About Matthew Clarkson
Matthew is the Head of Program for Allied Health and the course chair for the Master of Clinical Exercise Science and Rehabilitation in the College of Sport, Health and Engineering.
Matthew's research interests are in the areas of blood flow restriction exercise, and exercise for patients with chronic kidney disease (particularly during dialysis). He is also a member of the Global Renal Exercise Network who research and advocate for the engagement of renal patients in physical activity and exercise to optimise health outcomes. He also has experience in the supervision of Masters and HDR students.
Matthew is an accredited exercise physiologist and previously a strength and conditioning coach with 13 years' industry experience. He has worked in both high-performance sport and as director of a private practice allied health clinic in Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs. He is currently on the board of directors for the Council of Heads of Exercise, Sport, and Movement Sciences (CHESMS), as well as the board of the Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Victorian state chapter, and he is also an ESSA course accreditation reviewer.
Matthew has a passion for building inter-collaborative partnerships in both healthcare provision and research and is always open to conversation around new ideas in this space.

Teaching activities & experience
Matthew is the course chair for the Master of Clinical Exercise Science and Rehabilitation (AMEP). Within AMEP, Matthew teaches SCL6104 Clinical Exercise Practice, preparing students in AMEP for placement and ethical and professional interactions with clients. He also teaches SCL6202 Exercise Assessments and Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions, exploring a broad array of assessments and exercise interventions for the rehabilitation of clinical conditions and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system.
Matthew is also the unit convenor for the two capstone units in the Bachelor of Exercise Science (Clinical Practice) - AHE3115 Clinical Exercise Practice 1; and SCL3002 Sport and Exercise Science Capstone. These units are the culmination of the learnings and experience obtained by students across their undergraduate exercise science degree, and help prepare students for the transition from university to industry.
