Neil's main research interests is the management of chronic disease with isometric handgrip exercise (IRT) and high intensity interval exercise (HIIT). Neil has worked extensively with people with heart failure and type II diabetes. Neil has also completed several meta-analyses of the various benefits of exercise training in patients with chronic disease such as heart failure and renal failure. It is hoped that a rehabilitation clinic will be developed at UNE so the local community can access the benefits of regular physical exercise.
