechanics) from Memorial University. He obtained a PhD in Biomechanics from McMaster University and completed a one year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo.
Combining neuroscience and biomechanics, his work aims to better understand how people become injured at work. The focus of his research program is to better understand work-related upper extremity disorders by identifying mechanisms of injury and pain related to the neuromuscular and biomechanical properties of muscles and ligaments. Using laboratory based techniques, including electromyography, motion capture, electrical stimulation, medical imaging and computer modelling, his fundamental approach leads to workplace applications and investigations.

Mr. Faizan Zaffar Kashoo is affiliated with the University of Majma'ah's Department of Applied Medical Sciences. He is currently serving in the role of lecturer. He has published numerous articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals and presented scientific papers worldwide. Because of the contributions and active association with various societies and academies. Subject-matter experts all over the world acknowledge him. His contributions are recognized by numerous prestigious awards, including the best inventor award at the 43rd inventors meeting in Geneva. Clinical and scientific research interests of Dr. Faizan Zaffar Kashoo include stroke rehabilitation, Bell's palsy, neurorehabilitation, telerehabilitation, and transcranial brain stimulation.
Justin WL Keogh
A/Prof Keogh's primary research interests focus on the role of muscular hypertrophy, strength and power in functional performance; and how to optimise the transfer from training via motor learning principles. Portions of this research focus on strength and power sports such as strongman, powerlifting, rugby and Australian rules football. Considerable research also focuses on older adults with chronic diseases/geriatric conditions e.g. cancer and sarcopenia, with prostate cancer and residential aged care (nursing homes) being a focus. Some of the older adult research also uses quantitative and qualitative approaches to examine the perceived barriers, facilitators, risks and benefits of exercise in these chronic disease groups.
Hugo A. Kerhervé
I am a sport and exercise scientist with a multidisciplinary background in exercise physiology, biomechanics and motor control.
I am interested in multifactorial approaches to human acute and chronic adaptation to various stresses, through the study of:
- the factors of performance in individual and team sports in participants with and without disabilities;
- the human-equipment and human-environment interface in performance and injury prevention;
- exercise interventions for health and well-being throughout life and across cultures;
- age-specific and sex-specific factors of cardiovascular, biomechanical and neuromuscular adaptation.
Selina Khoo
Selina Khoo is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Science, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. Her research is related to participation of sports and physical activity for various populations, including older adults, persons with disabilities, women, and cancer survivors. This includes determining prevalence of physical activity, motives for participation, and interventions to increase physical activity. She also examines various aspects of disability sport, including accessibility, barriers and facilitators to participation, and media coverage. Selina is currently the country contact for Malaysia on the Global Observatory for Physical Activity and Vice President of the Asian Society for Adapted Physical Education and Exercise.
Andrew P Lavender
Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Federation University Australia. Dr Lavender completed a BSc and a MSc in Sport Science at Edith Cowan University and PhD at Yokohama City University. He is currently teaching applied research for exercise science and motor control and conducting research in exercise for healthy ageing, exercise induced muscle damage and eccentric training and sport related concussion and sub-concussion.

Dr. Levine is a Professor and the Walter M. Cline Chair of Excellence in Physical Therapy at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He is an adjunct professor at the University Of Tennessee College Of Veterinary Medicine and North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, he is board certified as a specialist in orthopedics by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties and is also certified in dry needling. Dr. Levine has been working and conducting research in many areas with an emphasis in veterinary physical rehabilitation and is co-director of the University of Tennessee certificate program in canine rehabilitation. He is a co-editor of multiple books including “Canine Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy”, “Essential Facts of Physiotherapy in Dogs and Cats”, and Gait Analysis: An Introduction. He continues to practice in canine rehabilitation and human physical therapy in addition to his University position. He has presented at over 100 conferences, and has lectured in more than a dozen countries. Dr. Levine has published in numerous peer-reviewed journals with over 75 publications. His latest research focuses on bacterial contamination in medical equipment, animal assisted therapy, and laser to improve muscle endurance.
Li Li
Dr. Li Li is Professor of Kinesiology within the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology at Georgia Southern University. His research is focused on the neuromuscular coordination of human postural control, especially postural stability during standing and walking.
Dr. Li's research interests include:
- Biomechanics of human movement
- Aging
- Running injuries
- The effects of certain pathologies on human movement (especially - peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, and cerebral palsy)
- Gait analysis
Jeremy P. Loenneke
Dr. Loenneke is the director of the Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory and his research group’s primary focus is on skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise with and without the application of blood flow restriction. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and a member of the American Physiological Society.
Frank JH Lu
Frank J.H. Lu PhD. is Professor of the Graduate Institute of Sport Coaching Science, Chinese Culture University. Professor Lu completed his doctoral degree in 1998 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). He is the former president of the Society for Sport and Exercise Psychology of Taiwan (SSEPT) from 2005 to 2007, and an active member in the international sport psychology bodies, such as Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP), North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA), European Federation of Sport Psychology (FEPSAC) and Asian South Pacific Association of Sport Psychology (ASPASP).
