Samuel Chalmers

Dr. Samuel Chalmers is a Senior Lecturer in Human Movement at the University of South Australia. His research develops extreme heat policies for sports organizations and injury prevention strategies in youth athletics.

Core investigations include thermoregulation during competition, cooling intervention efficacy, and epidemiological analysis of sports injuries. He partners with FIFA, AFL, Swimming Australia, and Tennis Australia to implement evidence-based policies.

Recent publications establish that water dousing improves running performance without reducing core temperature, identify ankle/ACL injuries as priority areas in women's football, and validate heat safety protocols for international competitions.

Dr. Chalmers serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport and leads injury surveillance for the South Australian National Football League.
