Session 7: Blood flow restriction exercise training: Progressing the silver bullet to support muscle health and fitness in low functioning populations.
Join us online for our seventh session of the Faculty of Health’s International Research Partnerships Colloquium Series 2024.
Each month we will feature one of our major international partners, with presentations from a Deakin and partner researcher on their latest collaborative work. These 50-minute Zoom sessions (20-minute presentation plus 30-minute Q&A) will highlight the great research being progressed within our strategic partnerships. They provide an opportunity for all staff, HDR and other research students to learn more about our major international partners, the key researchers involved and the opportunities that exist to engage.
Following the success of our event in July, this month’s session will feature our collaboration with Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India.

Speakers
Associate Professor Stuart Warmington
Stuart Warmington is an associate professor in exercise physiology and current Associate Head of School (Teaching and Learning) in Deakin’s School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences. Trained as a muscle physiologist at The University of Melbourne, he co-leads the Melbourne Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Exercise Group and is a founding member of the International BFR Consortium. His current research focuses on BFR exercise as an emerging alternative and adjunct to common exercise therapies applicable to populations with limited capacity to engage with traditional heavy resistance training, with a particular interest in emerging technologies to improve access to BFR exercise.
Tulasiram Bommasamudram
Tulasiram Bommasamudram is a certified exercise physiologist currently serving in the Department of Exercise and Sports Science as an assistant professor at Manipal College of Health Professions, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), India. He is also pursuing a cotutelle PhD between MAHE and Deakin University. His research focuses on blood flow restriction (BFR) and exercise, particularly aimed at individuals with limited fitness and those who find traditional exercise routines complex. His work aims to develop accessible and effective exercise strategies to improve health and fitness in these populations using BFR.
