Dr. Shelley Keating is a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Physiology at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, University of Queensland. She is affiliated with multiple research centers including the Centre for Cardiovascular Health and Research, Centre for Community Health and Wellbeing, and Centre for Research on Exercise, Physical Activity and Health. As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with over 15 years of experience, her work bridges clinical practice and academic research in metabolic health.
Dr. Keating's research focuses on exercise metabolism and body composition, with particular emphasis on developing and implementing lifestyle interventions for people with obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and type 2 diabetes. Her work spans from basic exercise physiology to digital health applications, examining how physical activity can be optimized for metabolic conditions across diverse populations and settings. She has been instrumental in developing evidence-based guidelines for physical activity in special populations including those with liver disease and during pregnancy.
Analysis of Dr. Keating's recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a strong focus on translating exercise science into clinical practice, with increasing emphasis on digital health solutions for chronic disease management. Her work examines exercise interventions for metabolic conditions through multiple lenses including feasibility, safety, adherence, and efficacy across diverse populations. Notably, she has contributed significantly to understanding exercise interventions for NAFLD/MAFLD, with multiple publications on aerobic exercise, high-intensity interval training, and their effects on liver histology and metabolic outcomes.
Dr. Keating has secured funding from various sources including Diabetes Australia Research Limited, Defence Health Foundation Grants for Medical Research, and the Australian Government Department of Health for projects examining high-intensity exercise for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, exercise for coronary heart disease rehabilitation, and physical activity guidelines during pregnancy. Her research often involves multidisciplinary collaborations spanning clinical exercise physiology, hepatology, endocrinology, and digital health.
