Welcome to the Research section of the ACTIVE (Australia-China Collaborative Training
Initiative in Exercise) project.

About Our Research

At ACTIVE, we believe in the transformative power of research to drive innovation, enhance performance, and promote health and well-being in the field of Sports Science.

Our research endeavours are at the forefront of exploring the intricacies of human movement, performance optimisation, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. With a focus on fostering collaboration between Australian and Chinese institutions, our projects span a wide array of disciplines within Sports Science, including biomechanics, exercise physiology, nutrition, sports psychology, and sports medicine.

Through cutting-edge research initiatives, we aim to address pressing challenges in the realm of sports and exercise, while also unlocking new opportunities for advancement and discovery. By leveraging the expertise of leading scholars and practitioners from both countries, we strive to push the boundaries of knowledge and pave the way for ground breaking advancements in athletic performance, health promotion, and sports-related injury management.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our collaborative approach, where
multidisciplinary teams work synergistically to tackle complex research questions and
translate findings into tangible benefits for athletes, coaches, healthcare professionals, and the broader community. By bridging the gap between academia and real-world practice, we aim to drive positive change and make meaningful contributions to the field of Sports Science on a global scale.


We invite you to explore our ongoing research projects, delve into our publications and insights, and join us on our journey to unlock the full potential of sports and exercise for individuals and societies alike.

ACTIVE Research Symposium

The ACTIVE Research Symposium is a key event in the ACTIVE Research Program, featuring participation from 8 leading universities in sports and exercise science from both China and Australia. During the symposium, attendees will have the opportunity to meet senior representatives from these 16 universities, who will provide detailed presentations on their institutions’ achievements in teaching, competition, and research in the field of sports and exercise science. Participants can engage with these representatives through an online Q&A session, allowing them to gather more detailed information about each university. Interested students can then apply for subsequent exchange activities.
