Opportunity description

Deakin University is offering a PhD scholarship to initiate and conduct research on the topic "Effects of electronic bikes (ebikes) on physical activity and cardiometabolic health in at-risk populations". The proposed PhD project will investigate the potential of a technology-based intervention to initiate and maintain physical activity for people at risk of diabetes. This will involve a review of literature, a trial of the intervention, and examining mechanistic effects of the intervention. Specifically, the PhD will explore the potential effects of an eBike intervention on levels of physical activity, cardio-respiratory fitness, and metabolic health; physiological mechanisms will also be examined. The PhD will also investigate the use of smartphone applications to capture ebike use and habitual activity.
