David Anthony Greene

David Anthony Greene is a Researcher and National Head of School at the School of Behavioural and Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences at Australian Catholic University. His research focuses on biomechanics, exercise physiology, and public health, with a strong emphasis on bone health, chronic disease management, and the application of technology in healthcare. He has contributed to studies on systemic lupus erythematosus, pediatric obesity interventions, and the use of wearable devices for gait analysis in neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Key research interests include the effects of physical activity on bone strength in adolescents, the design of school-based fitness programs, and the efficacy of telehealth for chronic disease management. His work integrates clinical, biomechanical, and technological approaches to improve health outcomes in diverse populations, including athletes, older adults, and individuals with autoimmune disorders.

Greene has published extensively on topics such as musculoskeletal adaptations in sports, vitamin D supplementation in sports populations, and the biomechanics of athletic movements. His research often involves multidisciplinary collaborations and clinical trials, such as the ADIBOX study examining bone responses to weight loss interventions in obese adolescents.

Advising and grants: While no formal advisees are listed, his work has involved numerous collaborative studies funded by health research organizations. His contributions to systematic reviews and meta-analyses highlight his role in synthesizing evidence for clinical and public health practices.

Labs/teams: He is affiliated with the ADIBOX study team and collaborates with institutions globally, including the University of Poitiers (France) on pediatric obesity protocols and the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports for athletic performance studies.
