About André Nelson
André moved to Melbourne from Wellington, New Zealand in 2010.
Prior to joining VU, André completed an undergraduate degree and Honours degree encompassing molecular biology, and health, sport, and exercise sciences. He completed his PhD in 2014.
His current research interests include youth athletic development (specifically, youth resistance training); and muscle molecular and performance adaptations to resistance training and variations, such as eccentrics and quasi-isometrics, and training in the heat.
André's PhD research looked at the impact of post-exercise protein-leucine ingestion on subsequent endurance exercise performance and systemic and skeletal muscle responses associated with recovery and adaptation.
André has more than 15 years experience teaching and supervising students in nutrition, biological and exercise/sport science streams in New Zealand and here at VU.
In his previous role with the New Zealand Academy of Sport (now High Performance Sport NZ) he trained age-grade up to senior athletes at club through to elite (national representative, Olympian) level.
