Geoffrey Minett

Geoffrey Minett is an Associate Professor in exercise and sports science at QUT's School of Exercise & Nutrition Sciences, leading the Discipline of Sport, Exercise, Health, and Physical Education. He holds ESSA accreditation as an Exercise and Sports Scientist (Level 2) and focuses on interactions between exercise performance and fatigue, blending laboratory investigations (e.g., heat stress effects) with applied fieldwork (e.g., athlete monitoring systems). His work has secured over $1.3M in grants and produced >60 publications.

Education:

• PhD in Exercise Science (Charles Sturt University)
• Bachelor of Exercise Science (Class 1 Hons) (Charles Sturt University)

Research Interests: Dr. Minett explores thermoregulation, passive heating as an exercise mimetic, and fatigue management in extreme environments. His lab develops monitoring systems for athletes and occupational workers. Key themes include:

• Environmental stressors and performance
• Muscle physiology and temperature effects
• Heat acclimation strategies

Grants & Supervision:

• Secured >$1.3M in competitive grants
• Supervised 16 Higher Degree Research students (8 PhD, 8 Masters)
