Marc Brown

Marc Brown is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong, affiliated with the School of Medical, Indigenous and Health Sciences. His research focuses on clinical sciences, sports science and exercise, with a particular emphasis on omega-3 fatty acid interventions, exercise physiology, and cardiac rehabilitation. He has contributed to studies on the effects of fish oil supplementation on heart rate and muscle function, as well as the design of eccentric cycling ergometers for clinical applications.

His work spans over two decades, with recent studies exploring the role of eccentric cycling in post-surgical recovery and the metabolic benefits of omega-3 supplementation. He has secured internal grants to develop healthcare simulation labs and investigate chronic kidney disease diagnostics. Marc has supervised five Master’s theses, focusing on topics like eccentric cycling efficacy, omega-3 interventions in aging populations, and exercise efficiency in cardiovascular patients.

Key themes in his articles include optimizing exercise modalities for low-cardiopulmonary demand, improving cardiac rehabilitation protocols, and understanding hydration physiology during exertion. His research bridges clinical practice and exercise science, with applications in both healthy and clinical populations.
