Bio/Research

Burr is director of the Human Performance & Health Research Lab where he seeks to gain a better understanding of the physiological limits to optimal human body performance and the interactions with the physiological stressors of physical activity and exercise.

In the realm of human performance, he investigates novel training methods, interventions and supplements which may lead to an acute or prolonged adaptation and performance improvement. These include such things as blood flow restriction, training tools, and nutraceuticals.

In regard to health, his main interests surround the effects of physical activity, sport, and exercise to alter cardiovascular form and function (e.g. arterial stiffness, endothelial function) and metabolic regulation (glucose control) with a focus on the impact on chronic disease risk and management.

Burr is currently working with the Gryphons Running teams as part of his appointment, which sees him training and testing elite athletes/Olympians.
