Max Andrews

Mr Max Andrews is an Associate Lecturer at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, University of Queensland. He is concurrently pursuing doctoral research through The University of Queensland and Stanford University. His work bridges fundamental muscle physiology with practical injury prevention strategies to enhance human performance.

• Education: Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences (First Class Honours), University of Queensland (2020)

Research Interests: Max’s research focuses on eccentric training and muscle adaptations to reduce hamstring injury risk, alongside exploring coach education and mechanisms to translate sports science into coaching practices. His doctoral work extends these themes, emphasizing biomechanics and performance optimization.

Publication Trends: His recent publications highlight interdisciplinary research spanning biomechanics (hamstring injury prevention, cricket fast bowling), sports coaching (shared leadership in elite women’s cricket), and sports psychology (burnout and self-determination theory). These works demonstrate a consistent focus on integrating physiological insights with practical applications in sports settings.

Teaching Roles: Max teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in sports science, developing the elite athlete, and sports technology and analytics, combining empirical research with pedagogical innovation.
