More than 50 participants from universities around Australia and overseas are expected to attend The Future of Fatigue symposium hosted by Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst between Monday 22 and Wednesday 24 August. Conference chair and Associate Dean of Research for CSU’s Faculty of Education, Professor Frank Marino, said, “Fatigue is central to how ordinary people manage their daily activities, and to how athletes perform and recover in any sport, particularly the elite. This symposium will discuss the latest research and developments in the field, and will help to define research areas that could increase human capacity for exertion and how we recover from it. The University’s School of Human Movement Studies is at the forefront of this research. Following the success of the first symposium in 2009, the School has attracted the best speakers in the field and will generate research for years to come.” Presentations at the symposium will examine such issues as muscle wasting disorders, neurophysiology, older athletes, cycling, and decision making by athletes and umpires.
