Today's athletes are a marvel of evolution - their stamina a product of modern training and deep understanding of physiology - or is it? Over 10 years of research, Charles Sturt University's (CSU) Associate Professor Frank Marino has found stamina is closely related to the function of the brain and central nervous system. His public lecture on Wednesday 23 August will discuss modern theories on human endurance and limits of human physiology. His presentation will interest sportspeople, the health professions and anyone with an interest in sport and human performance. Professor Marino is Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology and Head of CSU's School of Human Movement. The lecture will start at 6pm in the Nowik Lecture Theatre, Guinea St, Albury.
