Roger Eston

University of South Australia

Roger Eston's research contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of human physiology, particularly in the fields of exercise science and physical performance. Studies examining cardiac structure and function in elite athletes compared to the general population shed light on the physiological adaptations underlying high-performance capabilities. Additionally, research on Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE) tests has improved predictive models for peak oxygen uptake in children and adults, informing the development of effective exercise interventions. Eston's work also explores the reliability and validity of various exercise tests, including exergaming and cardiorespiratory fitness assessments, which have important implications for optimizing physical performance and rehabilitation outcomes.
