Grant Landers

Grant Landers is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences at the University of Western Australia. He holds roles such as Director of Staff & Student Experience, SSEH Level 1 Advisor, and UWA Triathlon Coach. His research focuses on Exercise Physiology, particularly in endurance sports and thermoregulation, including topics like pre-cooling strategies, athlete performance in heat, and recovery mechanisms. He has contributed to over 86 publications and led/co-investigated multiple grants, including projects on body composition measurements and swim route optimization. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

Teaching includes SSEH1102 Applied Anatomy & Athletic Performance.

Research Interests: Exercise Physiology with emphasis on endurance sports (triathlon), thermoregulation in extreme conditions, and anthropometry. Key areas include cooling strategies, thermal strain in occupational settings (e.g., mining), and optimizing athletic performance through physiological interventions.

Articles Trends: Recent studies (2024–2025) investigate cooling strategies for endurance athletes, thermal management in surgery, and occupational heat exposure. Earlier work (2018–2020) focused on cognitive performance during exercise, body composition assessment, and strength training benefits for triathletes.

Awards: None explicitly listed.

Advising and Grants: Supervised 9 works; led/co-led 5 grants including body composition innovations (BOD-POD GS-X), swim route optimization, and thermal strain quantification in badminton.

Labs/Teams: Collaborations with the Badminton World Federation and Rottnest Channel Swim Association reflect applied sports research involvement.
