Brendan Scott

Brendan received his PhD from the University of Newcastle in 2016, which investigated the effects of hypoxia on responses to resistance exercise. He has published >45 scientific articles, focused on exercise with systemic hypoxia (altitude) and localised hypoxia (blood flow restriction), as well as optimising methods to monitor athletic training. Brendan has consulted as a sports scientist with elite athletes and officials from a range of sports (including rugby league, Australian rules football, soccer, elite powerlifting), and his work has been used to develop best-practice guidelines for blood flow restriction exercise in elite sporting environments. Brendan is currently a Senior Research Fellow (Exercise Science) at Murdoch University, and holds accreditation as a Level 2 Sports Scientist with ESSA, and Level 2 Strength and Conditioning Coach with the ASCA.
