Alex Shaykevich

Alex Shaykevich serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia, where his research focuses on exercise physiology and rehabilitation science. His work examines how environmental factors like hypoxia affect human performance and recovery.

His primary research interests include:

• Hypoxia and exercise physiology
• Biofeedback applications in rehabilitation
• Perceived exertion measurement
• Ventilatory threshold analysis
• Music therapy for neurological conditions
• Heart rate monitoring during exercise

Dr. Shaykevich's recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on heart-rate clamped cycling under hypoxic conditions, investigating both physiological responses and subjective sensations during exercise. His research combines quantitative measurements with qualitative assessments to provide comprehensive insights into exercise performance limitations.

His significant research contributions include:

• Development of music-based interventions for neurological rehabilitation
• Methodologies for accurately clamping heart rate during cycling
• Analysis of hypoxia effects across different exercise intensities

Dr. Shaykevich has secured research funding for neurorehabilitation projects:

• 'A music based mobile gait entrainment instrument for Neurotrauma injury rehabilitation' (2017-2018)
• 'A tailored music therapy and real-time bio feedback mobile phone app to promote motor rehabilitation following Neurotrauma' (2016-2018)
