Biography
Harry Banyard is a senior lecturer in exercise and sports science at Swinburne University of Technology. Prior to becoming a lecturer at Swinburne, Harry was the athlete development manager at the West Australian Football Commission, and completed his PhD at Edith Cowan University on the topic of velocity-based training: monitoring, implementation and effects on strength and power.
His research focus is to improve exercise training & monitoring methods in different populations (youth, adults, older adults, athletes, astronauts).
Some of his current research areas include: velocity-based training, optimal exercise for astronauts, sprint & jump force-velocity profiling & training, fatigue & barbell movement tracking, exercise & its effect on depression & anxiety, & motivational strategies to increase physical activity levels.
