Dr Tim Hartwig

I am currently a full-time Lecturer in the School of Exercise Science, Strathfield. I am committed to teaching, clinical practice and researching within the areas of Exercise and Sports Science. I have taught and worked in many sub disciplines of Exercise and Sports Science including Anatomy, Exercise Physiology, Motor Control & Learning, Exercise Programming, Clinical Exercise Rehabilitation, Functional Anatomy, and Biomechanics. I completed school in South Africa in 2000, and then moved to Australia where I completed a Bachelor of Exercise Science (Hons) in 2004. In 2010 I was awarded a PhD following my doctoral studies on 'training and overtraining in adolescent rugby union players'.
