Teaching Commitments
Peter Freeman teaches in the areas of human physiology, human biosciences,
exercise physiology and sports sciences.
Teaching Commitments
Peter is the unit advisor for the following units:
BIO2742 was developed and delivered by Peter, have been incorporated
into the Bachelor of Sport and Outdoor Education program. Peter also contributes into a number of other units.
Research Interests
Peter has previously conducted research in aspects of muscle physiology
and in the exercise physiology of athletes, with an emphasis on canoe
and kayak paddlers. His current interests are in the area of physiological
characteristics contributing to athletic performance, exercise and health
in the workplace, and in the teaching and learning of physiology.
Having had interests in environmental issues for many years, Mr Freeman
has applied his training in the scientific method to matters involved
in catchment management. He is actively involved with the West Gippsland
Catchment Management Authority.
